Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

Snitch is a cross-platform network traffic visualizer that captures packets via libpcap/Npcap and presents live force-directed graphs, geolocated maps, and anomaly detection in a local web UI. It differentiates itself from firewalls like Little Snitch by focusing on visualization and explanation, with offline geolocation, process attribution, and strong privacy guarantees.

Target audience: devops, security engineers, privacy-conscious users, backend developers
