Know if your internet is flaky before your next call

MacWiFi helps you answer the question that speed tests don’t: will this connection actually hold up for calls, streaming, browsing, and real work? This a perfect companion for anyone who is always on the go and has to deal with flaky internet connection on a daily basis. I cannot tell you how many times when the internet was slow and then I went and did a speed test and everything looks perfect. But when I attend my call and it is still same shitty connection.

Hey Product Hunt,
I built MacWiFi because I kept running into the same annoying loop:
the speed test looked fine, but calls still sounded bad, and I still had no idea whether the problem was my Wi-Fi, my ISP, or just a bad few minutes.
So I made the app I actually wanted for myself. It sits in the menu bar, checks connection quality, and tries to answer the practical question first:
is this internet good enough right now?
I spent way too much time trying to make it feel simple instead of “network tool for network people.” The whole point is to tell you if calls, streaming, and browsing are likely to hold up, and to give you a decent guess about whether the weak spot is your Wi-Fi side or the internet side.
Current version includes:
- live download/upload graph
- plain-English diagnosis
- call / streaming / browsing readiness
- Wi-Fi vs ISP breakdown
- Wi-Fi scan/connect/disconnect from the menu bar
If you try it, the feedback I’d love most is:
- does the diagnosis feel right when your internet is being weird?
- do you trust the Wi-Fi vs ISP call?
- where does it still feel too technical?
Would mean a lot if you gave it a spin :)
