Real Net Speed vs NetGlance

The measurement has no set end: it runs until you stop it. This is not a few-second test, it is a monitor. BOTH DIRECTIONS AT ONCE Download and upload have independent controls. With both directions on at the same time, download drops. That is the network in real use, not its capacity — to measure capacity, run one direction at a time. SEVERAL SERVERS, IN PARALLEL It measures against several servers at once. Your device picks which, by each one's latency before starting — and the number of servers grows while that keeps improving the rate. The screen shows how much each one is delivering. THE NUMBER SAYS WHERE IT CAME FROM The number comes from the shortest valid window, and the screen says which: 10 s, 1 min or 5 min. On a slow link the window has to be longer for the number to mean anything. YOU CHOOSE WHERE TO MEASURE Automatic or a specific country, with favourite servers that always take part. A MEASURED ZERO IS A MEASUREMENT A measured zero is a measurement, not an error. If the connection drops mid-run, the chart shows the zero and measuring continues: the drop is part of what is being measured. WHAT IT COSTS IS IN PLAIN SIGHT On mobile data this eats your allowance fast, because it does not stop on its own. The app asks before measuring off Wi-Fi, and the counter on each card shows what was measured. After each measurement a technical record is sent to improve the meter — with no account, no device identifier and no IP address of yours. Details in the privacy policy. No sign-up and no ads.

NetGlance puts your live network speed in the tray, so a glance at the top of your iPhone tells you exactly what your connection is doing — without opening anything. Two arrows, two numbers. The green up arrow sits in the top-left, the blue down arrow in the top-right — upload and download, updated every second in KB/s, MB/s, or GB/s automatically. The direction that's actively moving data lights up, so one glance tells you whether you're uploading, downloading, or idle. Built to stay out of your way: • LIVE UP & DOWN — Real-time upload and download rates, smoothed so they're readable instead of jittery. • Runs as a Live Activity. The compact up/down arrows appear in the tray on iPhone 14 Pro and later; on every supported iPhone the same live meter shows on the Lock Screen. Touch and hold for an expanded view with exact speeds. • SMART UNITS — Switches between KB/s, MB/s, and GB/s on its own. • BATTERY-FRIENDLY — When your network goes quiet, NetGlance freezes its display and stops working. No busy loops, no wasted CPU. • A CLEAN APP SCREEN — Open NetGlance for big upload/download cards and connection status. NetGlance Pro — one-time purchase Unlock everything with a single purchase. No subscription, ever. • SESSION & PEAK STATS — Total data moved this session, plus your fastest upload and download speeds. • CUSTOM THEMES — Recolor the meter with Aqua, Sunset, Grape, or Mono. • PAY ONCE — Unlock forever, and restore free on your other devices signed in to the same Apple Account. Private by design: NetGlance reads only your device's own interface counters. It has no accounts and no tracking.
