Speed Indicator uses Android's network and usage statistics APIs to measure traffic and present usage information. Some features require additional system access, which can be enabled from Settings inside the app.
- Usage Access — required for data usage tracking.
- Battery Optimization — can be disabled to improve continuous monitoring reliability.
- Install Unknown Apps — required when installing updates downloaded directly by the app.
The project was inspired by the open-source NetSpeedIndicator. It influenced the initial concept of building an Android network speed and data usage monitor.
Bug reports, suggestions, and improvements are welcome. Please keep contributions focused and follow the existing Kotlin and Jetpack Compose conventions.
