NetGlint - Live download speed, quietly in your Mac menu bar

by•
NetGlint is a tiny native macOS app that shows live download activity at a glance. It reads local network counters, so there are no speed tests, accounts, analytics, or telemetry. Click the menu-bar reading for upload activity, the active interface, and launch-at-login controls. Free and open source under MIT.

I built NetGlint because I wanted one calm number in the menu bar—not another dashboard, and not a speed test that creates its own traffic. The app is native Swift, refreshes once a second, and never sends data anywhere. The compact label stays focused on download activity; the panel adds upload, interface, and startup controls. It is free, MIT licensed, and intentionally small. Feedback on accuracy across different Mac network setups is especially welcome.
