Stop debugging the wrong layer
If the dot is green, move on to the app, VPN, or service. If it is red, you know the network path is the problem before you waste time toggling Wi-Fi.
Is my internet down?
When a call freezes, a deploy hangs, or a page spins forever, the expensive part is guessing. Up? keeps a live answer in the Mac menu bar and a one-hour timeline behind the click, so internet trouble becomes a fact you can prove instead of a feeling.
$9 once. Lifetime updates. No subscription.
Up? keeps the diagnosis short enough to read under pressure. The labeled dot is the answer. The one-hour timeline is the recent evidence.
If the dot is green, move on to the app, VPN, or service. If it is red, you know the network path is the problem before you waste time toggling Wi-Fi.
Click Up? to see the recent drops and recoveries. It turns it dropped again into a timestamped trail you can show an ISP, coworker, or future you.
Up? checks frequently enough to catch short dropouts, while staying lightweight enough to live in the menu bar all day.
Up? is not a speed test, bandwidth dashboard, or long-term ISP reporting suite. It answers the immediate reachability question.
Check whether the internet path is reachable rather than relying on the Wi-Fi icon. Up? keeps that answer in the menu bar and distinguishes DNS and captive-portal failures from a full offline state.
Compare the call problem with Up?'s current state and recent timeline. A matching offline or DNS event gives you a concrete network lead; a continuously online state tells you to investigate the app, service, or VPN next.
No. The timeline records reachability changes on your Mac. It can show when the internet path failed, but it does not by itself prove which provider or device caused the failure.
