Description

WiFi Scout lives quietly in your menu bar, watching your Wi-Fi so you don't have to — until something goes wrong

WiFi Scout lives quietly in your menu bar, watching your Wi-Fi so you don't have to — until
  something goes wrong.

  Every second, WiFi Scout measures your connection latency, tracks packet loss, and logs your Wi-Fi
   details to a local database. When you're frustrated by a slow video call, a stuttering stream, or
   a dropped VPN, you'll have the data to understand exactly what happened and why.

  Know your network at a glance

  A color-coded dot in your menu bar tells you your connection quality in real time — green when
  things are good, yellow when latency creeps up, red when you're losing packets. One click shows
  your public and private IP addresses, ISP, average latency, packet loss, signal strength (RSSI),
  Wi-Fi channel, band, and the BSSID of your access point.

  Catch Wi-Fi roaming problems

  If you have multiple access points — a mesh network, a router and range extender, or a corporate
  Wi-Fi system — your Mac silently moves between them as you walk around. This roaming is supposed
  to be seamless, but it often isn't. A poorly timed handoff can freeze a video call, stall a file
  transfer, or drop a VPN.

  WiFi Scout's ping history highlights BSSID changes in bold the moment they happen, so you can see
  exactly which roam coincided with the problem. If your Mac is bouncing between two access points
  with weak overlap, you'll see it immediately.

  Understand channel congestion

  Wi-Fi channels get crowded. If a neighbor's router is competing on the same 2.4 GHz channel, or
  your access point flips to a congested one, your performance suffers. WiFi Scout records the
  channel and band for every ping so you can correlate slowdowns with channel changes and give your
  network administrator the exact data they need.

  Built for people who care about their connection

  - Remote workers whose livelihoods depend on a stable connection
  - Gamers tracking latency spikes and packet loss during sessions
  - Network administrators diagnosing Wi-Fi coverage gaps
  - Anyone in a home or office with multiple access points

  Export and analyze

  Every measurement is stored locally in a private SQLite database — no accounts, no cloud, no
  subscription. Use Export Data to choose how many of your most recent pings to export, then paste
  the tab-separated results directly into Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets. See patterns across
  hours or days, identify which rooms or times of day are problematic, and make the case for a
  network upgrade with real evidence.
