NotchFi: Wi-Fi & Hotspot Meter
Signal & speed in your notch
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
See your Mac's connection at a glance: signal, live speed and data usage right beside the notch. Made for iPhone Hotspot and working on the go.
NotchFi puts your Mac's internet connection right where you look: the top of the screen.
A slim island beside the notch shows your signal and live download speed. Hover over it and it opens into a full card — signal strength in dBm, quality, channel, upload and download speeds with a 60-second graph, and your last speed test. Move away and it tucks itself back in. On Macs without a notch, it sits in the same spot.
MADE FOR IPHONE HOTSPOT
• Detects when your Mac is tethered to an iPhone or another hotspot and labels it clearly.
• Shows your carrier's name, for example "iPhone Hotspot (Turkcell)".
• Tracks how much mobile data you've used and warns you at 80% and 100% of your plan.
• Runs a lighter speed test on metered connections so it doesn't eat your data.
ONE-CLICK SPEED TEST
Measure download, upload, latency and jitter in seconds, powered by Cloudflare's speed test network. The result becomes the reference for the capacity bar, so you can see how much of your connection you're using right now.
KNOW WHEN THINGS CHANGE
Short alerts appear in the notch when your connection drops, comes back, switches to a hotspot or nears its data limit.
EVERY DETAIL IN THE MENU BAR
Click the menu bar icon for Wi-Fi standard (Wi-Fi 4–7), channel and band, link rate, noise, interface, router address, Low Data Mode and data usage per network. Show live speeds next to the icon, or color it by signal quality.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no analytics, no tracking. NotchFi collects no data.
• Usage history and settings stay on your Mac.
• Location access is optional and only used because macOS requires it to reveal the Wi-Fi network name. NotchFi never reads or stores your location.
THOUGHTFUL DETAILS
• Available in 45 languages, including right-to-left layouts.
• VoiceOver labels and Reduce Motion support.
• Optional launch at login.
• Native, lightweight and built for macOS 14 Sonoma and later.
A NOTE ON CELLULAR SIGNAL
Apple doesn't allow Mac apps to read an iPhone's cellular signal (bars, 5G/LTE, band). When you're on iPhone Hotspot, NotchFi shows the strength of the Wi-Fi link between your Mac and your iPhone, and says so — it never shows made-up numbers.
