Net Speed Indicator with Tools

See exactly how fast your connection is, right now, without opening anything.

NetPulse puts your live download and upload speed in the status bar and keeps it there. Tap once and you get a full network toolkit: a multi-stream speed test, a Wi-Fi scanner that alerts you when an open network appears, Wi-Fi password recovery from QR codes, and the diagnostic tools that normally need a laptop.

★ INTERNET SPEED METER

• Live download and upload speed in your status bar

• Ongoing notification with both rates and session totals

• Draggable floating bubble that stays on top of any app

• Four icon styles: download, upload, combined, or both stacked

• Pauses while your screen is off, so it barely touches your battery

• Reads the system's own traffic counters — no packet capture, no drain

★ SPEED TEST

• Six parallel streams, the way a real speed test measures

• Download, upload, latency and jitter

• TCP slow start excluded, so slow lines are not under-reported

• Shows the edge server, your public IP and your network operator

• Saved history, so you can prove a connection is getting worse

★ FIND OPEN WI-FI

• Scans in the background for networks with no password

• Vibrates and chimes the moment it finds one

• Tells genuinely open networks apart from WPA3 Enhanced Open

• Signal strength, band, channel and estimated speed for each

• A red notification while scanning, stoppable in one tap

★ WI-FI PASSWORD RECOVERY

• Scan a Wi-Fi QR code with the camera, or import a screenshot

• Recovers the network name and password from the code

• Reads saved networks directly on rooted devices

• Handles passwords containing symbols that break other scanners

★ NETWORK INFORMATION

• Wi-Fi: SSID, BSSID, signal, band, channel, Wi-Fi 6/7, security, DHCP

• Mobile: operator, 5G/4G bands, signal in dBm, cell ID, TAC and PCI

• SIM: carrier, MCC/MNC, eSIM, dual-SIM, per-slot state

• Public IP with operator and location, plus every local interface

★ NETWORK TOOLS

• Ping with per-packet times, loss and jitter

• Traceroute showing every router on the path

• DNS lookup that compares your resolver against a public one

• Port scanner with named services

• LAN scanner that finds every device on your Wi-Fi

• API console for sending HTTP requests and reading the response

★ DATA USAGE

• Per-app totals, split by Wi-Fi and mobile

• Today, 7 days, 30 days, this month or the past year

• Find the app quietly eating your allowance

★ CONNECTION INSPECTOR

• See every domain your apps look up

• Export a PCAP file and open it in Wireshark

• The tunnel stays on your device — nothing is sent to any server

★ BUILT TO BE SMALL

Under 3 MB. No analytics, no tracking, no account, no sign-up. The only requests it makes are the speed test and the IP lookup, and only when you ask for them.

★ WHO IT IS FOR

• Anyone on a limited data plan who wants a bandwidth monitor they can trust

• Anyone whose Wi-Fi "works" but feels slow, and wants to know whether it is the router or the uplink

• Travellers looking for a free hotspot in an airport, café or hotel

• Anyone comparing 5G and 4G signal strength between carriers or locations

• Developers and IT people who want ping, traceroute and a LAN scanner on the phone already in their pocket

Most of it works offline. The speed test and the IP lookup need a connection by their nature; the status bar meter, the Wi-Fi scanner, the password scanner, ping, the LAN scanner and your data usage history do not.

Works on Android 7.0 and later. Every permission is optional except notifications, and each one costs exactly one feature if you decline it — the app explains what each is for before asking.
