A data usage monitor for your Mac that makes it very easy to see how much data your MacBook is using and which apps are using it. Separates Wi-Fi and Mobile Hotspot traffic. Includes real-time download and upload traffic.
I have been developing this macOS app for monitoring data usage, while traveling around the world. I got the idea for the app when I had to use a mobile hotspot instead of wifi for a while and I wanted to see how much data my Mac apps were using. I have personally found it very useful during my travels and I hope someone else finds it useful as well. I released it as my very first freemium app as a way to learn what it takes to build something like that end to end.
Love that it splits Wi-Fi and hotspot traffic right in the menu bar, that little separation is such a thoughtful detail for anyone tethering on the road. Clean execution.
Finally gave this a spin on my MacBook and the split between Wi-Fi and hotspot traffic is genuinely useful, especially since I tether a lot when traveling. The real-time upload and download bars update fast enough to actually catch what is hogging data.

Love that it separates Wi-Fi and Mobile Hotspot traffic right in the menu bar. Most data monitors just dump everything into one number, so this split makes it way easier to spot the real bandwidth hogs.
does it track per app in real time or is there a short delay before the numbers update?
Love how cleanly it splits Wi-Fi and hotspot traffic right in the menu bar. Most data monitors I have tried just dump everything together, so that little separation is genuinely useful.
