Breakdown doesn't route your traffic through a proxy or VPN. It runs on your Mac and watches network metadata and health signals, not call audio, messages, or documents. You get a useful history of what changed without routing your work through us.
Breakdown is free for standard use: automatic Wi-Fi/LAN, ISP-path, and app monitoring, seven days of recent issues, Evidence Reports, and Community Outage Insights. Pro adds deeper graphs, diagnostics, and Internet-path topology.
When support asks what happened, 'the internet was slow around 2' is hard to act on. Breakdown's Evidence Report preserves the timeline and likely root cause, giving your ISP, IT team, or app vendor something concrete to investigate.
Intermittent connection problems often vanish before support starts looking. Breakdown keeps a timeline of Wi-Fi/LAN, ISP-path, and app health, preserving what changed so support has a likely place to look instead of making you start from scratch.
Full Wi-Fi bars only describe the radio link to your access point. They don't tell you whether the LAN, ISP path, or app is healthy. Breakdown keeps those fault domains separate so a strong signal doesn't send you troubleshooting the wrong thing.
Happy Sysadmin Appreciation Day! To thank you hard-working sysadmins, the first 10 Mac-wielding sysadmins who reach out get a free Breakdown Pro license!
