Maxed out
Everything you need, nothing you don't
Speedify is a Windows network bandwidth monitor purpose-built to be invisible until you need it — then perfectly readable at a glance.
Real-time monitoring
Live download and upload speeds polled every second, with an 8-sample sliding average
to smooth out spikes.
Adaptive units
Automatically switches between KB/s, Mbps, and Gbps so the display always shows the
most readable value.
Pill-shaped overlay
Borderless, transparent window with a smooth pill shape using Windows chroma-key
transparency — no ugly frame.
Always on top
Floats above all open windows so you always know your speed. Toggle it off any time
from the right-click menu.
Fully draggable
Click and drag the pill to any corner of your screen. Works across multi-monitor
setups.
Persistent position
Your preferred screen position is saved to
%APPDATA%\Speedify\config.json
and restored on next launch.Dynamic color tinting
The teal download and coral upload colors brighten as bandwidth increases — instant
visual feedback without numbers.
Featherweight
Pure Python + Tkinter. Runs as a daemon thread; negligible CPU and memory footprint
even on low-end hardware.
Right-click context menu
Toggle Always on Top, reset position to center, or close — all from a clean dark
context menu.
Simple to use on any Windows setup
No settings window, no system tray icon. Everything you need is a drag or right-click away.
