Speed bar - Global network speed floating window, real-time monitoring system network upload/download speed and traffic usage. design concept: Simple and elegant interface with simple operation, design a simple but not simple real-time traffic monitoring APP. 1. About why I want to make "Speed Bar"? Because the monthly data package will exceed a lot, it is very troublesome. I really want to know where my data is spent and which apps will consume a lot of my data. Through the "speed bar", you can check the current network speed consumption in real time, which is very convenient for my daily backtracking. I also hope that more users can use it together. 2. How to use it? Download the APP, open the APP and click the "Start Real-time Floating" button to use the real-time network speed detection. 3. How to calculate the data? It is calculated by the data obtained from the ifaddrs network card information, and the accuracy of the data depends on the feedback from the base station. If the environment of the mobile phone changes, the data may change. 4. How to levitate? Click the "Start real-time suspension" button on the home page to exit the APP for real-time viewing. The floating window supports sliding to hide, click to open the App and other functions. 5. How to clear statistics? Click the "Reset Traffic Total" button on the homepage to clear the current total and restart the calculation. It is convenient to record any moment you want to count at any time. 6. How to measure the network speed? Click the "Detect Network Delay" button on the homepage to measure the network speed and view the specific data. The speed test results support sharing. 7. How to use widgets? The current version does not plan to add the widget function, but we will launch the widget function soon, you can look forward to it. 8. About privacy We care about your privacy very much, and we guarantee this through actions (not just verbal promises): network data is only used for APP algorithm calculation rate and speed measurement, and we will not collect any information from you. 9. About us If you have good ideas and suggestions, you can leave a message through the APP comments, and I will always pay attention to your ideas and suggestions.

KEY FEATURES Notes — Apple Notes-style organization, with plain Markdown content: • Hierarchical tags (work/meeting/2026Q1) • iCloud sync across devices • Share from Apple Notes and we'll auto-convert formatting to Markdown — bold, italic, headings, lists, and checklists are preserved.

Dedicated Markdown editing: • Keyboard accessory bar: headings, bold, italic, lists, tasks, quotes, links, images • Hardware keyboard shortcuts: ⌘B (bold) / ⌘I (italic) / ⌘K (link) / ⌘E (code) / ⌘1-6 (headings) • Smart list continuation: pressing Enter in a list line auto-continues; pressing Enter on an empty item exits the list • Paste an image straight from the clipboard — we save it next to the .md file and insert a Markdown reference File compare — Visualize the differences between two files line-by-line, with added/removed/modified highlights.
