TripMode for Mac

TripMode is a small tool that helps you keep data usage under control when your network is slow and expensive. When you're out and about using a phone hotspot or connected to a metered network, background updates, syncs, and downloads on your computer often quietly use up all your data without you noticing. It lets you decide on demand which programs can go online and blocks the ones that don't need to, so you avoid wasting money on a limited data plan. It's suited to Mac users who travel frequently, go on trips, or work on mobile networks, especially when data allowances are tight and speeds aren't ideal. The interface is intuitive and the operation isn't complicated—once installed, you have a clear picture of your data usage.
