This app is an iOS port for iperf3, which is the most commonly used network testing and performance computation tool. Iperf is a tool to measure maximum TCP bandwidth, allowing the tuning of various parameters and UDP characteristics. Features - Compatible with iperf3 in other platforms - Run as iperf3 client or server - Customize iperf3 arguments - Display Wi-Fi interface link speed and SSID IMPORTANT This application is based on iperf 3.21, which is not compatible with the legacy iperf (version 1.x and 2.x). And it may have some minor issues with the other iperf3 versions.
iPerfman Pro
This tool measures maximum achievable bandwidth on IP networks across Apple platforms. It offers a visual speedometer and speed chart to evaluate network performance, helping you find optimal router locations and simulate constrained network environments.
- Bandwidth measurement
- Speedometer and speed chart
- LAN network testing
- Manual test parameter settings
- UDP mode testing
- Bandwidth limiting simulation

iPerfman Pro helps you measure network performance between your device and a compatible iperf3 server. Run TCP or UDP tests on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with no daily test limit or subscription in this paid app. Measure and investigate: - Test upload, download or both directions; view each direction's results separately. - Follow throughput in live charts. View UDP jitter and packet loss, TCP retransmissions, and round-trip time when those measurements are available. - Set test duration, parallel streams, bitrate limits, DSCP/QoS markings and other iperf3 parameters. - Run a server and choose a specific IPv4/IPv6 interface or listen on all interfaces. - Save completed tests with their configuration and interval results. Rerun a test, compare two records or share a report without exporting authentication secrets. - Keep server presets and export logs for further analysis. iPerfman Pro uses iperf3 3.21 through IperfSwift. A compatible server or second device is required for a network test; this is not an internet speed-test service. The Apple TV app uses a separate interface and has a different feature set.
