02

Your use

Explore network interfaces

View counters by interface to better understand activity on your device.

  • Upload and download activity and speeds, grouped into interface families.
  • Classification is heuristic and depends on the device and its setup.
  • “en*” interfaces default to Wi‑Fi; Ethernet cannot be distinguished on every device. “bridge” families can also be ambiguous.
  • Mata Ara reads counters by interface, not per-app traffic.

Your use

Stay on top of usage while travelling

Set an allowance yourself to match your temporary travel plan.

  • Choose a fixed-period quota and its expiry date.
  • Monitor cellular use during the trip and recalibrate the counters if needed.
  • Get a local notification when your configured plan is due to expire within 24 hours.
  • Mata Ara does not detect eSIM profiles or read carrier billing data. Device counters can differ from your carrier’s total.
