TripMode 3.0.5 Release Notes

Refreshed App Inspector, which now includes upload and download indicators

This new version of TripMode includes a lot of stability and usability improvements, adds AppleScript support, and includes a few bug fixes.

We introduced a key change in the setup and update process, that should make it smoother. When updating TripMode, it should now happen silently and no longer ask for your approval to update the network filter. We also cover more corner cases to ensure the setup happens smoothly.

The App Inspector now also includes upload and download indicators, making it easier to understand where your data is flowing. To check it out, simply click on the “>” button next to any app in the main TripMode screen.

AppleScript support has also been added. This allows you to set up custom automation scripts and link them with TripMode, a much requested feature from power users. To see which commands are available, open Apple’s Script Editor > File > Open Dictionary > TripMode.

TripMode 3.0.5 adds AppleScript support. Here are the available interactions.
