DataSabi is a free Linux desktop app that shows which app is using your internet data, live and per app. It's built for people on a MiFi or phone hotspot where data is limited, and it alerts you when one app starts eating data fast (50 MB in 15 minutes by default, adjustable).
Requirements: Ubuntu 22.04+ or Debian 12, and a MiFi or hotspot connection. Install needs sudo. Fedora support is in beta.
