Funny name given Santa Claus and Sinterklaas.

I believe Little Snitch has an equivalent feature (perhaps less advanced?). How do these compare?

From the README:

> The first open-source macOS solution for allowing/denying processes was Google Santa.

[...]

> Thus, we set out to develop Sinter, short for "Sinter Klausen," another name for Santa Claus.
