Always-visible throughput
Fixed-width upload and download rates in the menu bar, aligned and readable no matter how fast the numbers change.
macOS Menu Bar Utility
Network throughput, always in view
SNMP Taskbar connects directly to the routers, switches, and firewalls you configure and shows live upload and download rates right in the macOS menu bar — no dashboard to open.
Features
Everything you need, nothing you don't
Designed for network engineers and power users who want live data without a web UI or a cloud account.
15-minute live history
Hover the menu bar item for a smooth Catmull-Rom spline graph. Open the detail window for current, peak, average, and total transferred values.
Multiple devices and interfaces
Monitor any number of SNMPv2c routers, switches, or firewalls. Pick the interfaces that matter, give them names and icons, and reorder them freely.
Controls for real networks
Invert direction per interface, choose a smoothing window of 1–60 s, pick Mbps/Kbps/Gbps or MB/s, and use linear or log history scale.
Local traffic notifications
Set optional per-interface alert thresholds. SNMP Taskbar posts a standard macOS notification — no cloud service involved.
Private by design
No account, no cloud service, no analytics, no advertising. Configuration stays on your Mac and monitoring traffic goes only to your devices.
What does SNMP Taskbar store?
All configuration is saved in macOS user defaults on your Mac. The app communicates only with the SNMP devices you set up — never with a remote server, analytics service, or developer-controlled endpoint. There are no crash reports, no telemetry, and no hidden network calls.
Router hostnames, community strings, interface names, display settings, and alert thresholds stay on your machine. Read the full privacy policy for details.
