## Features

- **Network Name in Menu**
Show your connected Wi-Fi name directly in the menu bar dropdown and use it as the dynamic menu label.
> macOS requires Location Services permission to access the Wi-Fi SSID, as intended by Apple, since network identifiers are protected under system privacy controls to ensure user privacy and security.
>
> This feature is turned off by default and is only enabled if you choose to allow it, keeping full control in your hands at all times.
>
> If you grant access, **Online Indicator** uses your location solely to read the name of your connected Wi-Fi network. Your location never leaves your device and is neither stored nor shared.

- **Keyboard Shortcuts**
Toggle and manage your network instantly with keyboard shortcuts for faster, seamless control.
