Could you build this?
Partial A menu bar app with calendar integration is buildable with AI help, but reliably attributing problems to WiFi, router, or internet requires real network measurement expertise and native macOS work.
What it would actually take: The app shell and calendar hooks are codeable in Swift with EventKit and a menu bar framework. The hard part is trustworthy diagnosis: running latency, jitter, and packet loss probes, identifying the gateway, and separating local WiFi issues from upstream problems across varied home and office networks. That needs networking expertise and extensive real-world testing across hardware.
