HowOnline · Monitor your WiFi status

macOS / Utilitaires

HowOnline is a simple app to display your current ping to google.com or detailed error info (such as not being able to ping 8.8.8.8, being on a self-assigned ip, broken dns, etc).

Features include:
- Monitors WiFi connection for detailed connection information and displays it in your OSX menu bar
- When online, live ping of google.com to ensure connectivity
- Status refreshes automatically on WiFi adapter state change or every 3 seconds
- Optimized for performance and minimal power usage (doesn't unnecessarily check everything every time)
- Support for both Dark and Light menu bars
- Auto-launches at startup if configured
- Totally free and opensource (please contribute! https://github.com/lg/HowOnline)

I would also love your feedback directly: trivex@gmail.com or file issues directly at https://github.com/lg/HowOnline/issues. The other project I work on is called Envoy, check it out: https://envoy.com.

Thanks!
