AppNetworkCounter is a lightweight, freeware network monitoring utility for Windows developed by NirSoft. It tracks and displays the real-time bandwidth consumption of every individual application running on your system.
Unlike general network tools that only show total data usage, it isolates traffic down to the specific .exe file. Key Metrics Tracked
The utility populates a real-time grid containing the following data points for each active application: Byte Count: Exact number of total bytes sent and received.
Packet Count: Total number of individual packets transferred.
Protocol Breakdown: Disaggregated metrics for IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.
Current Speed: Live send and receive speeds displayed in real time.
App Information: Application product name, file version, description, and company name to help easily identify unknown processes. Main Features
Zero Installation: Portable executable file that runs instantly without leaving traces in the system registry.
Tray Icon Support: Includes a system tray icon whose tooltip displays live information (application name, speeds, and total bytes) for any item you highlight.
Data Export: Allows copying selected rows to the clipboard or exporting the log into a tab-delimited text, CSV, or HTML file.
Extensive OS Support: Compatible with all major versions of Windows, from older releases like Windows XP up to modern setups like Windows 11 (32-bit and 64-bit systems). Technical Requirements
Admin Rights: On Windows Vista and later, you must run the tool with Administrator privileges (elevation) to let it capture network packets.
