What it does
MacWiFi helps you answer the question that speed tests don’t: will this connection actually hold up for calls, streaming, browsing, and real work? This a perfect companion for anyone who is always on the go and has to deal with flaky internet connection on a daily basis. I cannot tell you how many times when the internet was slow and then I went and did a speed test and everything looks perfect. But when I attend my call and it is still same shitty connection.
MacWiFi is a macOS menu bar app that tells you whether your internet is usable right now, and whether the problem is Wi-Fi, router, DNS, or your ISP.
A macOS menu bar app that tells you whether the connection is good enough for calls, streaming, browsing, and real work. Full bars can still hide packet loss, DNS stalls, and loaded latency. That is where calls start breaking. See what is usable now, what is likely to stall, and whether the fault is local or upstream. Calls, streaming, and browsing get plain status labels so you can decide quickly: join the call, move rooms, switch networks, or stop blaming the wrong thing. MacWiFi splits local Wi-Fi health from the internet path, so a bad connection becomes a diagnosis instead of a shrug. Open the menu bar app and see if the connection can handle a live meeting before you join. Use signal…from macwifi.live

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
