It doesn't add any menu bar items, instead adding functionality to Apple's existing Airport menu bar item. It identifies open and locked connections, as well as signal strength (and channel if you hover). Download the trial at tastyapps.com and give it a whirl! And at only $8, it is an easy purchase. (No, I don't work for them or are affiliated in any way. Just a rabid fan.) I prefer WiFind. It doesn’t add any menu bar items, instead adding functionality to Apple’s existing Airport menu bar item.

For example, if lets say coconutwifi pick up an open wireless signal from say SSID 'opennet', then I should be able to choose that and it should automatically connect to that network using airport. is this doable? one thing ive never figured out is what cant any app like this be used to replace the default airport or send back data to airport.
