macOS menu bar utility

Network Interface Monitor

Live upload and download speeds in your menu bar, with clear adapter labels for Wi-Fi, Ethernet, VPN tunnels, and system interfaces.

What it shows

Speed, direction, and adapter context.

Keep the menu bar compact, then open the main window when you want the full per-interface picture.

Menu bar speeds

See download and upload rates with separate mini graphs that update live.

Wi

Wi-Fi and Ethernet

Physical adapters are labeled using macOS interface metadata, not just raw names like en0.

Virtual interfaces

VPN tunnels, bridges, and Apple local-device interfaces are grouped with friendlier labels.

Live totals

The main window shows current speeds, transferred totals, and active adapter rows.

Hide to menu bar

Use the red close button or menu command to tuck the app away while monitoring continues.

Start at Login

Optionally launch the monitor automatically when you sign in to your Mac.

Window view

A quick read on what is moving.

The app uses local macOS byte counters. It does not inspect packet contents or upload your network activity.
