Wired
Ethernet status in your menu bar. IP, MAC, interface details and connection checks at a glance.
Features
What you get when Wired runs in your menu bar.
Status at a glance
RJ45 icon in the menu bar shows connected or disconnected. Active interface name (e.g. en0) when wired. No extra window, no dock icon.
Connection details
Quickly check whether Ethernet is connected and see current interface details directly from the menu.
Interface details
From the menu: IPv4, IPv6, MAC, vendor, model, default route. Copy IP or MAC to clipboard with one click.
Quick checks
Ping gateway or 8.8.8.8 from the menu. Launch at login so status is always there after reboot.
Requires macOS 13+. Best tested on macOS Tahoe.

Up and running in under a minute.

Always in your menu bar
Ethernet status is live in your menu bar. Enable "Launch at Login" to keep it across reboots.
