TripMode 3 is here, with a beautiful new design entirely optimised for macOS Big Sur.

The new version is the biggest update ever for TripMode, with powerful data usage controls, deeper privacy insights and historical data usage reports.

Geneva, Switzerland — Alix today introduced TripMode 3, the latest version of the world’s leading data saver on macOS. More than 3 years in the making, TripMode 3 introduces a beautiful redesign that is entirely new yet instantly familiar and easy to use.

For the first time, TripMode 3 includes enhanced capabilities that reach beyond the data saving use cases and bandwidth optimisation, offering Mac users more control and oversight over their online activity and privacy.

  • The new Live Monitor allows TripMode 3 users to oversee the traffic of all apps in real time, making it easy to identify excessive or unexpected data transfers. The TripMode 3 window can be detached from the menu bar and moved around, it is the perfect companion in day-to-day use.
  • The all-new App Inspector adds a privacy insights, by revealing any data transfer activity from or to 3rd party servers, helping users block apps that interact with with suspicious domains.
  • Historical Reports, available when TripMode is turned off, allows users to instantly check how much data was used in total and per app in the past.
  • Advanced users can now also allow all newly detected apps to access the Internet, making TripMode 3 much more flexible for users who just need to block a few apps, and allow all the rest.
  • TripMode 3 is fully taking advantage of the speed, efficiency and design of Apple’s newest Big Sur capabilities, including Network Extensions, SwiftUI, and a revised design, powering TripMode’s popular Profiles, Traffic limits, Scheduler, Hotspot auto-detection, and more.

David Dudok de Wit, TripMode Product Manager and Co-Founder:

It has never been easier to benefit from TripMode in everyday situations: as a data saver when traveling, as a bandwidth optimiser when doing online calls, as a distractions blocker when working, or simply as a discreet companion that keeps an eye out for unusual online activity.
