The app does not show up in the menu bar

macOS hides menu bar apps when there is no space left in the menu bar. This is a common problem on MacBooks with a notch. Try quitting some other menu bar apps to free up space. If this does not solve it, try quitting Bartender if you have it installed.

How is it different from just checking whether the Wi-Fi is connected?

A Wi-Fi connection only means you’re connected to a network. The app verifies internet access by pinging apple.com and cloudflare.com, ensuring you’re truly online.

The app shows that I’m offline even though I’m not

• Ensure network requests from the app to apple.com and cloudflare.com are not blocked. These domains are used to verify your online status.

How can I run this only when not connected to certain networks?

Use the Shortery app. Create a shortcut in the Shortcuts app to launch and quit this app. Then, set up a “Wi-Fi” trigger in Shortery to run the shortcut based on your Wi-Fi connection status. This allows the app to launch or quit when connecting to or disconnecting from specific Wi-Fi networks.
