iPerf Reloaded brings the power of iPerf3 — the industry-standard network performance tool — directly to your iPhone and iPad. WHAT IS IPERF? iPerf3 is an open-source tool used by network engineers, IT admins, and enthusiasts worldwide to measure real TCP throughput between two devices. Unlike internet speed tests that hit a remote server, iPerf tests your LOCAL network — Wi-Fi, Ethernet, VPN tunnels, or any IP connection — giving you accurate, raw numbers without server-side bottlenecks. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Measure download and upload throughput to any iPerf3 server on your network • TCP and UDP protocol support • Test with 1–10 parallel streams to saturate high-speed links • Choose test durations: 5 s, 30 s, or unlimited • Watch throughput evolve live in a smooth 5Hz real-time chart • Share test results as an image or CSV export • Optimized iPad landscape layout • Save and compare past test runs in the built-in history • Reusable test profiles for recurring measurements • UDP diagnostics with packet loss, jitter, and out-of-order packets • Search, filter, and directly repeat saved tests • Light and dark theme TYPICAL USE CASES • Verify your Wi-Fi access point's real-world speed • Diagnose bottlenecks in home or office networks • Benchmark a new router, switch, or network adapter • Validate QoS or VPN performance REQUIREMENTS An iPerf3 server must be reachable on your network. Run `iperf3 -s` on any Mac, Linux, Windows, or Raspberry Pi to start one instantly. Public iPerf3 servers are also available online (see iperf3serverlist.net). PRIVACY No tracking, no analytics, no ads. All test data stays on your device. No account required. iPerf Reloaded is a clean, modern SwiftUI rewrite based on the open-source iperf3 library.

You're designing an app. Open it in Prototo and see it the way it was meant to be seen on your phone, in full fidelity. Prototo is a viewer for native prototypes. Tap a link and the design opens full-screen on your device, with the detail that flat mockups and screen recordings can never capture: • Real Liquid Glass: genuine system materials, not screenshots faking the look • Real gestures: swipe, scroll, drag, and tap with true native response • Real haptics: feel every tap and transition the way people actually will • Real navigation: native nav bars, sheets, and transitions FOR STAKEHOLDERS, REVIEWERS & CLIENTS Stop reviewing designs as static images or laggy videos. You hold the actual feel of the product in your hand, how it moves, how it responds, how it sounds. You'll give sharper feedback because you're experiencing the real thing, not imagining it from a picture. FOR DESIGNERS Preview your own work on-device as you go. See exactly how your prototype behaves with real materials, real motion before anyone else does so every reviewer sees the same high-fidelity preview. No builds to distribute, no TestFlight invites to chase. WHY PROTOTO Design tools render an approximation of native apps. Prototo displays the real thing, using the same native interface components your shipping app will. What you preview is what your users will feel.
