HowOnline is a simple app to display your current ping to or detailed error info (such as not being able to ping 8.8.8.8, being on a self-assigned ip, broken dns, etc).

Features include:

- Monitors WiFi connection for detailed connection information and displays it in your OSX menu bar

- When online, live ping of 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

- Auto-launches at startup if configured

- Totally free and opensource (please contribute! )

I would also love your feedback directly: trivex@ or file issues directly at The other project I work on is called Envoy, check it out:

Thanks!
