Why TrueSignal

Built for people who need to know.

🎯

Ping-based accuracy

Uses live pings to measure real-world latency — not signal strength bars which can be completely misleading.

🟢

Instant visual status

Green, yellow, or red. Know your connection state at a glance without reading numbers or decoding icons.

📊

24-hour history

See min, max, average latency and uptime percentage over the last 24 hours. Spot patterns in your connection.

🔔

Smart alerts

Get notified the moment your connection drops or slows down — and when it recovers. Stay informed without watching.

🗂️

System tray & widgets

Lives quietly in your system tray or home screen widget. Always visible, never in the way.

Adjustable check rate

Check every 2, 4, 10, or 30 seconds. Balance battery life against how quickly you need to know.

TrueSignal in the wild

Even next to the Duga radar,
the truth doesn't change.

Photographed at the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone — one of the most iconic antenna structures on Earth. Four bars. Slow connection. TrueSignal doesn't lie.

Slow Connection
📍 Chornobyl Exclusion Zone

Simple. Honest. Instant.

TrueSignal pings a reliable server every few seconds and measures the round-trip time. Under 150ms is green. Under 500ms is yellow. Anything else is red. No algorithms, no guessing — just the truth.

The 24-hour range graph shows you the shape of your connection over time — so you can tell your ISP exactly when and how bad it gets.

Independent developer and technologist. TrueSignal was built out of frustration with misleading signal bars — I couldn't find a tool to tell me the truth, so I built it.
