Real reachability
Up? checks the path out, not just the radio link. It distinguishes no network, DNS failure, and captive-portal limbo.
Native Mac menu-bar internet status
Always know if your internet actually works.
Your Mac's Wi-Fi icon says connected while DNS is dead, the cafe portal blocks every app, or the router is up with no line out. Up? shows the truth in one dot.

What the dot knows
Connected is not good enough.
Up? watches the failure states that waste your time: local network, DNS, captive portal, and real internet reachability.
Always glanceable
The answer sits where your eyes already go on a Mac. One dot, always visible, zero clicks to read.
Native and light
A menu-bar utility should disappear until it matters. Up? is built to sip CPU and battery while checking every few seconds.
Why it converts
The question comes up when work is already stuck.
- Before Zoom freezes, you know whether the connection is already failing.
- Before a build hangs, you can rule out DNS and the network path.
- Before toggling Wi-Fi again, you see whether the router or the line is down.
- After a drop, you have the last hour of evidence instead of a vague memory.
Get Up?
$9 to stop guessing.
A native Mac menu-bar app for remote workers and developers who need to know if it is them, the app, DNS, the portal, or the internet.
