PingNetwork Uptime Monitor for macOS
Ping is a simple uptime monitor that uses your Mac's internet connection. Keep track of the status & speed of websites, APIs, servers, routers or any endpoint and get feedback directly in your menu bar and local notifications.
- Heads-up-display of the status of all your sites right in the menu bar.
- Get local notifications when a url is erroring or unreachable.
- HTTP & ICMP pinging.
- IPv6 support.
- Measure and configure response times to see if a url is performing slowly.
- Control how often you want to ping your urls.
- Customize the information you want to display.
- Secure & private: no tracking or analytics.
- Fully native app with performance & battery life in mind.
- Built-in response logging or stream responses to terminal.
- Configure webhooks to ping another service when an endpoint is down to send yourself an email, sms, etc.
- AppleScript support for building your own custom workflows.
Instead of paying a monthly fee for an external notification service, get notified directly for free while you are actively working at your computer. Ideal for webmasters, dev ops, gamers, network administrators, or anyone!
