What's New in PingStatus
Multi-target monitoring, a compact gaming overlay, redesigned graphs, sparkline icons, smarter alerts, and CSV export.
Multi-Target Monitoring
Monitor up to four additional ping targets simultaneously. See the health of every host — your ISP, CDN, cloud provider — all at a glance in the menu bar and status menu.
Compact Overlay
A floating overlay window that stays on top of fullscreen apps. Perfect for keeping an eye on your ping while gaming — no more alt-tabbing to check your connection.
Redesigned History Graph
Completely rebuilt graph with a color-coded health strip, state-change event markers, packet loss visualization, and smooth 60fps scrolling. Navigate with trackpad gestures or the step controls.
Sparkline & Signal Bar Icons
Choose from three menu bar icon styles: classic status icon, dynamic signal bars that reflect connection quality, or a live sparkline graph showing recent ping history — all at a glance.
Intelligent Notifications
Smarter alerts that reduce notification fatigue. Get detailed, actionable notifications for high latency, high jitter, and gateway issues — with thresholds and context so you can act fast.
CSV Export
Export your ping history and statistics to CSV. Choose a time range and send the data to your ISP, or analyze it in Excel or Numbers to identify patterns.
Free update • 14-day Pro trial included

Does exactly what I need it to do
“I really benefit from its ability to separate the health and status of the gateway from that of the ultimate target. This app is very useful during Zoom or other video calls to know whether the problem is my connection or not, and it helps me know when it’s time to reboot my home router & access point. The history graph is great; it’s configurable to different time frames for different purposes.”

Mac App Store Review
Nice Little Line Monitor!
“Thanks Jon! This was exactly what I was looking for to test the reliability of a new internet provider. I thought I was experiencing some intermittant connectivity issues, but after using your PingStatus tool, it looks like it was likely a specific site that was having issues. This is simple to use and doesn’t get my IP banned from flooding a server with too many pings since I can easily adjust the time interval, etc.”
