What is it?
What it is
TapMap is a local, privacy‑preserving network activity visualizer that inspects active sockets, enriches IP addresses with geolocation, and renders an interactive world map with real‑time connections, insights, and historical reports.
Why it exists
It exists to make the invisible internet connections of a computer visible, allowing users to see where their apps reach, detect new or unusual activity, and understand normal patterns without sending any data outside the local machine.
Who should use it
Network enthusiasts, system administrators, developers, and privacy-conscious users who want a local, real-time visual representation of their computer’s internet connections and historical activity patterns.
Who should avoid it
Users seeking a full security suite, firewall, or external monitoring service; users who prefer not to run local services or install additional binaries.
