01What it does

BandPeek is a free, open-source menu-bar app for macOS. It shows live download and upload speeds, today's usage and the apps behind it, with a history of per-app totals that never leaves your Mac.

02Why it exists

When a connection slows down or a data cap runs out, the operating system rarely says which app is responsible. BandPeek answers that question quietly, without accounts, telemetry, packet capture or administrator rights.

03What makes it useful

Features

  1. ■ 01

    Live speeds in the menu bar

    Download and upload rates, refreshed with every two-second sample, in a fixed-width layout that doesn't jitter.

  2. ■ 02

    Per-app history

    Download, upload and share for Today, Yesterday, the last 7 days and the last 30 days — sortable and filterable.

  3. ■ 03

    Local by design

    No accounts, cloud history, analytics or telemetry. Usage history stays in a local database you can clear at any time.

  4. ■ 04

    Honest numbers

    A published accuracy contract explains what is measured, what can be missed and why totals differ from an ISP meter.

04In the product
