Internet Access Policy Viewer
Internet Access Policy Viewer is a free macOS utility that shows which installed apps include an Internet Access Policy and what network connections they describe.
What is Internet Access Policy Viewer?
Internet Access Policy Viewer is a macOS utility for checking whether installed apps include an Internet Access Policy and reading what that policy says about their Internet use. It helps privacy-conscious users understand where an app may connect online, what those connections are for, and how that information can support firewall decisions. The app can list installed applications that already contain an Internet Access Policy, open the policy details for closer review, and also show other Mac apps that participate in the same transparency initiative. This makes it useful for people who want a clearer picture of app network behavior without inspecting traffic manually. It is published by Objective Development and fits naturally into Mac privacy and system utility workflows.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
This app's purpose is to display Internet Access Policy information for Mac apps, which is consistent with a privacy-focused utility. It is associated with Objective Development's Internet Access Policy initiative and does not need unusual system-level access to fulfill its main role. As with any utility that inspects installed apps, keep it only if it came from a trusted source such as the publisher or the Mac App Store.
Recommendation: Keep it if you want an easy way to review network-use disclosures for your installed Mac apps or compare apps that publish Internet Access Policy information. If you do not use it for privacy review or firewall-related decisions, you can remove it without affecting normal operation of other apps.
