Open Source Windows app OpenNetMeter monitors network and data usage
February 3, 2022

OpenNetMeter is a free open source program for Microsoft Windows devices to monitor network traffic and data usage. The current version of the program monitors overall traffic on the device and data usage of individual applications.

The well designed interface displays data usage of the current session and the total usage. There is also a graph that highlights upload and download data usage of the past 60 seconds.
One interesting feature of the open source data monitor is found under the detailed tab. There you find listed all processes that used data, upload or download.

Some enhancements are already listed under issues on the project's GitHub page. Future program versions will support different Wi-Fi profiles, and there is a chance that a permanent listing on the taskbar will be added in a future release as well.
Closing words
OpenNetMeter has a lot of competition; you can check out my overview of data usage monitors for Windows as a start. The application is still in its early days of development and new features appear to be in development already.

Windows users who want to keep an eye on their overall data usage or the usage of individual applications may give this a try to see how it performs on their devices.
