Six ways to look at your data

Start with the widget. Open it up when you want the full picture, shrink it when you just want a glance. Everything below is a real screenshot from a working PC or phone.

01 · PC

Widget

The small window that sits on your desktop. Your speed right now, the last hour, and your allowance as a counted bar.

  • Speed, the last 5 minutes, 15 minutes and hour
  • The last 60 minutes, one bar per minute
  • Top apps right now, with an End button

Dashboard

The whole day on one screen. How much you have used, how much is left, and how long until it starts again.

  • Used since reset, data left, time to reset
  • The last 24 hours, with the reset marked
  • Top apps, each with an End button
Dashboard view: 1.65 GB used since reset, 1.35 GB left today, the last 24 hours and the top apps with End buttons
03 · PC

Totals

Pick one app, or the whole PC, and see what it used. Since the reset, over the last day, or across a week.

  • Each day as a bar, so one heavy day stands out
  • Every app ranked, with its share
  • Click an app in the list to look closer
Totals view: one app's use since reset, each day of the last week, and all apps ranked

Simple

One big number: what is left today. Under it, whoever is using data right now, and a button to stop it.

  • Plain words, no charts
  • A Stop button next to each app
  • When your day starts again
Simple view: 1.34 GB left of your 3.0 GB today, with the apps using data now and Stop buttons
05 · PC

Bar

One thin line on the edge of your screen. Percent used, data left and your speed, always in view.

  • Hover for the full figures
  • An exclamation mark when something needs attention
  • Right-click for the other views and settings
Bar view: 56% used, 1.33 GB left and the current speed on one thin line

On your phone

Your data left today in one big number, the apps using it right now, and a quick way to stop the ones you can.

  • The same views as the PC: Simple, Dashboard, Totals and Apps
  • Three looks like the PC: E-ink, E-ink inverted or colour
  • A safe-to-stop hint beside each app
  • Warnings at 50, 75, 90 and 100%
  • The logo in your top bar fills up like a gauge as the day's data is used

The Android app is in early testing. These are real screenshots from a phone, with real numbers.

How it works

Crews on offshore installations often share a small daily allowance, for example 3 GB per 24 hours that starts again at 06:00. Updaters, backups and auto-downloads quietly use it up. NETKEEPER keeps watch.

See what you used

Your data since the daily reset, against your own limit.

See which apps

A simple list of the apps that used the data, and when. Just MB and GB.

Always in view

Your usage, your speed right now and the apps using data are always on screen, updating as you go.

Warned on top

Extra alerts at 50%, 75%, 90% and 100% of your day, and when one app suddenly pulls a lot.

Quiet by design

No account, no tracking. Status is never shown by colour alone.

Per-app figures on Windows need NETKEEPER to run as administrator.

Share NETKEEPER

Pass it to the person next to you. When everyone shares one small allowance, the best way is the one that uses none of it.
