A quick 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)
The icon in the middle:
- 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
- Free and opensource (please contribute! also, please verify my Swift design patterns, I'm still learning!)
