Muninn

Muninn is a real-time, cross-platform network monitoring desktop application built with Electron and React.
It helps you visualise active network connections, monitor traffic, and detect unusual activity — all securely, 100% locally.

Features

• Monitor network traffic, active connections, and open ports
• Real-time bandwidth graphs and interface statistics
• OS notifications for suspicious activity
• 100% local — no telemetry, no data collection, no internet required
• Manual update checks via GitHub Releases
• Cross-platform: macOS, Windows, Linux

Tech Stack

• React (UI built with Vite)
• Electron (cross-platform desktop shell)
• systeminformation, cap (for network stats)
• electron-builder (packaging and publishing)
• Native notifications via Electron

Getting Started (Development)

git clone https://github.com/HawkdotDev/muninn.git

cd muninn

npm install

npm run dev

This will launch the app in development mode using Vite + Electron.

Privacy

Muninn is a 100% local application.

• No usage data is collected or transmitted
• No background network connections
• All monitoring is performed locally, on-device
• Users can manually check for updates — the app will never auto-update or phone home

Manual Update Checks

You can check for updates by clicking “Check for Updates” in the app. Muninn will query GitHub Releases and notify you if a new version is available — no updates are ever downloaded silently.

Build for Production

To build the app for distribution:

npm run build

The build artifacts will be located in the dist/ folder (renderer) and packaged via electron-builder.
