Is your Wi-Fi
actually working?
WiFi Scout tracks latency, packet loss, and access point roaming in real time — right from your Mac menu bar.
WiFi Scout tracks latency, packet loss, and access point roaming in real time — right from your Mac menu bar.
One click reveals the full picture — no Terminal, no third-party tools, no guesswork.
A color-coded dot in your menu bar reflects connection health at a glance. Green, yellow, or red — you always know.
Measures round-trip time to Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 server every second and surfaces the average and packet loss rate instantly.
See the BSSID, SSID, RSSI signal strength, channel number, band, and channel width of your current access point.
BSSID changes are highlighted in bold in the ping history so you can instantly spot when your Mac switches access points.
Every measurement is stored in a private SQLite database on your Mac. No cloud, no account, no subscription.
Export your full history as a tab-separated file and paste directly into Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets.
In a home or office with multiple access points, your Mac decides when to roam — and it doesn't always choose well. A roam during a video call causes a freeze. A roam during a VPN session drops the connection.
WiFi Scout shows you the exact timestamp and latency reading for every access point handoff, so you can correlate the roam with the problem and fix the root cause — whether that's repositioning a router, adjusting transmit power, or upgrading your network.
Know immediately when your network is the reason a call sounds bad.
Correlate lag spikes with latency data and packet loss in real time.
Find dead zones, weak coverage, and competing channels around your home.
Gather per-second BSSID, channel, and RSSI data to diagnose coverage gaps.
WiFi Scout was designed with privacy as a default, not an afterthought.
