WiAwareKnow before your
call breaks.
WiAware lives in your menu bar and tells you, in plain words, whether your connection is good for a call. It warns you before it lets you down, and says what went wrong.
Every feature free for 14 days. No account, no subscription.
One mark. One sentence.
WiAware checks your WiFi, your router and the internet every half minute, and every few seconds while you're on a call.
The mark tells you
A check whose wave is whole when you're good for calls, broken when calls may stutter, and gone to a dot when they won't work. The shape says it, not just the color.
The menu says why
Open it and see where the problem is: your WiFi, your router or the internet. Press Test for a closer look, in call terms.
Alerts come first
Before a call in your calendar, and during one, WiAware warns you while there's still time to move closer to the router or plug in.
Made for people on calls.
Where the problem is, not just that there is one.
The menu draws the path from your WiFi to your router to the internet, and marks the part that's slow. "Calls may stutter" comes with the reason and what to do about it.
- Latency, jitter, loss and signal, in plain words
- Test now, or a Full Test with macOS's own speed test
- Spots sign-in pages and DNS that stopped answering
Your meetings, one click from Join.
Turn on your calendar and the next call waits in the menu with a Join button. Five minutes before, WiAware checks your connection and tells you if it isn't ready.
- Zoom, Teams, Meet and more, opened in the app or your browser
- Reminders that say whether your connection is ready
- Your events stay on your Mac
Meeting Mode watches closer while you're on a call.
It comes on by itself when a call starts, checks every few seconds, and warns sooner. When another app fills your upload, WiAware names it before the call stutters.
- Notices calls that aren't in your calendar, like a Slack huddle
- A summary after each call, with a report to share with IT
- Preferred networks: told when a better one is in range
A week of history, kept on your Mac.
Every drop, network change and call for 7 days, with a reliability rating for each network and the data it used. Export it as CSV when IT asks.
- Name your access points: "Upstairs", "Office"
- Today's drops, downtime and calls at a glance
- Never uploaded, never shared
What it sees stays on your Mac.
WiAware is built to know as little about you as possible.
No account, no analytics
Nothing about you or your network is uploaded. Only your license key is checked, once a week.
No location tracking
macOS shares WiFi names only with apps that have Location access. That's all WiAware uses it for.
Never listens or watches
It only knows that a microphone or camera is in use, so it can tell a call has started.
Connects only to do its job
To check your connection, your license and for updates. The privacy page lists every host.
Pay once. Use it on your Macs.
Try every feature for 14 days. Buy a license if WiAware earns its place in your menu bar.
- Every feature, no subscription
- Use it on up to 2 of your Macs
- Your license key by email, minutes after you buy
- Updates arrive inside the app
- 14-day refund, no questions asked
Prices in US dollars. Tax is worked out at checkout by Dodo Payments, our reseller, which handles the payment and your receipt.
Good to know.
What happens after the trial?
WiAware keeps checking your connection, so the mark and Test still work. A license brings back alerts, Meeting Mode, your meetings and the Timeline.
Why does it ask for Location access?
macOS only tells an app the name of your WiFi network if it has Location access. WiAware uses it for that and never stores your location. You can say no: signal and connection checks work without it.
Why does it ask for Local Network access?
macOS needs your permission before an app can reach your router. WiAware uses it only to check whether the router is the slow part.
Does it work with a VPN, or on Ethernet?
Yes to both. With a VPN on, WiAware still checks the path your traffic takes. On Ethernet it checks the router and the internet and leaves the WiFi alone.
Can I move my license to a new Mac?
Yes. One key works on 2 Macs. To free a slot, open Settings → License on the old Mac and click Remove License.
How do I report a bug or suggest an idea?
Open Settings → Help and Feedback in WiAware. Your report opens in your own mail app, so you see every word before it's sent. Or write to [email protected].
