Konechi
See in your menu bar whether you're on ethernet or Wi-Fi
You plugged the cable in, but you are still on Wi-Fi, and nothing on screen tells you. Konechi asks the Mac which connection is actually carrying your traffic and shows it in the menu bar, with a character who is on top form on a cable, doing fine on Wi-Fi and out of energy offline. Click her for the network name, IP address, link speed and live traffic. Turn on a VPN and she adds a padlock while still showing which link does the work underneath. No Dock icon, no account. Free and open source.
Hi Product Hunt! With a cable plugged in and Wi-Fi still on, macOS doesn't tell you which one is carrying your traffic. Konechi shows it in the menu bar, with details like link speed and live traffic one click away, and keeps showing it through a VPN. macOS 14+, `brew install --cask piro0919/tap/konechi`. Feedback welcome!
