# 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.
