PingStatus

macOS / Utilitaires

Is your internet acting up? Stop guessing and start monitoring.

PingStatus lives in your menu bar, giving you a constant, real-time heartbeat of your internet connection. Instantly distinguish between a local Wi-Fi issue and an ISP outage without ever opening a terminal.

— KEEP A PULSE ON YOUR CONNECTION —
PingStatus runs quietly in the background, continuously pinging a target of your choice (like Google, Cloudflare, or your own server). It provides immediate visual feedback when your connection degrades or drops.

FREE FEATURES:

- Real-Time Latency: See your current ping (in ms) directly in the menu bar.
- Gateway Monitoring: Automatically detects and monitors your local router/gateway. Know instantly if the problem is inside your house or out.
- Status Indicators: Simple icons (Green/Yellow/Red) let you know if your connection is Healthy, Slow, or Down based on your custom thresholds.
- Detailed Logs: helpful for proving intermittent issues to your ISP.
- Fully Customizable: adjust ping intervals, timeout duration, and packet loss tolerance to suit your needs.

GO PRO (In-App Purchase):
Upgrade to PingStatus Pro for the ultimate visual monitoring experience:

- Signal Bars Icon: Replace the standard icon with a dynamic, cellular-style signal bar. It updates in real-time based on your latency and packet loss—just like your phone, but for your Mac.
- Live Graphing: Visualize your connection stability carrying over time. The scrolling graph helps you spot "jitter" (spikes in lag) and packet loss patterns that simple numbers miss.
- Dual Graph views: Toggle the graph between your Target Host and Local Gateway with one click.

PERFECT FOR:

- Remote Workers: Know if your connection is stable before joining that Zoom call.
- Gamers: Monitor lag spikes and jitter.
- Network Admins: A lightweight, always-on utility to keep an eye on upstream connectivity.

Download PingStatus today and take the mystery out of your internet connection.

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?

## Version 2.0.6

This update improves permissions handling, resolves connectivity check issues in restricted environments, and addresses compatibility with macOS 26.

### Fixes & Improvements
- **Pro Upgrade**: Fixed an issue preventing Pro upgrades on macOS 26+.
- **Gateway Monitoring (macOS 26+)**: Gateway monitoring is disabled by default on macOS 26+ due to a known issue affecting gateway RTT. The root cause is not determined and is under investigation.
- **Notifications Permission**: Added a direct link to System Settings when notification permission is denied, making it easier to enable them.
- **Settings Validation**: Fixed an issue where the "Enable Notifications" preference could visually appear on even if permission was denied.

Version 2.0 - This is our biggest update yet! We've completely rebuilt PingStatus to be more powerful and visually informative.

NEW PRO FEATURES:
- Signal Bar Icon: You can now switch your menu bar icon to "Signal Bars" mode! This dynamic icon reflects your real-time connection quality-latency and packet loss-at a glance.

- Live Latency Graph: Visualize your connection performance with the new scrolling graph window. Spot jitter, spikes, and dropouts instantly.

IMPROVEMENTS:
- Gateway Monitoring: We now automatically detect and ping your local router. This helps you instantly see if a connection issue is local (Wi-Fi) or external (ISP).
- Smarter Monitoring: Optimized background performance and improved accuracy for ping latency reporting.
- New Settings Ul: A refreshed preferences window makes it easier to customize your alert thresholds and target host.

New Features
- **New Metric**: We now monitor and display **Jitter** statistics. Jitter is a key indicator of connection quality for real-time applications like Zoom calls, gaming, and VoIP. High jitter can cause lag even if ping times are low.
- **Persistent History**: Your connection history is now saved, allowing you to review performance over a longer period.
- **Zoom Controls**: You can now zoom in and out of the graph to see fine-grained details or a broad overview of your connection stability.
- **Time Navigation**: A new slider lets you easily navigate through your connection timeline.
- **3-Day Pro Trial**: We've introduced a 3-day free trial of the Pro version, giving you full access to premium features.

Improvements
- **Improved Status Details**: The details window now provides more explicit status information about your target connectivity.
- **Smarter Notifications**: Reduced notification noise by suppressing "Healthy" alerts immediately after startup or waking from sleep.

Fixes
- **Startup Crash**: Fixed a critical issue causing the app to crash on startup on Intel-based Macs (x64).
- **App Store Links**: Updated the "Redeem" URL for smoother App Store interactions.
