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.

MySpd measures download and upload speed, ping and jitter, with local history and support for English and Arabic. Understand your connection • Download and upload speed in Mbps or MB/s • Idle latency, jitter and latency during download and upload • Estimated round trips per minute (RPM) and an A–F stability grade when enough loaded-latency measurements are available • Estimates for 4K streaming, video calls and online gaming • Network provider, IP address and test-server information when available • Wi-Fi and cellular connection detection RPM is derived from latency under load; it is not a full IETF responsiveness test. Suitability indicators are estimates, not guarantees. Results depend on your device, network conditions and the route to the test service. History on your device View saved results, filter by Wi-Fi or cellular, and explore speed trends. If history cannot open or a result cannot be saved, the app tells you and provides recovery guidance. No accounts, ads, analytics or third-party crash reporting. Test traffic goes directly to Cloudflare, which receives your IP address and test requests under its own privacy practices. MySpd does not send your saved history or a completed results report to the developer or Cloudflare. See our privacy policy for details. Choose Quick or Standard testing and switch between Arabic and English in the app. Tests use mobile data when run on cellular; usage and duration vary. Version 1.2 uses a dark interface.
