Features

✅ Utilizes BSD Ping of your macOS system under the hood

🌒 Supports light and dark mode

🕐 Custom interval for each ping targer (500ms, 1s, 5s, 30s and 1m)

🚀 Launch at login for the lazy ones

Room for improvement

  • Assumes BSD ping utility resides at /sbin/ping (default path for macOS). If it's not there, well, it won't work. In fact it might crash, I didn't check.
  • Parsing BSD ping's output is to say the least... naive. Regex would be a good next improvement if not rolling an entirely homebrew ICMP infra.
  • Needs an auto-update mechanism. Sparkle has been evaluated as good candidate.
