Illustration: the speed next to the clock and the dashboard graph.
A small program that shows your live download and upload speed right next to the Windows clock, like the well-known network meters, but free and multilingual.
It tracks your internet usage by day, week and month, and you can pick the network adapter to watch or let it choose automatically. It never connects to the internet: all your data stays on your PC.

FAQ
Does it use data or slow down my PC?
No. It reads the network adapter counters from Windows itself once a second, with very low CPU and memory use.
How do I uninstall it?
From Windows Settings > Apps like any program. For the portable edition just delete its folder.
Is the speed shown my plan speed?
No, it is the speed you are actually using right now. To measure your plan’s maximum, use a speed-test site with other downloads closed.
