NetCheck

Know your internet is actually working.

NetCheck sits quietly in your menu bar as a single dot — green when you have internet, grey when you don't. Unlike the Wi-Fi indicator, it confirms real internet access with a lightweight network probe.

Features

Response time meter

Set how often NetCheck probes your connection — anywhere from 5 seconds to 5 minutes.

Stays out of your way

No dock icon. No Cmd+Tab entry. Just a single dot in your menu bar.

Launch at Login

Start automatically when you log in to your Mac, so you're always covered.
