tinyping

Is it the network, or is it you?

A tiny always-on-top ping monitor for the Mac. Point it at any host, and it draws a live latency graph in a floating panel small enough to leave in the corner of your screen all day.

What it does

📈

Live latency graph

Every reply is plotted as it arrives, so slow-downs and spikes are visible as a shape rather than a scrolling wall of numbers.

🟢

Status at a glance

A colored indicator tells you whether the host is responding, responding slowly, or gone — readable from across the room.

🎯

Any host you like

Your router, your VPN gateway, a server you're deploying to, or 1.1.1.1. Enter a hostname or IP address and it starts.

🪟

Floats above everything

A borderless panel that stays on top of your other windows without stealing focus or showing up in your window switcher.

🎛️

Yours to tune

Adjust how the panel looks and how much history it keeps, then let it remember its size and position between launches.

🪶

Barely there

Native Swift and SwiftUI, no background services, no helper daemons, and no measurable impact on battery life.

Privacy

tinyping collects nothing. It has no accounts, no analytics and no tracking. The only network traffic it creates is the ping you asked for, sent to the host you typed in. Read the full privacy policy.
