A Mac app for latency, packet loss, jitter, and the path those replies take.

One-time purchase. Updates included. Requires macOS 26.6 or later.

The Ping Flow dashboard. A summary shows how many targets are up, how many are down, and the average latency. Each target is a card with its latest reply, a sparkline, and packet loss.

Get the highlights.

Live

Every target, at once.

The dashboard counts what is up, what is down, and the average of the latest replies.

200 msFastest

1 minSlowest

Your interval.

From every 200 milliseconds to once a minute. Each probe is a 64-byte echo.

Diagnostics

A match is a clue, not a cause.

Beside the Wi-Fi link.

Latency, signal, transmit rate, and network events share one clock.

The subnet, mapped.

Devices that answer, as a list or a topology. Silent addresses stay off the map.

The hosts you name.

A gateway, a name on the internet, or anything else you type. Ping Flow groups them into Local Network, Internet Reference, and Custom Targets. Start from Cloudflare, Google, Apple, or Quad9, or add a host of your own.

Pause one target, or pause them all. Checking also stops while the Mac is asleep or offline, and resumes when the network is back.

One target, in detail.

Minimum, average, maximum, jitter, and loss for the range in view. The chart covers one minute, five minutes, fifteen minutes, or every reply still in the session. A strip underneath marks which packets came back.

Ping Flow target detail for a gateway. A large latency readout, a five-minute chart, tiles for minimum, average, maximum, jitter, loss, and packets sent, then a strip of recent replies.

Connection evidence.

Diagnostics puts latency next to this Mac’s Wi-Fi signal, noise, transmit rate, and network events. An incident can be labeled Wi-Fi, upstream, DNS, a single destination, congestion, roaming, the gateway, and several others. The label is a clue. Ping Flow does not claim it has found the cause.

Ping Flow diagnostics. Connection health shows latency, average, jitter, loss, Wi-Fi RSSI, SNR, and transmit rate. Below that, a correlation chart plots latency over the last five minutes.

Export the evidence as CSV, JSON, a report, or a PDF. History stays on the Mac, for seven days unless you change it. Ranges run from five minutes to 24 hours.

The subnet, when you ask.

Network Discovery scans the IPv4 subnet you choose, at a gentle, normal, or thorough pace. Hosts that answer show up in an inventory or on a topology map. You can check a short list of common ports, read advertised Bonjour services, and send a device straight to the watch list. VPN tunnels are listed and left out of the scan.

Ping Flow network discovery in topology view. This Mac and the devices that answered are drawn on the local subnet, with latency and a legend for shared-subnet links.

Results stay on the Mac.

Pings go to the hosts you add. A scan goes to the subnet you start. Neither is sent to Mactility. Location is used only if you allow it, and only so macOS can show the Wi-Fi name and access point in Diagnostics.

Diagnostics

Alongside the ping: Wi-Fi RSSI, noise, SNR, transmit rate, channel, and network events
Ranges: 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, or 24 hours

Local network: Used to discover devices and browse advertised services
Location: Optional. Used only so macOS can show the Wi-Fi name and access point. Pings do not need it.

Questions

Which versions of macOS?

macOS 26.6 or later.

How do I receive the app?

Lemon Squeezy emails the download and a license key as soon as the payment is complete. Open Ping Flow and enter that key. It activates this Mac.

Does Ping Flow need an account?

No account. Enter the license key from the receipt, then add hosts. The measurements stay on the Mac.

Where do the probes go?

To the hosts you add. A discovery scan also reaches the subnet you choose, and only when you start it. The results stay on that Mac and are not sent to Mactility.

Does it use my location?

Only if you allow it. macOS requires location access before an app can show the Wi-Fi network name and access point in Diagnostics. The pings themselves do not need it. Leave location off and the name stays hidden.

Does Diagnostics tell me what broke?

It lines the replies up with Wi-Fi telemetry and network events, then labels the incident. The app treats that label as a clue, not a cause.

What if I want a refund?
