What’s new in version 1.1

This update brings support for IPv6. It also allows to show or hide hidden network adapters and shows the underlying shell commands if desired. Version 1.1 also remembers the selected tab, immediately applies a changed fetching interval, and more reliably recognizes network adapter hardware details. A new button makes copying the output easier.

New
  • IPv6 support.
  • Added option to show or hide hidden network adapters.
  • Added option to show the underlying shell commands.
  • Added option to the speed test to benchmark uplink and downlink separately.
  • Added Copy button to the output text field.
  • The app can move itself to the Applications folder if necessary.
Improved
  • Neo Network Utility retains the selected tab throughout app launches.
  • The Info tab better adapts to the window size.
  • Changing the fetching interval no longer requires closing and reopening the app.
  • Improved hardware detail detection no longer relies on predefined lists of known adapters.
  • When Wi-Fi is disabled, the Info tab shows the transmission speed as "N/A".
  • The built-in help supports dark mode.
  • Improved English and German localizations.
Fixed
  • Neo Network Utility could crash if being left idle for a very long time. Fixed.
  • The network adapter picker listed the BSD name twice for some adapters. Fixed.
  • Dynamic window titles didn't behave properly on macOS Ventura. Fixed.
  • The output text field could show an insertion caret. Fixed.
  • In some occastions, pressing, e.g., the Enter key could stop an active task in another tab of the same window.
  • Help > Release Notes didn't work properly on macOS Ventura. Fixed.
  • When contacting our support, the email subject didn't correctly list the processor platform if run via Rosetta on an ARM Mac. Fixed.

"Neo Network Utility" is the new name for this utility. And yet, when you download it, the app is just "Network Utility". So what's with the "Neo"? It turns out that coding credit is given to Neo A. Volkmann at DEVONtechnologies. And yes, it's essentially an updated clone of Apple's old Network Utility. The most useful ADDITION is a Speed test tab. Thank you.

Unable to leave a review unless I specify something that needs to be improved--but there is nothing I can find that needs improvement. Works great. Thank you.

Looks & feels like the old, retired Apple Network Utility...
