Gregory's ServerNew app:
Online Check — See whether you are online or not directly in the menu bar

Added support for running a shortcut (from the Shortcuts app) on online/offline status changes. This enables a lot of cool use-cases. You could, for example, restart your Wi-Fi when the connection goes out. Or you could do your own logging. Or your own notifications. @sindresorhus nice 😀 How about reporting the length of the outage in the connection up notification?  @sindresorhus ah sweet I wanted one of these forever. Any chance to specify my own online target servers if I don’t like the default ones? @sindresorhus Cool, I’ll probably use this app. Suggestion - if you could add links to open network and/or wi-fi settings I could probably remove the wi-fi icon from my menu bar and just use this app instead 😊  @sindresorhus as a non-mac user, surprised to hear this isn't something already provided by the OS... sweet app, though! love small utilities like this—focused on one particular thing, nothing more, nothing less :)  @sindresorhus Cool! I noticed that if online-check isn’t in the main menu bar but rather in Bartender’s secondary bar, it doesn’t turn red when my Mac is offline. It _does_ turn red when in the main menu bar. Is that expected behavior? @podfeet That is unrelated to Online Check and something you will have to contact Bartender support about. |
The app is forever free (without any ads or tracking) and requires macOS 14.
