Trying to understand how notarization by #Apple for apps downloaded outside #AppStore works and what the benefits are: They are scanned for known malware, but that doesn’t mean you are protected against e.g. data exfiltration? Like a text editor that open files locally but also sends them to a cloud server.

This is where #LittleSnitch is a possible solution. But what if the app wants to access something on Cloudflare? How could to tell if that’s a benign connection or not?

@Tender I don't use the cloud either. Except for photos I deliberately decide to share with others, all my files stay offline. On my Mac, connections to iCloud, CreativeCloud etc. are blocked with #LittleSnitch.

My culling routine is basically just browsing through the OOC JPGs from the SD card and later opening the RAF versions of the photos I liked. I'm used to it and it doesn't require additional software, however I wouldn't recommend this routine to anyone as it's painfully inefficient. 🤭
