Bytetally Tracks Mac App Data Use, Offers $19.99 Lifetime Control Tools

Summary
Bytetally helped identify hidden background traffic on a slow Mac, including Chrome downloading about 8GB and another app moving several gigabytes unnoticed.
The Mac app shows per-app upload and download activity in real time, puts current speeds in the menu bar, and lets users throttle or block apps instead of guessing whether Wi-Fi is at fault.
Usage controls extend to capped connections such as an iPhone hotspot, where separate data allowances can flag or stop apps before they burn through mobile data.
Free features include per-app monitoring and seven days of usage history, while Bytetally Pro adds advanced controls for $1.99 a month, $9.99 a year, or a $19.99 lifetime plan.
