In plain words
Pingpoint is an app that plots network ping data onto maps to visualize cell signal strength and latency across areas, routes, and trails. Users can record ping sessions while traveling to identify the fastest signals and diagnose connectivity issues on the road. The app displays results as color-coded markers ranging from green to red, representing good to poor latency, and allows customization of ping intervals and target hosts for testing.

PingStalker – A macOS tool for network engineersNov 2025 · pingstalker.com · ▲77Hi HN - I’m the developer of PingStalker, a macOS utility I built to see what’s really happening on the LAN/WLAN. I live in the CLI, but when it came to discovery and monitoring, I found it limiting. So I built a GUI that brings my favorite tools together in one place. PingStalker started because I wanted to know if something on the network was scanning my machine. I also wanted quick access to core details—external IP, Wi-Fi data, and local topology. Then I wanted more: fast, reliable scans using ARP tables and ICMP. As a Wi-Fi engineer, I couldn’t stop there. I kept adding ways to…

Howdy HN! I find myself testing my ping from time to time, especially when my internet seems wonky while WFH. It feels like there should be an easier way test my ping than puling up a terminal or a complex web app - especially when I'm on my phone or any other device that doesn't have a terminal. I figured I should be the change I wish to see in the world and created this super light ping test. I also created a latency monitoring solution (https://github.com/cjjeakle/network-monitor), feel free to clone and try it out! I know there are a lot more mature monitoring…
