Install in ten seconds: open the zip → double-click AdeeboMeter.exe → Install. It installs just for you — no administrator rights — and starts in the bottom-right corner of your screen.
Update: run the new exe and choose Update; your settings come along. Remove: Settings › Apps › AdeeboMeter.

Windows may show "Windows protected your PC" because AdeeboMeter isn't code-signed yet. Choose More info → Run anyway.

Requirements: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), .NET Framework 4.8 (built into Windows). Optional: Wireshark for live capture and Find my switch port.

The first public version: a quiet Windows companion that tells you, in one glance, whether your PC, your Wi-Fi, your provider, DNS or the internet is the problem — what to do about it, and the whole story when you want it.

Highlights

• Corner widget — faded, click-through, folds into a small chip when a window covers the corner. One sentence verdict, five dots from your PC out to the internet.
• Engineer view (tray icon or Ctrl+Alt+A) — six sections: Overview, Monitor, Investigate, Network story, Time machine, Learn.
• Your Wi-Fi — band, channel and width, signal in dBm, roaming support, neighbouring networks on your channel, why Wi-Fi dropped. Your cable — speed, and the switch, port and VLAN you're plugged into (LLDP / CDP).
• Check a destination — DNS, route, ping, TCP, TLS, HTTP, path MTU and a trace, then the path story: who carries your traffic, NAT, tunnels, firewalls and load balancing.
• Live capture (with Wireshark) — what your traffic is made of, bytes per app, Teams call quality, rogue DHCP.
• Plain English everywhere — hover anything with a ? cursor; 160 terms and 72 programs explained.
• Light by design — Penny / Balanced / Engineer presets; about half a percent of one CPU core in the background.

Find your way

• Six sections: Overview · Monitor · Investigate · Network story · Time machine · Learn, each with its own pages underneath - room to grow.
• Overview start page: the verdict, router / internet / DNS / traffic right now, what needs attention, today, and where everything lives.
• Investigate a problem: "The internet is slow", "A website or app won't open", "Calls freeze or sound robotic", "I keep disconnecting" - each ends with Finding · What I observed · Not established · Next test.
• Evidence labels on every finding: measured · Windows-reported · seen in packets · inferred · unavailable.
• Details switch (header): raw values, sources and the exact time each was read.
• Replay (Time machine): drag through any day of history - the five dots, the numbers against the day's middle value, and what changed 15 minutes either side; jump to the next problem.
• Corner widget: visibility 20-100 %, and a bigger widget (tray menu or Settings).

Watch smarter

• History on by default (3 days; Settings 1-90, rolling delete), one line a minute with peaks, finished days compressed (~15 KB a day).
• What changed: the week at a glance (7 days x 24 hours), data usage today / this month per network with an optional monthly cap, what's normal on this network, latency under load (bufferbloat), after-call summaries, suggestions and new devices.
• Alerts only when there's something to do (Wi-Fi keeps dropping, internet gone, slower than usual, a suspicious new program, a new device, cap at 80%); quiet hours 22-07; silent while you present or play full screen.
• Slower than usual for this network - learns what's normal for each network (told apart by the router's hardware address, so it works with location off).
• Your Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi health score that works with location off (router link, link speed, adapter errors, drops), Wi-Fi advisor (quieter channel, better band, sticky access point, Windows' Wi-Fi power saving), look-alike networks (evil twin), and the walk test.
• Watch and suggest: first-time internet use, programs in Downloads / Temp or without a publisher, night-time connections, big unexpected uploads - with how to block it. Never blocks.
• HTTPS inspection: Check a destination says when a certificate was re-signed by a root that isn't on Microsoft's public list (a company proxy - or a man in the middle).
• New devices on your network, from the ARP table (nothing scanned).
• Meeting replay: one sentence after each Teams call about what went wrong on the network. Numbers in memory only; nothing about the call is saved.
• Health tools you press: pre-call check, DNS speed test, VPN map (split tunnel), and "What can AdeeboMeter see here?" (what IT allows on this PC).
• Watch a pinned destination all day (opt-in): one ping every 30 s, graphed.
• Local crash note with a "report this" button that opens a pre-filled GitHub issue (no user names or folders).
• Check for updates in About opens the website, which compares versions - the app itself never checks.
• Settings export / import.

Understand everything

• Network story: follow any app (the busiest is picked for you) or a site through seven boxes - App → Windows → Wi-Fi / Cable → Router → Provider → Internet → Server; click a box for what happens there (the routing table and "which route wins", packet sizes and MTU, how your PC got its addresses, the path); Time each step shows name · connect · lock · first byte.
• With Wireshark: the real handshake as a ladder, any packet explained layer by layer, "what my PC is saying" (protocols, IPv6, QUIC, LLMNR / NetBIOS / mDNS / SSDP chatter), call packet priority (DSCP).
• Teams & Office end to end: process families (with their WebView2 helpers), every connection labelled by role, "Teams fell back to TCP", how a Teams call and Outlook connect, "Why is Outlook slow?".
• Inside Windows: who started whom (process tree), how Windows starts (boot chain with live PIDs), inside each svchost, what starts with Windows and who added it, what a program is doing right now (CPU, memory, disk, connections, why it started), deep dives.
• Learn: 43 topics - start here (how apps use the internet), protocols, Windows, Teams and Office - each two lines, a picture and one "if it goes wrong" line, with "See it live on my PC" (Wireshark); Ctrl+K jumps to anything.

Install, update, remove

• One file installs itself: double-click AdeeboMeter.exe and choose Install, Update or Just run it from here. Per user (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\AdeeboMeter\<version>), no administrator rights, a Start menu entry and an entry in Settings > Apps; your settings and "Start with Windows" come along.
• Remove from Settings > Apps or the tray menu (Uninstall AdeeboMeter...) — folder, settings and history.
• Updates ask the running copy to step aside, then replace it; older versions are removed.
• Icon on the exe, the Start menu and Settings > Apps.
• Website with a download button, the Theory of Everything as slides, and a suggestion box: https://adeeb111.github.io/AdeeboMeter/

Privacy and security

• No cloud, no account, no telemetry, no auto-update; never opens a listening port (checked at every start).
• History, data usage and what's normal per network stay on this PC (3 days by default, 1-90); meeting replay keeps numbers in memory only.
• What it sends is listed in About with your current settings, and each item can be switched off.
• No administrator rights, no shell; Windows tools by full System32 path; TLS 1.2 / 1.3 with Windows' certificate checks; builds clean against Microsoft's .NET security and quality analyzers with every rule on.

Known limitations

• Not code-signed yet: SmartScreen asks once (More info > Run anyway).
• No AS numbers / BGP data (would need an internet service); traces use ICMP (TCP/UDP traces need admin).
• Wi-Fi name, signal and neighbours on Windows 11 need Location allowed for desktop apps; without it AdeeboMeter falls back to a Wi-Fi health score from the router link, link speed, adapter errors and drops.
• Live capture and Find my switch port need Wireshark (tshark + Npcap).

Under the hood

• Releases are tagged v<version> and built by release.ps1 on GitHub's Windows runner; the app installs and removes itself (no Setup.cmd).
• Self-test: 27 checks (install paths, the settings line, the icon, every explanation, evidence kinds, investigations and learn topics; the view walk visits all 13 pages); --perf times every page on your own PC.
• Source in src/, one file per part; build_exe.cmd and release.ps1 compile /recurse:src\*.cs.
• The knowledge (programs, terms, learn topics) moved to plain-text knowledge/*.txt, packed gzip-compressed inside the exe and unpacked only when a page asks; released when the engineer view closes.
