Bencher is a new, modern benchmarking app for checking how your Apple devices perform in general, and over time. Run tests for your CPU, memory, SSD storage and GPU, then save each result so you can compare performance across devices, updates and different benchmark settings. Bencher is built for people who want a simple way to see whether their device is performing as expected without digging through complicated tools, as well as for fellow tech-enthusiasts who want to test the performance of their device and compare against others. Features include: • Intuitive User Interface • Single-core and multi-core CPU benchmarks • Memory performance testing • SSD read and write speed testing • Metal graphics benchmarking • Mac-supported OpenCL graphics benchmarking • Overall performance scores • Saved, searchable, filterable and easy to use benchmark history • Performance trends and comparisons • Reference comparisons between results • iCloud sync for benchmark history • Export and import support (both singular and batch import/export) • Feedback button to provide feedback and bug reports back to me • Dark mode by default (The cool way :p) • Native app layouts for iPhone, iPad and Mac Bencher is useful for checking performance after software updates, comparing different Apple devices, spotting unusual slowdowns, or keeping a long-term record of how your device performs. The app does not require an account, and benchmark history can be kept locally or synced through iCloud if you choose to enable it. This app is also currently awaiting approval from Gouvernement de la République française for distribution in France due to encryption use, and will be opened up to the French market pending approval.
