About

Blip Stats

Features
Read full description

Blip puts honest device stats, a real benchmark, and serious network tools on your iPhone and iPad โ€” the same featherlight philosophy as Blip for Mac โ€” free, in one app. Overview โ€” live cards for CPU, memory, storage, battery, thermal state, and network. Tap any card for full details: memory breakdown, load averages, core counts, boot-derived uptime, local IPs with tap-to-copy, tap-to-reveal public IP, VPN and radio awareness. Honest suggestions appear only when a real signal fires. Blip Bench โ€” CPU, memory, GPU, and Neural Engine throughput in Blip's fixed reference units, comparable across every device running Blip. The full profile adds a sustained phase that measures thermal throttling, with results animating in leg by leg. Speed โ€” test against the public OpenSpeedTest service or your own self-hosted server. Download and upload draw as separate curves, latency is measured idle and under load (bufferbloat), and every result is graded per activity: browsing, HD and 4K streaming, video calls, cloud gaming, big uploads. Network โ€” ping and traceroute with per-hop latency, timeout detection, and an offline GeoIP map of the route. The location database is downloaded once and lookups never leave your device. Storage โ€” sequential disk speed tests on internal storage or any volume you can reach in Files, caching disabled and flush included. Widgets โ€” bench score, storage, and last speed test on your Home Screen, each stamped with its age. Shortcuts โ€” run benchmarks and speed tests or capture a full stats snapshot from Automations. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Everything Blip shows is what iOS honestly exposes to a well-behaved app.
