1. What is IP Address Menu?
You want to display your current IP address in the menu bar? You want to display your user name, your computer name, the IP address, the subnet mask and the MAC address of each of your network interface at the same time? You want your Mac to automatically send an email or upload a file through FTP when one of your IP addresses changes?
Then IP Address Menu is what you need!

- It displays an icon or your current IP address in the right side of the menu bar.

- You can copy them to the clipboard by selecting them.
- It can automatically send an email or upload a file through FTP with all this information and the new IP address when it detects that one of your IP addresses has changed.

- You can configure the subject and the body of the emails sent.
- You can configure the name and the content of the file uploaded through FTP.

3. How to install it?
No particular installation is required. Once you've downloaded the ".dmg" package from our website, it should uncompress automatically (in your "Downloads" folder or on your Desktop). If it does not, then you can double-click on it to uncompress it.
Then you just have to move the created folder into your "Applications" folder (or any other location) and double-click on the Application to launch it.

Particular case of MacOS 11 Big Sur:

Under MacOS 11 Big Sur, if you're launching the Application for the first time, MacOS' GateKeeper (which you can configure in the "System Preferences") will refuse to launch it because you've not downloaded it from the Mac App Store (but from our website). In this case, instead of double-clicking on it, all you have to do is to right-click on the Application's icon, and then select the "Open" menu. A message will appear in which you'll be able to confirm that you want to launch the Application (even if it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store from an Identified Developper).

NB: We're not distributing our Applications through the Mac App Store, because Apple's fees policy on the Mac App Store is not financially respectful of developers and small and medium companies, and consequently, at the end, of customers.

4. How to uninstall it?
There should be no reason to do this. ;-)
However, if you really want, then you just have to throw the Application into the trash, and that's all.

5. How to use it?
Just launch it and your IP address will appear on the right side of the menu bar.
Click on it to scroll the menu down.
Click on any menu item to copy it to the clipboard.

The external IP address is refreshed and checked every 5 minutes.
If you want to automatically send an email or upload a file through FTP when one of your IP addresses changes then click on the "Preferences..." menu item to open the Preferences window to configure it.
Configure your email notification or your FTP notification, just like you would configure your email browser or your FTP browser, with the information provided by your Internet Service Provider.
