Features
One tool, your whole network
Built for speed: every essential action fits on one screen, without digging into Windows or macOS settings.
Address, mask, gateway
The three essential values in one form, with instant validation of the format, contiguous mask and subnet.

All your network adapters
Ethernet, Wi-Fi and virtual interfaces on a single screen, with their status, current address and pending changes.
Dedicated ping tab
Ping any target from the network adapter of your choice, without opening a terminal or memorising commands.
Lightweight, portable and multilingual
A single executable under 300 KB, no installation, no telemetry. Interface in French, English, German and Spanish, with light and dark themes.
Permission detection
The app shows whether it really has administrator rights.
Network connections
Opens the Windows panel and creates a desktop shortcut.
Remembered static IP
Windows keeps your last static address even while on DHCP.
Adapter on/off
Enable or disable an interface without leaving the app.
Three steps
From launch to a new address, in seconds
No scripts, no terminal, no reboot: a clear interface that always shows the real state of your adapters.
1
Launch the app
On Windows, accept the elevation prompt. On macOS, the app opens immediately; authorisation is requested when you apply a change.
2
Choose the adapter
Select Ethernet, Wi-Fi or any other interface. Its status and current IPv4 address appear automatically.
3
Change and test
Switch to DHCP or enter a static address, click “Apply”, then “Test” to check the connection.
Good to know: unapplied changes are offered when you close the app. You can apply everything at once, quit without changing anything, or stay in the app.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Another question? Write to contact@angelivisions.com.
Is the app really free?
Yes. Easy IP-Switch is free, with no ads, no account and no paid version. A donation via PayPal is possible to support development, but it is entirely optional.
Do I need administrator rights to change an IP address?
On Windows, yes: the app requests elevation at launch, because changing a network adapter is a protected operation. On macOS, authorisation is requested each time you apply a change, and you can still browse the app without privileges.
How do I choose between macOS Intel and Apple Silicon?
Open the Apple menu → “About This Mac”. If the “Chip” line shows Apple M1, M2, M3, M4 or later, download the Apple Silicon version. If the “Processor” line mentions Intel, choose the Intel version.
Windows shows a SmartScreen warning — is that normal?
Yes. The executable is not signed with a commercial certificate, so Windows may display “Windows protected your PC”. Click “More info”, then “Run anyway”.
Does the app collect any data?
No. No telemetry, no account and no outbound connection other than the pings you run yourself to an address on your network.
Are my changes applied immediately?
Each adapter has its own “Apply” button. If you close the app with pending changes, a window offers to apply them all, quit without applying, or stay.
Can I go back to an automatic IP address?
Yes. Select “DHCP” on the adapter and confirm: it receives an address from the router. On Windows, your last static address stays remembered and is shown for reference.
