![]() ![]() Let me know if you end up making a Swift package for this. Someone would have to implement the “Responsiveness under Working Conditions” RFC in Swift. This is unfortunately not possible at this time as the app relies on the built-in networkQuality command-line tool, which does not exist on iOS. It’s almost certain that Apple will introduce automation for Shortcuts in macOS 14) Can you add support for iOS? (The Shortery app is only needed this year. Get the Shortery app and set it to run this shortcut every hour or at an interval of your choosing. You may want to enable the “Add to History” action setting. ![]() Open the Shortcuts app, create a new shortcut, and then drag the “Get Internet Speed” action into the shortcut editor. How can I run the speed test automatically every hour? You can now run speed tests directly from the Shortcuts icon in the menu bar. Enable the “Pin in Menu Bar” shortcut setting. I have sent a feature request to Apple about it and I encourage you to do the same. This is not possible as it’s not provided by the macOS tool Speediness uses to get the speed. Can it show the current speed live as it calculates it? The app makes use of the built-in networkQuality command-line tool under the hood, which is provided by Apple. Learn more Why should I trust the results? It’s a measurement of the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination computer that are echoed back to the source. Learn more What does the ping value mean? It’s a measurement called Round-trips Per Minute (RPM) - the number of sequential round-trips a network can do in one minute under normal working conditions. What does the responsiveness (RPM) value mean? It pretty much gives you your speed for watching Netflix. The problem with 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. Speediness also looks more like a proper macOS app and it has support for Shortcuts. Its requests are also often prioritized by ISPs, which skews the numbers even more. The Speedtest app uses a nearby server, which means the speed does not reflect real-world usage - it shows the most optimal scenario. ![]() How does it compare to Speedtest by Ookla? Because of this, speeds may differ from other tools. Why does it show different result from other tools?īy default, tests are run in parallel to better reflect real-world situations (video chat and voice calls). For example, you could show the internet speed for 10 minutes and then the weather for the next 10 minutes.įrequently Asked Questions I have a feature request, bug report, or some feedback Tip: If you have limited space in the menu bar, you could switch the info shown in One Thing at an interval too. I would recommend an interval higher than 10 minutes. You will need the One Thing and Shortery app.Īdd this shortcut and then create a new time trigger in Shortery. Tips Show the current internet speed in the menu bar ![]()
