Network Heartbeat

Network Heartbeat monitors network connections to make sure you can actually connect to the outside world. If a bad connection is detected, the app will notify you so that you can fix the situation.

Your device can be connected to a WiFi network that isn't actually working and you would never know it. I developed this app because I have been connected to networks, especially public networks, waiting for important messages and never received them because of a bad connection.

Permissions explained:

Full network access - Attempt connection to an external server to see if the network is working.

View network connections / View Wi-Fi connections - Check if the phone is connected to WiFi or using mobile data.

Prevent phone from sleeping - This is for the scheduled network checks while your phone is locked, the app needs to "wake" the phone temporarily to check the network connection.

Run at startup - This is for starting the scheduled checks automatically with your device.

Set an alarm - This is for setting the scheduled checks.

Control vibration - Notifications
