OpenNetMeter is a Windows desktop application intended for monitoring network traffic and data usage at the system and per-process level. It features a user-friendly interface that displays upload and download speeds in real time, along with a history of data consumption for the current session, and aggregates totals since launch or last reset. The app also breaks down usage by process, giving you visibility into which applications are consuming network bandwidth. It lives in the system tray, making it accessible and minimally intrusive for everyday use. Since it's open-source, users can inspect how data collection is done and trust that it’s not sending data elsewhere. While still evolving, it serves a practical niche for users who want more transparency than what built-in OS tools provide.
