Pixel Meter

Pixel Meter is a network speed monitor application designed specifically for Google Pixel and native Android devices. Unlike traditional speed monitors, Pixel Meter solves a common issue where using a VPN causes the displayed network speed to be double the actual speed (counting both the physical interface and the virtual VPN interface).

Pixel Meter intelligently filters out VPN traffic, directly reading from physical network interfaces (Wi-Fi, Cellular, Ethernet) to provide accurate real-time speed statistics.

Features

- Precise Traffic Stats: Uses ConnectivityManager and TrafficStats to filter out tun0 and other virtual interfaces. - Native Experience: Built with Jetpack Compose and Material 3, supporting Dynamic Color on Pixel devices. - Flexible Display: - Notification Bar: Dynamic icon that updates in real-time. Supports customizable display modes (Total Speed, Upload Only, Download Only) and text prefixes. - Floating Window: Overlay that can be toggled and moved independently. Fully customizable: - Background and Text Color - Corner Radius and Text Size - Custom Text Prefixes and Order - Quick Settings Tiles: Toggle Overlay and Notification directly from the system control panel. - Live Update: Supports Android 16+ status bar chip update. - Privacy Focused: All data is processed locally. No traffic data is uploaded. - Built-in Tools: Integrated Cloudflare Speed Test via Chrome Custom Tabs.

Requirements

- Device: Google Pixel series (recommended) or devices running native Android (AOSP). - Android Version: Android 12 (API Level 31) or higher. - Permissions: Notification (for the status bar icon) and Overlay (for the floating window).
