NetCheck sits quietly in your menu bar as a single dot — green when you have internet, grey when you don't.
Unlike the Wi-Fi indicator built into macOS, NetCheck confirms actual internet access with a lightweight network probe. Your Wi-Fi can show full bars while your router has no connection to the internet. NetCheck catches this and alerts you immediately.
Features

- Instant Notifications: Get notified the moment your internet drops, and again when it comes back.
- ISP Identification: See your current ISP or Wi-Fi network name displayed directly in the popover.
- Customizable Check Interval: Choose how often NetCheck probes — every 5 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, or 5 minutes.
- No Dock Icon: Stays out of your way with no Cmd+Tab entry — just a dot in your menu bar.
