What is Pinggy for Mac

Pinggy is the easiest way to find out who is using your network at anytime.

For households or businesses , you can now control which devices are connected or disconnected to your network.

Be the chief of your own network!

Is your network slow? Find out who is using it.
Are your kids using your laptop? Just take a look at the Visor.
Is the computer of your coworker running? Pinggy will tell you.

Knowing what's happening in your network was never easier! With two scan modes:

The fastest mode, specially directed to people with no time to lose. In less than a minute, it will tell you nearly all the devices connected to your network*.
The slow mode, specially directed to people who like control. In only five minutes, you will find out 99.9% of the devices connected to your network.

Also a new safe mode will come in a future update for very poor signal networks.

Light, unintrusive, easy to use, customizable and with Growl support. Pinggy will use less than a 0.1 percent of your computer horse-power and needs very low memory capacity. It is also compatible with any Mac computer, from a Mini to a Pro. It will even work like a charm on an a Mac Air!

This item is just a network scanner. Like many that are available for free. I PAID for it because it says " you can now control which devices are connected or disconnected to your network." But YOU CAN'T. You can SEE which machines are connected, but you cannot CONTROL anything. It also says: "Is your network slow? Find out who is using it." And while you CAN see WHO is using your network, you cannot see what they are doing - if your network is slow, you cannot see which machines are hogging it. The description is VERY misleading. It over promises and under delivers. There are many free applications that do much more than this.
