Connectivity Watchtower
DeadSpot-Sentinel
It notices the network failure before the browser finishes lying about it.
MISSION PROFILE
DeadSpot-Sentinel is a lightweight Linux tray companion that watches real connectivity, reacts quickly to dropouts, measures connection quality, handles multiple adapters, and keeps an eye on system heat.
Made for unreliable Wi-Fi environments where waiting for applications to time out is not good enough.
CAPABILITY MATRIX
What it can do.
Fast connection-loss detection without focus stealing
Automatic and on-demand speed testing
Dual Wi-Fi adapter awareness and switching
Connection recovery feedback and status history
Stable CPU-temperature alerts
Autostart, tray controls, and verified self-updates
ORIGIN LOG
Why it exists.
Dead spots are frustrating because the machine often remains technically connected while the useful connection is already gone.
The project evolved into a broader laptop watchtower, combining network awareness with temperature monitoring and practical controls that belong one click away.
