What is this?
Louisa Wi-Fi is a macOS menu bar app that automatically detects which Louisa Coffee shop you're in and connects to that store's Wi-Fi with the right password, so you never have to ask for it or manually re-enter a network.

You need macOS 13 (Ventura) or newer; building it yourself only requires Xcode Command Line Tools.Does it always auto-connect on the first visit?Not necessarily — Macs have no GPS, so location can be imprecise without network access, meaning the very first time at a new store you may need to manually pick it from the menu once before it's remembered.
