Edit: Program has been updated, and now works very well! Changed my review to positive/5 stars.
Original review: Doesn't display correctly on Windows 11 touch screen devices. The author hasn't updated since 2022, and none of the issues are being addressed on GitHub, so it seems to be abandoned. It's too bad, I loved this little program.

The latest version now is 2025 Feb 10 and already addressed the touch-problem.
I was definitely surprised to find out this program had received an update after so many years... the touch screen problem I described before is now gone and it works well. This is my favorite monitoring tool for windows!
I'm still about to trying out. My favourite so far is Net Meter (Hoo Technologies) from ages ago: the rare thing in that is the animated system tray icon which shows the up and down activity clearly with the right color settings. Also has a good and clear database and a pop-up animated diagram. You can turn it quite pretty with opacity and such.
A great alternative to NetSpeedMonitor if you just want to see the numbers on the taskbar. Very customizable. Just what I needed.
Portable, no need to install. Works without any issues on Windows 11 (22631.3880). Free and open source, up on GitHub.
Some options should be enabled in reverse by default though. Once you figure the desirable settings out, you'll be astonished by how much you needed this neat tool.
Much better speed monitoring with simple settings and still fully capable app
Was looking for a Win11 alternative for XMeters and this is decent enough
This is a joke, right?
This is an app by a Chinese developer.
You are going to use an app by a Chinese dev to monitor your network data, in and out?
Might as well post all your passwords and email id's alongside, online.
Wow! You DO know that Cisco, HP, Microsoft etc ALL have hidden backdoors and spyware. Basically every US IT product exported. Not to mention how many BIG TECH firms have been caught doing illegal stuff.
Here's a starter site for you, but I'm sure you can do your own research. https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/nsa-reportedly-installing-spyware-on-us-made-hardware/
Well, it is also an Open Source app. So if you don't trust the binary releases, just look at the source code and if you find nothing malicious in it, just compile it yourself...
You haven't figured out what it means for an App to be Open Source mate. I suggest to first understand this before making a fool of yourself. In simpler terms Open Source = Transparency . Nothing the app can do can be done without being 100% visible and transparent, so if they were collecting your data you will see it clearly.
Biased comment.
Neat functionality in a small form factor, some people might require more info but I'm guessing this tool is meant as a general indicator of traffic, not so much the database of all the network connections ever made and what ports time and packagesize they used.
Very light-weight tool, with much better functions and look & feel than some of the paid tools like Networx. Oh, and did I mention free & open source, too?!
