Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes. The main issue is the inconvenience of physically checking my phone's status. I often keep my phone charging or docked several feet away from my desk. It is frustrating to have to stand up or reach over just to unlock the screen and check if I am currently connected to 5G, 4G, or if the signal has dropped.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like the macOS app to act as a remote dashboard for the phone's network status.

  1. Network Type: A clear indicator showing if the phone is currently on 5G, 4G, or Wi-Fi.
  2. Realtime Activity: A live speed readout (upload/download) to confirm data is actually flowing.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently, I have to physically walk over or reach for the phone to check the status bar. This defeats the purpose of a "continuity" app, which should allow me to manage the device without touching it.

Additional context
Since the app already communicates between the devices, piggybacking the signal status info would hugely improve the "hands-off" experience.
