## Kitsmith's take

Does one job — show your current network throughput in the menu bar — and does it for less than a dollar. Recently rewritten in SwiftUI for “faster and more compatible with latest macOS versions,” per the developer, which is also the catch: the current version requires macOS 26 (Tahoe), so it won’t install on older systems even though the app itself is undemanding (the binary is under 130KB). From Moshe Gottlieb’s long-running Sharkfood label, alongside a fitness tracker and a “retro terminal” app — the kind of small, maintained utility portfolio that suggests this isn’t going to be abandoned mid-update.

## Features

- **Live bandwidth graph and numbers:** Upload and download throughput shown together in the menu bar.
- **Universal binary:** Native support for both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
- **Tiny footprint:** Under 130KB — one of the smallest apps in this catalog.
