Show HN: Pingaroo – a tiny native macOS menu bar app for network stats
mallochio Saturday, January 24, 2026
Hi HN,
I built a tiny native menu bar app I'm calling Pingaroo. It separates router latency from internet latency and shows real-time signal quality/noise graphs to help diagnose intermittent lag. Written in 100% Swift/SwiftUI and fully open source.
Pingaroo is a recreation of the WhyFi app by James Potter based on screenshots, with a few personal riffs and improvements.
Feedback welcome!
Summary
Pingaroo is an open-source command-line tool that allows users to easily monitor the availability and performance of network hosts or services. It provides a simple and efficient way to ping multiple targets simultaneously, with customizable settings and output formatting.
