Mac

See how this Mac uses the internet — without us seeing anything about you. Live speeds, honest history, and hotspot awareness. All stored locally. NetLens Pro is a native desktop menu-bar utility that shows how many bytes this device downloads and uploads—privately, clearly, and without an account. See how your computer uses the internet without your data being shared with a third-party account system. There is no sign-in, no developer server, no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party SDK. Usage records stay on this computer unless you explicitly export a CSV to a location you choose. WHAT YOU GET • Live download and upload speeds in the menu bar, including a compact activity graph • Today, history, and per-network totals measured on this computer • Tracking coverage that reports only confirmed observation time; pauses, sleep, and periods when the app is not running are never estimated • Optional personal hotspot / expensive-path awareness, with a session counter and a monthly total • Local alerts for daily totals, monthly allowance, unusual activity, and an optional hotspot limit • CSV export you start yourself, with network names omitted unless you choose to include them • Light, Dark, and System appearance HOW IT WORKS NetLens Pro reads the public cumulative byte counters the operating system exposes for the active physical interface. It records only the difference between samples, then discards the raw readings. Loopback, bridge, peer-to-peer, and other virtual interfaces are excluded by default so totals are not double-counted. Normal network protocol overhead may be included in the physical-interface total; traffic contents are never inspected. WHO IT IS FOR People who want a calm, local meter for this computer—not a whole-home router tool, not a packet inspector, and not a per-app monitoring panel. Ideal for metered connections, personal hotspots, or anyone who wants reliable local usage history for this device. PERMISSIONS • Tracking starts only after consent in onboarding or Settings • Location is requested only if you want the current Wi-Fi network name; skipping it keeps tracking active as Unidentified Wi-Fi • Notifications are requested only if you enable an alert • Launch at login is off by default WHAT IT DOES NOT DO NetLens Pro does not identify applications, websites, DNS, or IP addresses. It does not measure other devices on your network. It cannot reconstruct usage while the app is closed or paused. Provider bills may differ because they use different boundaries and rules. Paid up front on the Mac App Store. Every feature is included. No subscriptions, trials, or in-app purchases. Requires macOS 14 or later.
