Hover for a 60-second sparkline and the stats behind it: min/avg/max, jitter, packet loss, and session totals.

✨ Features

• Three live readings: round-trip latency (ping), download speed, and upload speed, updated every second.
• Hover for history: a 60-second sparkline with min/avg/max, jitter, packet loss, and session totals.
• Pick your adapter: Automatic follows whichever adapter reaches the internet, or pick one, or all of them.
• Bits or bytes: switch between Mbps and MB/s; units auto-scale from K to T as traffic changes.
• Vertical or horizontal: a slim column or a wide strip, so it fits any edge of your screen.
• Light, dark, or auto: pick a theme, or let Auto follow the Windows light/dark mode and accent color.
• Resize instantly: drag the size slider, or hold Ctrl and scroll over the widget to scale it.
• Stays where you want: keep it on top of other windows, drag it anywhere, and it remembers where you left it.
• Copy on demand: double-click, or right-click → Copy, to grab the current numbers.
• Starts with Windows: optionally launch on sign-in, and check for updates in one click from the menu.
• Honest numbers: stale readings dim, lost pings show as gaps, and it recovers on its own after drops.
• Light on resources: one tiny reading per second, published exactly when the system clock ticks.
