Skeebus is a macOS app that displays your current public IP address in the menu bar along with a country flag. You can choose to hide the IP address and show only the country flag. The app uses GeoIP services from ipinfo.io to provide details such as country, region, city, postal code, latitude and longitude, ISP, and hostname. You can click the latitude and longitude coordinates to plot the location on a map. Skeebus also lists the IP addresses for your local network interfaces. If Skeebus cannot reach the GeoIP provider, it will fall back to another provider and determine your IP address without GeoIP details. The app does not contact providers on a set interval. Instead, it automatically refreshes when an interface changes state, such as plugging or unplugging a cable, connecting or disconnecting wireless, or connecting or disconnecting a VPN. You can also refresh the data manually at any time.

Great, but needs refresh settings

This app works pretty well, except that it doesn’t refresh when your IP changes, and you have to manually refresh. Sometimes on startup, it starts off as offline until you refresh it. Seems like a simple refresh interval setting would solve these problems.

does not auto refreshedit: i was corrected, rather sternly by the developer on this issue. this app most certainly does auto refresh unless you are using a vpn. i bought this specifically to monitor my vpn public address, so for me, it does not auto refresh. i did find an app that in fact DOES auto refresh under vpmn usage called 'Display My IP'edit: i use whole site vpn so there is no interface state change that it can read. the only way to discern that is by using an internet-based server as a lighthouse.

Developer Response
Given your latest response about using a site VPN, that makes sense. That is not the way this app was designed to work. It does not send any outbound communication unless it detects a local interface state change, in which case it reaches out to ipinfo.io to refresh the information.

Does what it says, but I mainly want to use it to insure I’m VPNed when I think i am. This fails as chaning external IPs doesn’t refresh the IP. Even an auto refresh every 5 seconds or so would do the trick...

I tried a few of these apps and this works the best. Unobtusive. Has a refresh button (so I dont know what everybodys complaining about) but rarely use it as it updates lickity-split on IP change.
