Byter is a Mac menu bar app for separately tracking data usage for each Wi-Fi network, phone hotspot and wired connection.
Byter ranks 10th for the day on Product Hunt with 74 votes.
Byter currently supports Mac only, with a Windows version planned.
Byter tracks traffic separately by Wi-Fi network SSID, whereas operating systems usually aggregate by network interface.
Byter promises that all data stays on the local device, with no account system and no ads.
Byter provides a real-time network speed display and a one-click speed test.
Byter's usage charts cover multiple time granularities such as day, year and up to year.
Byter supports 11 languages.
Byter uses a local-first architecture: all usage data is written to a local database (such as SQLite) and is not uploaded to the cloud.
