About:
IsThereNet is a lightweight macOS menu bar utility that provides real-time visibility into your network connectivity status. It continuously monitors your internet connection and alerts you immediately when you go offline or come back online. This simple tool eliminates the need for manual ping tests or terminal commands to diagnose connection issues.
Key Features:
  • Real-time connection monitoring with instant status updates
  • Menu bar icon that changes to reflect online/offline status
  • Minimal system resource usage and non-intrusive operation
  • No configuration required - works out of the box
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring connection stability for remote work or video calls
  • Quickly diagnosing network issues without using terminal commands
  • Verifying internet status after waking your Mac from sleep
Alternatives:
  • Network Utility – Built-in macOS tool but requires manual checks and lacks real-time monitoring
  • PingStatus – Similar functionality but IsThereNet is simpler and more lightweight
