WiFi Signal
WiFi Signal is a macOS menu bar utility that monitors your current Wi‑Fi connection with live signal, channel, rate, and status details.
What is WiFi Signal?
WiFi Signal is a native macOS utility for monitoring the status and quality of your current Wi‑Fi connection. It is designed for Mac users who want more detail than the standard Wi‑Fi menu, including people troubleshooting weak coverage, checking roaming behavior, or watching link quality while they move around a home, office, or campus. The app shows live information such as signal strength, channel details, PHY rates, and overall connection quality from the menu bar. It also supports a customizable status display, so you can choose which connection details stay visible at a glance. For longer-term troubleshooting, WiFi Signal can log connection changes and send notifications when your Mac joins, disconnects, roams to another access point, or drops below selected thresholds. WiFi Signal is published by Intuitibits LLC and fits best as a focused Wi‑Fi monitoring and troubleshooting helper for macOS.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
WiFi Signal is legitimate Wi‑Fi monitoring software for macOS. Access to local network and location-related Wi‑Fi details can be normal for this type of app because macOS uses those permissions to expose connection information such as nearby network and access point data. The app may run from the menu bar and send connection notifications, which is expected behavior for its purpose. Keep it updated, and only grant the permissions needed for the monitoring features you use.
Recommendation: Keep WiFi Signal if you actively monitor Wi‑Fi quality, troubleshoot coverage, or want richer connection details in the menu bar. If you no longer use its status display, alerts, or logs, you can remove it without affecting macOS beyond losing those extra Wi‑Fi monitoring features.
