iPerf Falcon brings native iPerf testing to iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Measure Wi-Fi, LAN, routers, NAS devices, servers, or broadband to find network bottlenecks. Connect to your chosen endpoint, listen locally, or automate the test over SSH. You control the target and method.

Wide iPad and Mac windows show parameters and results together. On iPhone Duo, layouts adapt to both displays and place content on either side of the fold when space allows, preserving your page, drafts, and current test state. Larger text, light and dark appearances, and nine languages are supported: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, and Russian. On iOS 27 and macOS 27, App Shortcuts can open Speed Test, History, or Settings, or load a saved preset. Privacy first No account is required, and there are no ads or analytics trackers. Test history stays on your device. SSH passwords and private keys are stored only in the system Keychain. Test traffic goes only to the target you choose; the target list briefly checks port reachability.
