An App That Shows Your Mac's Ethernet Connection Status

Ethernet Status is a tool that appends an icon to your Mac’s status bar, helping you seamlessly learn about your Ethernet’s connection status. This icon is similar to the icon the Mac has to indicate Wi-Fi status.

Simply Useful

On paper, Ethernet Status looks like an app that offers a feature most people would not even bother to have. But if you’re someone who frequently encounters problems with your Ethernet cable getting disconnected, you’ll understand the goodness this apps hold. As aforementioned, a simple icon is added to the status bar. There is a bonus feature via which you are offered interface name and IP address information in the dropdown menu.The tool supports many Ethernet interfaces. The status and change in Ethernet connectivity is constantly monitored and the icon is updated to reflect current status. Also, the tool indicates whether the Ethernet interface is active or not.

Lightweight

The tool is extremely lightweight and doesn’t hog your computer’s memory space. The optimization is done well too, which ensures your computer’s performance isn’t hit even marginally. The interface shows device information such as model and vendor. It also shows IPv6 and IPv4 addresses, and MAC addresses. It shows public IP address as well, which could be disabled in the settings (if not required).
