Cool idea, if there is any room for improvement suggestions I think it'd be very useful to notify users if the IP address changes. Could do this through a notification or just change the colour of the mac menu icon.
@sam_ayres A different state on the icon might be less annoying that a real notification, what do you think?

@marie_dm_ Notifications could potentially be annoying if (for some weird reason your IP resets a lot), I agree.
The state change of the icon is more subtle but then the challenge would be giving the state some form of context so the user understand what it means.
Although I guess the target audience of the app is very developer orientated so they'd probably be able to guess quite quickly what it means. Dealers choice!
@sam_ayres I agree. Also a notification in the form of an alert doesn't stay on the screen and like you said your IP address is not supposed to change that often. Plus, you can configure this in your preferences.
Hi PHunters 😺
I don’t count the number of times I check Google to get my IP address. I thought that instead of always 1) opening a browser 2) type “my ip” on Google 3) select a link 4) select my ip 5) copy/paste it, I could probably build a simple app for myself. Then I thought I could probably share it with you since I’m probably not the only one in this case.
IP Man is pretty simple:
🥋 click on the app icon
📳 it displays your public IP address plus your ethernet or wlan address depending on which one you’re connected with
🖱 you can copy them just by clicking or thanks to the shortcuts displayed on the menu
Additional features I could implement:
- launch at login
- add local IP when connecting with USB iPhone
- add MAC addresses
- your ideas
Feedback and suggestions welcome!
PS: Thanks again @dimitribosch for the name idea ;)

@dimitribosch@marie_dm_ practical and useful. Any thoughts into a paid feature of autocopying the IP addresses to the cloud and syncing the current IP address with a fixed external IP address/URL so that folks could get a psuedo fixed IP address - iPdame
@stepheninoue Thanks Stephen! Unfortunately it's not something I'm planning to do. I think other services already do that. Do you ask because that's something you'd use?

Somehow the app keeps on crashing? Uninstalled the app an installed fresh again. But after starting the app its there in the menu and then it isn't anymore. The app is not running

I'm uninstalling the app. Does not work for me. Keeps crashing on 10.13.6 (17g65), hope for a update. Till then i have no use of this app.
I had a terminal shortcut command setup to quickly fetch the local lan address when I have to test a website hosted in the laptop on my phone. This tool makes it even easier without having to open terminal at all.

I very often go to google and search for "my ip address" and copy it. With Ip Man I have it in hand in case I need it.
Pros:Super handy app
Cons:Can't think of anything
