technical examples / current app contracts
What the current RTTy surfaces actually show.
These examples use generic host identity and synthetic values. Labels, layouts, defaults, and chart compatibility follow the current macOS implementation. Every visual follows the effective website theme.
macOS / default status item
Transfer stacked beside a larger latency readout
The default status item stacks upload above download in one compact, fixed-width column, with average latency shown larger to its right, for example ↑ 547 Kbps / ↓ 3.7 Mbps beside 15 ms. The monospaced slot is reserved so changing units do not move neighboring menu-bar items.
macOS / dashboard charts
Different data shapes keep different chart semantics
Bandwidth is a paired download/upload series, so it supports Opposing Area and Mirrored Bars. Overall latency supports Heatmap and line views. Application Health is a separately aggregated series for enabled application checks.
macOS / settings
Every group on one scrolling page
Settings on one scrolling page (iCloud & Sync with status first, Look, Menu Bar, Alerts, What to monitor, How often, History & Export, Advanced) with a jump list. Choosing a group in the jump list scrolls to it instead of switching panes.

scope note
iOS is local-first; Nearby is optional
The current mobile build performs bounded local path and service probes and retains local health history while the app is active. A paired Mac can add authenticated Nearby snapshots, but it is not required for the mobile app to produce observations. Optional private iCloud sync can carry settings and a per-device health projection between your own devices; it is off until you enable it. This page keeps the detailed visual examples on the broader macOS implementation.
