Hotspot Meter: Data Usage
Track Wi-Fi & hotspot data
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
See how much data every network and hotspot uses — live speeds, per-network totals, and a heads-up before you hit your cap. Right from your menu bar.
Hotspot Meter lives in your Mac's menu bar and shows exactly how much data you're using – in real time, on every network you connect to.
It's built for anyone on a metered connection: phone hotspots, hotel and café Wi-Fi, travel routers, or any link where every megabyte counts. Glance at the menu bar for live download and upload speeds, open it for per-network totals, and get a native notification before you reach your limit.
WHAT YOU GET
— Live speeds – real-time download and upload rates, right in the menu bar
— Session + network totals – usage for the current session and the running total for each network, at a glance
— Per-network history – every Wi-Fi and hotspot you've used, with cumulative data and first/last-seen dates
— Usage alerts – pick a limit from 100 MB to 10 GB and get a native macOS notification as you approach it
— Auto-tracking – optionally start the moment you join a hotspot or tethered connection
— Flexible menu bar - show an icon only, session total, network total, or both
— Launch at login - always ready, no setup
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Hotspot Meter runs entirely on your Mac. Nothing is collected, stored remotely, or transmitted. Location access is requested for one reason only: macOS requires it to read the current Wi-Fi network name, so usage can be grouped per network. No location is ever stored or shared — and the app still works without it (networks just appear as "Wi-Fi" instead of by name).
Lightweight, native, and unobtrusive - it sits in your menu bar and keeps count.
