PeakHour

PeakHour provides real‑time monitoring of Internet throughput, usage, and connection quality directly from the macOS menu bar. It detects compatible routers and other network‑enabled devices, then displays current speeds, historical performance charts, and alerts when data limits are approached. The app also tracks quality metrics for popular streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Video, helping users see how their connection behaves under load.

The utility includes a web‑based remote view, allowing the same monitoring data to be accessed from any modern browser on phones, tablets, or other computers. Users can add a shortcut to a device’s home screen for quick access, and the remote interface is optimized for both desktop and mobile screens.

Designed for macOS 10.10 and later, PeakHour integrates with system dark mode and supports logging, alerts, and iCloud sync. Advanced features such as SNMP polling are available for more detailed device statistics, making it suitable for both casual home users and those who need to verify ISP performance.
