## What it is
TapMap is a self-hosted desktop application that inspects local socket data, enriches IP addresses with geolocation, and visualizes your computer's internet connections in real time on an interactive world map. It builds a local activity history with insights and daily reports, acting as a network awareness tool rather than a firewall or security suite.

## Use cases
- visualize where my computer's internet connections go on a world map
- monitor network connections in real time with geolocation
- find out which apps are connecting to which servers
- detect new or unusual network activity on my machine
- track network activity history and patterns over time
- self-hosted network observability dashboard
- see which countries my traffic goes to

## When to choose
- you want a visual, real-time map of your machine's outbound network connections
- you want a local, no-telemetry awareness tool with activity history and daily reports
- you want installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux, or a Docker deployment on Linux

## When to avoid
- you need a firewall, intrusion detection, or full security suite - TapMap only makes activity visible
- you need precise geolocation - IP locations are approximate
- you need network-wide monitoring across multiple devices - it inspects only the local machine
