- Change the URL to ping whenever you like.
Hey PH 👋
I’m excited to show you our second Mac menu bar app. After IP Man (https://www.producthunt.com/post...)… here is Ping Man! 🌟 We are very close to call this a suite. Actually we already have an idea for the next app… 🤫
We really liked creating IP Man. We got the idea of Ping Man right after and were excited to launch a new Mac app. We decided to work on this less than a week ago. We never launched that quickly! So please be gentle 😄 Your feedback is highly appreciated.
Ping Man is very easy to use:
👀 Always keep an eye on your ping displayed on your menu bar.
⚡️ Check which apps consume the most network.
✏️ Change the URL you want to ping.
This look like a great way to monitor bandwidth usage, I have a few questions!
- Does it automatically show all apps that are currently using bandwidth?
- What's the benefit of knowing when your ping hits rock bottom? 🥃😩
- Does Ping Man itself use any bandwidth that's worth mentioning?
@marcperel Hey Marc, thanks for your feedback.
- It automatically shows the top 8 apps using the more bandwidth. Would you like to display more?
- Since you see which apps consume the most network, you can close those you don’t need right now in order to get a better connection. Maybe your dropbox is actually downloading a huge file but it can wait.
- The bandwidth consumption of a ping is marginal. We’re doing a ping every 5 sec; we’re thinking of adding a setting so you can change that interval.
