NetSpeedTray

NetSpeedTray is a lightweight, open-source network monitoring tool designed for Windows. It displays real-time upload and download speeds directly on the Windows taskbar, blending seamlessly with the native Windows look and feel.

  • Optional speed history graph to visualize network usage over time.

  • Drag-and-drop positioning on the taskbar, with settings and position saved between sessions.

  • Configurable update frequency and a "smart" update rate that adjusts to network activity to reduce CPU usage when idle.

  • Auto-start with Windows support for convenience.

  • Portable version available for use without installation.

  • Simple right-click context menu for settings and exiting the app.
