Blip puts honest device stats, a real benchmark, and serious network tools on your iPhone and iPad — the same featherlight philosophy as Blip for Mac — free, in one app. Overview — 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 — 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 — 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 — 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 — sequential disk speed tests on internal storage or any volume you can reach in Files, caching disabled and flush included. Widgets — bench score, storage, and last speed test on your Home Screen, each stamped with its age. Shortcuts — 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.

Nexus Telemetry is a premium, high-performance diagnostics dashboard designed specifically for developers, engineers, and power users who need instant access to device sensor data. Featuring a sleek, high-contrast developer-console style visual layout, Nexus Telemetry aggregates real-time hardware telemetry and network analytics with zero setup. Features: • Attitude & Gyroscope: View pitch and roll visualized on a smoothed, high-precision technical HUD indicator. • Sound Level Gauge: Track ambient decibel (dB SPL) levels instantly using the built-in microphone. • BLE Beacon Scanner: Scan nearby Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) peripherals, view RSSI signal quality, and inspect advertised services and characteristics. • GPS Coordinates: Real-time latitude, longitude, course, speed, and elevation, with precision accuracy tracking. • Motion Sensors: Monitor raw accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer vector readings. • Network Analytics: Track ping latency, Wi-Fi or cellular connections, signal strength, and low-data constraints. • System Diagnostics: Check CPU load, memory allocation, and storage metrics in real time. Pro Utilities (One-time Upgrade): • Local Data Logger: Record high-precision telemetry from all sensors into local CSV log files. • Local Wi-Fi Streaming: Broadcast live JSON updates over your local Wi-Fi network at 10Hz using a built-in Server-Sent Events (SSE) server. • Workspace Customizer: Reorder, hide, and scale categories and sensor rows to design your ultimate telemetry dashboard. Privacy & Completeness: • 100% Offline: All telemetry calculations are performed strictly locally on-device. • Zero Data Tracking: We do not collect, transmit, or share your location, motion, network, or microphone data. • No Accounts Required: Access all diagnostic tools instantly upon launch.
