@marcperel Hey Marc, thanks for your feedback.
- It automatically shows the top 8 apps using the more bandwidth. Would you like to display more?
- Since you see which apps consume the most network, you can close those you don’t need right now in order to get a better connection. Maybe your dropbox is actually downloading a huge file but it can wait.
- The bandwidth consumption of a ping is marginal. We’re doing a ping every 5 sec; we’re thinking of adding a setting so you can change that interval.
Got the notification and rushed over here to join the conversation! Super excited for this one. Will try it out :) Good luck!
@dinuka_jayasuriya Hi Dinuka, thanks! 😁 We changed our mind on which product to work on but we launched one anyway 🚀
Hey PH 👋
I’m excited to show you our second Mac menu bar app. After IP Man (https://www.producthunt.com/post...)… here is Ping Man! 🌟 We are very close to call this a suite. Actually we already have an idea for the next app… 🤫
We really liked creating IP Man. We got the idea of Ping Man right after and were excited to launch a new Mac app. We decided to work on this less than a week ago. We never launched that quickly! So please be gentle 😄 Your feedback is highly appreciated.
Ping Man is very easy to use:

@francoolaami What do you mean? The ping is displayed on the menu bar (see the first screenshot). Do you have a link to this app please?
@marie_dm_ i mean bars is more intuitive than numbers (check why pilots stil use needle watches) . No link but you can search. Installed it years ago
@marie_dm_ @francoolaami If you care enough about your ping to install a menu bar app, I think you're more likely to also want to actually see what your ping is rather than some arbitration - at least I know that'd be my preference.
Love the name, Ping Man. Sounds like a super hero... with a very mundane superpower. 😂
@rrhoover aha you have no idea what other names we have in mind for our next products 😄
Tell us more about the story behind Ping Man and how you built it togther @marie_dm_ @yesnoornext
@yesnoornext @abadesi Hi Abadesi, you were faster than us! I was about to publish a message :)
@graeme_fulton Thank you Grame! 😄 I love what @yesnoornext did for the logo and all the visuals.
I'd love to try this product in exchange for a review on Product Hunt and the App Store.
