Pingly is a small, fast network tool for people who want to know what their connection is actually doing. Type in a host or IP, watch the ICMP replies come back in real time, and keep a running score on your Internet quality. If you chase latency for work, hunt down lag before a match, or just have a Wi-Fi connection you don't trust, Pingly gives you the real numbers as they happen. PING ANY HOST • Real ICMP echo requests, the same kind the ping command sends • A live reply stream with sequence number, packet size and round-trip time • Running stats: sent, received, lost, loss %, min, avg, max and jitter • Quick-pick hosts, and switching targets starts a fresh session • Color-coded latency, so a slow reply is easy to spot INTERNET QUALITY MONITOR • A running 0-100 connection score with a letter grade from A+ to F • A live breakdown of latency, jitter, packet loss and stability • A scrolling signal graph and a one-line, plain-English read on how things look • Pause, resume, or switch targets whenever you want SONAR · AUDIBLE PING • A tone for every reply, pitched by round-trip time - fast replies ring high, slow ones drop low • A healthy connection sounds like a steady, high chime, so a latency spike is a note you can hear fall • Timeouts and dropped packets get their own distinct downward thud • A live tone-bar strip that scrolls along with the stream • Four voices to choose from sine, triangle, square or pluck • Leave it running with the screen off; it respects the mute switch SESSION HISTORY • Every ping run is saved automatically • A latency chart and full stats for each one • Save the hosts you use most for one-tap pinging • Recent sessions with small sparklines so you can scan them fast SETTINGS • Set the ping interval, packet size and timeout • System, Light or Dark appearance • Monospaced, tabular numbers that hold steady as they update PRIVACY • No account, no ads • Nothing leaves your phone. Pingly only pings the hosts you point it at. That's the whole app. It just tells you how your connection is doing.
