I built the Mac utility I kept looking for.
If you've ever tethered your Mac to your phone for a Zoom call, worked from hotel Wi-Fi, or relied on another metered connection, you know how easy it is to lose track of your data usage.
By the time your carrier warns you, the data is often already gone.
So I made Hotspot Meter - a native macOS menu-bar app that shows:
It's completely free. No account, no analytics, no trackers, and no personal data collected or transmitted. Everything is calculated and stored locally on your Mac.
Hotspot Meter is now available on the Mac App Store:

I'd love to hear what you think!

By the time your carrier warns you, the data is often already gone.
So I made Hotspot Meter - a native macOS menu-bar app that shows:
- Live download and upload speeds
- Usage for the current session
- Cumulative totals for each Wi-Fi network or hotspot
- Usage history across connections
- Alerts before you reach a chosen data limit
- Automatic tracking on hotspot connections
It's completely free. No account, no analytics, no trackers, and no personal data collected or transmitted. Everything is calculated and stored locally on your Mac.
