  Description     : monitor network traffic per executable

Picosnitch is a per application bandwidth monitor which notifies users when new apps make internet connections, or when the hash of an application has changed since its last connection.

It has a terminal based UI for browsing and filtering traffic history on: time, executable, sha256, parent of the executable, uid, local/remote ports, local/remote addresses, or domain.

There is also an optional GUI for viewing bandwidth graphs using plotly dash (https://pypi.org/project/dash/) which needs to be installed separately with pip or pipx. It would be nice if this could be packaged in Debian as well.
