I made this app as I work from coffee shops a lot where the Wi-Fi is not always great, so I use this to quickly check whether I should use their Wi-Fi or 5G.
The app uses the built-in `networkQuality` command-line tool, which generally has more accurate results than other similar tools.
You can view the history in the app and export to JSON or CSV. And you can even add notes.
FAQ
‣ How does it compare to Speedtest by Ookla?
The Speedtest app uses a nearby server, which means the speed does not actually reflect real-world usage — it shows the most optimal scenario. Its requests are also often prioritized by ISPs, which skews the numbers even more. Speediness also looks more like a proper macOS app and it has support for Shortcuts.
‣ How does it compare to fast.com?
The problem with fast.com is that it's run by Netflix, and Netflix's servers are often prioritized (and sometimes throttled), meaning you won't always get a realistic value. It pretty much gives you your speed for watching Netflix.
