A small app with a clear signal
Status at a glance
A green dot the moment a ping succeeds, red when it fails or the network path drops. The status stays visible in your menu bar — there is no window to open.
Adaptive polling
Checks every 10 seconds while the connection is stable, then tightens to 5 seconds at the first sign of trouble and returns to its calm cadence after three clean pings.
Genuine latency
Measures the actual TCP connect time to your host on port 443. Sandbox-safe by design, with no reliance on /sbin/ping.
Out of the way
Built on native AppKit. It lives in the menu bar with no Dock icon and draws minimal CPU and memory while it watches.
