Read full description

pingable is a fast, simple network monitor that helps you see whether a host is alive in real time. Enter an IP address, hostname, or FQDN and pingable continuously checks connectivity while visualizing responses as a live heartbeat-style graph. When packets drop, the interface clearly highlights the outage and records recovered drop durations so you can spot instability at a glance. Features: - Live ping monitoring - Support for IP addresses, hostnames, and FQDNs - Heartbeat-style latency graph - Clear drop detection and recovered drop history - Live Activity support - Public IP display - Dark terminal-inspired design pingable is designed for quick checks, troubleshooting, and keeping an eye on unstable connections without digging through terminal output.
