Your connection, at a glance
You shouldn't have to stare at a screen to know your internet is working. PingZilla watches your connection and tells you when something needs attention.
Know before it matters
Get notified the moment your connection drops or your VPN disconnects. No terminal to check, no dashboard to watch.
Stay in your call
Mid-meeting and things feel laggy? A glance at your menu bar tells you everything. No switching windows, no interrupting your flow.
Always-on, zero effort
PingZilla runs quietly in your menu bar. It monitors your connection in the background so you never have to remember to check.
Trends, not just numbers
See your latency history at a glance — min, max, average. Spot patterns before they become problems.
Watch what matters to you
Monitor multiple sites simultaneously. Your API, your e-commerce store, your client's server — all from one place.
Read the vibe, not the data
Mood icons show your connection health instantly. Green and happy? You're good. Red and angry? Time to troubleshoot.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
