Main View

Opening the main window

PeakHour’s main window is your primary view into network activity. There are two ways to open it:

From the menu bar. Click the PeakHour menu bar item. The exact information shown there depends on which Menu Bar Items you have configured in Settings → Menu Bar.

From the Dock. Click PeakHour’s Dock icon if it’s enabled. The Dock icon is on by default — toggle it from Settings → Dashboard.

Overview

The main window stacks four sections vertically:

• Usage Monitor — tracks data used and remaining against your billing cycle quota. Only visible when Usage Monitoring is enabled.
• Internet Dashboard — a single-view summary of your connection’s health from your Mac out to the internet.
• Bandwidth Monitors — real-time throughput graphs for each device or interface you’ve configured.
• Latency Monitors — round-trip latency, jitter, and packet loss for hosts on the internet.
