Skeebus For Mac

Whether you have dynamic IP address or frequently use a VPN service, keeping track of your connection data can be difficult.

Skeebus is a very simple application that can come to your aid, as it displays your current public IP address in your menu bar, along with the country flag. Moreover, it provides you with details about your ISP, as well your current address or the location of the server your connection is being routed through.

More and more people are turning to VPN clients to ensure the security of their private data and to hide their location, but routing your connection through a remote server can make it difficult to keep track of your IP address, which you may have need of for various purposes.

Similarly, depending on the ISP, your public IP address may change every time you connect to the Internet. It may sometimes be necessary to be able to provide this data on a moment’s notice, and this is where Skeebus can help you out.

Skeebus automatically updates the displayed data whenever the state of your connection changes, but you can also refresh it manually at any time. This information is obtained from GeoIP services.

If you click the app’s menu bar icon, you can view your exact address and ISP details or the location of the server your VPN client is routing the connection through.

Moreover, Skeebus provides exact geographic coordinates, and can plot the location on a map.

While the app is designed to integrate with both the traditional and dark menu bar modes, it would have been great if more in-depth personalization were possible. For example, some users may want to remove the country flag or change the font used to display the provided information.

To sum up, Skeebus is a straightforward tool that can be very useful to those who want to view their current public IP address in the OS X menu bar.
