It checks your connection speed, shows the current result in a compact interface, and keeps a short local history of recent tests.

Download the latest materialSpeed.app from the Releases page and move it to your Applications folder.
If macOS warns that the app cannot be opened because it was downloaded from the internet, open it from Finder with right click, then choose Open.
Open materialSpeed and press the start button. The app will measure latency first, then download speed, then upload speed.
Completed tests are saved in local history inside the app. You can open history with the clock button and clear it at any time.
materialSpeed does not require an account and does not collect personal data.
The app stores test history locally on your Mac using system app storage. Speed measurements connect to Cloudflare speed test endpoints to perform the network test.
