Desktop-Class Analysis.

All the depth of Kestrel Sight, redesigned for the Mac with a wider canvas and more power.

Expanded Dashboard

Protocol distribution, top sources, top destinations, encryption summary, and file information — all visible at once.

Sidebar Navigation

Persistent sidebar with categorized panels — Analysis, Forensics, and Tools — always one click away.

Full Packet Inspection

Browse, filter, and inspect every packet with headers, flags, and hex/ASCII payload view.

TCP Stream Reassembly

Reconstruct full application-layer conversations from segmented packets.

Encryption Summary

See encrypted packet counts, HTTPS/TLS/SSH breakdown, and encryption rate at a glance.

Timeline & Custody

Visual event timeline and forensic session tracking for auditable analysis records.

Platform

Native macOS application built with Swift and SwiftUI. Designed for Mac hardware with larger displays and more memory for handling bigger captures.

Privacy

Same offline-first philosophy as all Kestrel apps. Zero network connections. No telemetry. Your captures never leave your Mac.

Part of the Kestrel Suite

Kestrel Talon joins Kestrel Sight and Kestrel Lite (iOS/iPadOS PCAP analysis) and Kestrel Cipher (macOS cryptography toolkit) as part of the Kestrel family. All apps share the same dark theme, offline-first philosophy, and zero-telemetry commitment.
