Watch your computer connect across the internet in real time. Discover the world behind your apps.

Runs locally. No telemetry. Docker supported on Linux.

TapMap inspects local socket data, enriches IP addresses with geolocation, and visualizes the locations on an interactive map.

It also builds a local activity history to provide insights and identify patterns in network activity over time.

It is an awareness tool, not a firewall or a full security suite. It makes network activity visible and easy to explore.
