PeakHour

Meet PeakHour

PeakHour is a Mac network monitor that shows bandwidth, latency, and connection status in a dashboard and the menu bar. It follows the path from the computer through the router and internet provider, helping users distinguish a local Wi-Fi issue from trouble farther along the connection. History charts make longer-term changes easier to inspect.

Speed tests include responsiveness and latency under load, with comparisons against the internet plan a user enters. Alerts can flag outages and sustained Wi-Fi problems. On supported macOS versions, an advisor explains connection quality in plain language. Polling intervals, thresholds, layout, and notification rules can be adjusted to suit the user's setup.
