NetDot
Menu Bar Network Monitor
Only for Mac
$2.99
Mac
NetDot is the simplest way to monitor your network connection on macOS.
One dot in your menu bar. Filled means connected. Empty means not. No setup, no configuration, no noise.
Alongside the dot, NetDot shows your link speed directly from the hardware — 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, 10G — so you always know exactly what your connection is capable of, at a glance.
WHAT YOU SEE
· A filled dot (●) when your Mac is connected to a network
· An empty circle (○) when there's no connection
· Your hardware link speed: 100M, 388M, 1G, 10G…
· Private IP address
· Connection type: Wi-Fi or Ethernet
· VPN status — detects when a VPN is active and identifies the protocol (IKEv2, WireGuard, and others)
· MTU value
DESIGNED TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY
NetDot has no preferences window. No onboarding. No notifications asking for your attention. It simply sits in your menu bar, always visible, always accurate, and completely silent.
The design is intentionally monochromatic — no colors, no icons competing for attention. Just the information you need, when you need it.
PERFECT FOR
· Developers and engineers who need a constant, reliable network indicator
· Remote workers who switch between Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and VPN regularly
· Power users who want a lightweight alternative to heavy system monitors
· Professionals who value minimal, distraction-free tools
NetDot is a one-time purchase. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no account required.
