Kilobat

Network Quality Assistant That Keeps Remote Workers Connected

Kilobat is a Mac application designed to help digital nomads and remote workers navigate the challenge of staying productive on unreliable networks. Whether you're working from a café in Lisbon or a coworking space in Bali, this tool focuses on one thing: making sure your internet connection works when you need it to.

Test Before You Talk

The app includes a network quality testing feature specifically geared toward video calls. Before joining that important client meeting, you can quickly check whether the café's Wi-Fi can actually handle real-time communication. This helps you avoid those awkward moments of frozen screens and "Can you hear me now?" conversations.

Smart Hotspot Protection

One of Kilobat's practical features is its ability to protect your mobile data plan when using your phone as a hotspot. It blocks background updates and downloads that can silently drain your data allowance, letting you focus that precious bandwidth on work that matters. This is particularly useful when you're in a location without reliable Wi-Fi options.

Automatic Café Login Detection

The application automatically detects those café login pages that pop up before you can access the internet. Instead of waiting to discover you're not actually online, Kilobat catches these portal pages immediately, saving you from confusion and wasted time.

Location-Based DNS Optimization

Kilobat adjusts DNS settings based on your location, helping improve connection reliability as you move between different countries and networks. This happens automatically in the background without requiring manual configuration.

Share the Knowledge

The app generates shareable network quality cards for cafés and workspaces. You can help other nomads by sharing which locations have solid connections and which ones to avoid for important calls.
