The Concept: Moving Beyond the Menu Bar

While the macOS menu bar is ideal for quick toggles, power users managing intricate proxy networks often want deeper observability. Panel Mode explores a native macOS desktop interface optimized for multi-display setups.

Conceptual Features Being Explored:

1. Native Traffic & Bandwidth Telemetry:

   • Real-time rolling graphs tracking upload and download bandwidth.
   • Cumulative session data counters and monthly quota warnings.
   • Per-application bandwidth usage meters (identifying background apps consuming bandwidth).

2. Interactive Connection Explorer:

   • Real-time list of all established TCP sockets and active UDP streams.
   • Direct visibility into destination domains, IP addresses, matching routing rules, and the egress proxy node.
   • Ability to right-click an active connection to immediately add an override rule (e.g., force a specific domain to Direct).

3. Node Latency & Health Matrix:

   • Grid view displaying all proxy nodes across multiple subscriptions simultaneously.
   • Historical latency tracking and packet loss metrics to identify unstable servers.

Operating ClashFX Today (Free Core Version)

You do not need Panel Mode to configure and run proxies effectively on your Mac. All fundamental proxy operations are available in the current free version:

• Switch Nodes & Groups: Click the ClashFX icon in the menu bar to view groups and switch nodes instantly.
• Run Ping & Latency Tests: Click the test icon in the menu bar dropdown to verify node responsiveness.
