About
Kilobat gathers Mac networking into one menu bar app. See which apps use data and set rules for them, find out why a connection is slow or failing, inspect nearby Wi-Fi networks and manage hotspot use. It can also keep the Mac awake while AI agents run, and ships a free, open-source CLI and MCP server so agents can use the same tools. Needs macOS 14 or later.
