I made this app to scratch an itch of mine caused by flakey ethernet connection through my dock. Fairly often my internet connection falls back to wifi instead of ethernet though my dock. There's no built-in menu bar icon I could find to show ethernet connection status and opening the network pane in system settings was tiresome. So I decided to make my first mac app!

Claude code wrote all the code, openai generated the app icon. I wrote a small golang program to take the 1024x1024 png from openai and resize/rename it to the expected iconset format and json file.

This was a fun experiment, I don't think there's ever been a time where people could so easily create native applications!

Crazy how many apps are presented with "...AI wrote all the code". What i time to be alive.
