MacWiFi
Know if Wi-Fi or your ISP is the problem
MacWiFi is a macOS menu bar app that diagnoses internet connectivity issues by checking local Wi-Fi health, router response, DNS, packet loss, loaded latency, and the ISP path. It provides plain-language status labels for calls, streaming, and browsing so users can quickly identify whether a problem is with their Wi-Fi, router, DNS, or ISP. The app runs quietly in the background without requiring users to interpret raw network metrics.
The app continuously runs background checks from the macOS menu bar, measuring Wi-Fi signal quality, router ping, DNS response, packet loss, and loaded latency, then displays simple Good/Poor labels per use case.
