# linkq
Dead simple macOS menu bar utility to display the quality of the current internet connection.
Automatically detects and displays the following connection states:
- Offline
- Poor
- Average
- Good
You can download the latest signed universal binary on the [Releases](https://github.com/Renset/linkq/releases) page.
## Screenshots
## Firewall limitations
The quality is measured based on ping jitter, that's why IMCP packets shouldn't be blocked by your ISP/Firewall. Otherwise, the app will display unrelevant 'disconnected' status.
## Motivation
I just wanted to create a simple utility which will show me when I have glitches in my internet connection during my Zoom calls, taking into account some strange [Macbook Wi-Fi issues](https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/97805).
## Contribution
Contributions are welcomed, however, adding new features to linkq is not planned at the moment.
## Build
Checkout repository & build in Xcode.
## License
