cnlabSpeedTest
cnlabSpeedTest is a network diagnostics and performance-testing utility for macOS that measures internet connection speed (upload and download), latency, jitter, packet loss, and DNS performance. The app sits in the menu bar and allows users to run quick network tests without opening a browser, making it useful for anyone troubleshooting connectivity issues, monitoring ISP performance, or verifying that their network meets specific bandwidth requirements. It is targeted at home and small-business users who need a lightweight desktop alternative to web-based speed tests.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find sufficient public information about cnlabSpeedTest to determine whether a native Apple Silicon build exists. The bundle ID suggests this is a Swiss-developed utility (ch.cnlab prefix), but the developer's site and distribution channels are not clearly identifiable from available search results. If you rely on this app, contact the developer directly to ask whether native Apple Silicon support is planned or already available — bearing in mind that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), so an Intel-only build will stop working on that release. In the meantime, web-based speed tests from Ookla, Fast.com, or your ISP remain reliable fallbacks, and modern browsers on Apple Silicon run these without any performance penalty.
