About
Hotspot Meter is a free macOS menu-bar app that tracks Wi-Fi and hotspot data usage in real time. It shows live download and upload speeds, along with session and per-network totals, so you can keep an eye on data use from the menu bar. It is aimed at anyone on a metered connection, such as phone hotspots, hotel or café Wi-Fi, or travel routers. You can set session limits from 100 MB to 10 GB or a network cap in GB, and receive a notification when usage crosses your limit. Auto-tracking, launch at login, and flexible menu-bar display options are also included. The app runs entirely on your Mac and does not collect, store remotely, or transmit your data. It requires macOS 14 or later. All tracking features are free, and an optional tip unlocks the Terminal, Dial, and Aurora themes.
What's new
All release notesNew: Hotspot Meter now auto-tracks any network it hasn't monitored before — Wi-Fi, tethering, or mobile hotspot — the moment you connect, so nothing slips by uncounted. It's a separate toggle in Settings, alongside the existing hotspot auto-track. Also new: three paid menu bar themes — Terminal (green CRT glow), Dial (an analog gauge face), and Aurora (a dark gradient). Unlock any of them with a tip, and preview each live before committing. Improved: History's reset is now two options. Reset clears a network's usage counter but keeps it listed; Reset & Remove also takes it off the list. Available per network or for everything at once.
