Tools like little snitch don't turn dangerous programs into safe ones; they only give you a false sense of security. I think the name carries a great implication here though. It "snitches" on the apps you have running. Mostly it's not practical (or possible) to work out the "trustworthiness" of every application you run. This discussion has several examples of people realising "_Seriously_ chrome/firefox, you're doing _what?_" when they get Snitched on. That seems useful...
