Multi-protocol network health monitor with a real-time terminal UI.

Probes targets across 6 protocols simultaneously and displays results in an interactive TUI. Also runs as an HTTP API server or a native macOS menu bar app.

• Interactive TUI -- color-coded results: ✓ ok, ✗ blocked, ● timeout, ? error
• Statistics -- check count, uptime %, RTT min/max/avg
• Geolocation -- city, country, IP via ipinfo.io
• HTTP API server mode -- --serve on localhost:19090
• Native macOS menu bar app -- with widget (see NetprobeApp/)
• YAML config file -- ~/.netprobe.yaml

Default targets: google.com, youtube.com, github.com, telegram.org, x.com, whatsapp.com, signal.org, wikipedia.org, reddit.com, chatgpt.com, claude.ai, gemini.google.com, huggingface.co, perplexity.ai
