A Swift library that monitors network reachability on Apple platforms, replacing Apple's Reachability sample code with a closure-based API. It supports iOS, macOS, and tvOS and is distributed via CocoaPods, Carthage, or manual file inclusion.

Use cases

  • detect when the device goes online or offline
  • show a no-internet banner in an iOS app
  • wait for network connectivity before retrying API calls
  • monitor wifi vs cellular connection changes
  • check if a specific host is reachable

When to choose

  • you need a lightweight, closure-based reachability monitor in Swift
  • you want a well-known drop-in replacement for Apple's Reachability sample
  • you support older iOS/macOS/tvOS versions

When to avoid

  • you need NWPathMonitor-based modern APIs and can use Apple's Network framework directly
  • your project targets only recent OS versions where NWPathMonitor suffices
  • you need detailed connection quality metrics, not just reachability
