Support

Launch PingBar and look for the colored dot and latency value in the menu bar. Left-click for connection details. Right-click for refresh, automatic monitoring, IP quality checks, launch at login and quit. No account is required.

The latency measures HTTPS round trips to Cloudflare, not ICMP ping or download speed. VPN status describes detected network interfaces and does not guarantee that traffic uses a VPN. IP quality is a heuristic, not a security, reputation or service-access guarantee.

If results are unavailable, check your internet connection, refresh, and allow time for third-party services to respond. You may disable IP quality checks in the right-click menu. Contact KID Studio support. Remove IP addresses and other private details before sending screenshots.

Privacy policy

PingBar is operated by KID Studio. It has no account system, advertising SDK, analytics SDK or developer-operated telemetry backend. Preferences are stored locally using macOS UserDefaults. Recent latency samples, network information and lookup caches are held in memory. Copy actions place selected details on the system clipboard; sharing that content is your choice.

Network requests and third parties

To measure connectivity and determine your public IP, PingBar sends HTTPS requests to www.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace. Geographic and provider details are requested from api.ip.sb, with ipapi.co as a fallback. These services see the request source IP and ordinary connection/request metadata and may return approximate IP-based location. PingBar does not request GPS or precise-location permission.

When IP quality checks are enabled, PingBar sends the public IP to rdap.org, which may direct requests to the relevant regional internet registry, and queries the Tor-node DNS list through Cloudflare DNS-over-HTTPS at cloudflare-dns.com. The DNS query encodes the queried public IP. You can turn these checks off in the right-click menu. Each service processes requests under its own privacy practices; KID Studio does not control its logs or retention.

Local IP addresses, interface names, VPN-interface status and system proxy settings are read for on-device display. PingBar does not upload these local-network details to KID Studio. It does not install a VPN or alter network routing. Opening external support links uses your browser; those websites process requests under their own policies.

We do not sell data or use it for advertising or tracking. Third-party request handling is necessary for the requested network diagnostics. Removing the app ends its requests; no server account needs deletion. For privacy questions, use KID Studio support.

使用帮助与隐私说明

PingBar 是免费的 macOS 菜单栏网络工具,界面目前为简体中文。左键展开详情,右键刷新、开关自动监测或 IP 质量评分、设置开机启动及退出。延迟为 Cloudflare HTTPS 往返时间;评分仅供参考,不保证 IP 安全或特定服务可用。

应用没有账号、广告或统计 SDK,不向开发者自建服务器上传遥测。偏好保存在本机,延迟历史和查询缓存仅存于内存;复制功能写入系统剪贴板,由你决定是否分享。

连通性检查访问 Cloudflare;IP 地理信息查询访问 api.ip.sb,失败时使用 ipapi.co。第三方可接收请求来源 IP 和常规连接信息,并返回基于 IP 的粗略位置。应用不申请 GPS 或精确定位权限。

开启 IP 质量评分后,公网 IP 会发给 rdap.org 及其转向的互联网注册机构;应用还会通过 Cloudflare DNS-over-HTTPS 查询 Tor 节点名单,查询名称包含被检测 IP。可在右键菜单关闭评分。第三方按照各自政策处理和保留请求记录,开发者无法控制其日志。

内网 IP、网卡、VPN 接口与系统代理配置仅用于本机显示,不上传给 KID Studio。应用不创建 VPN 或修改路由,不售卖数据,也不用于广告追踪。删除应用后不再发起请求,无需注销服务器账号。支持与隐私问题请访问 KID Studio 技术支持。
