NTPQ
NTPQ is a utility for querying and monitoring Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers on macOS. It provides a graphical interface to NTP tools, allowing users to check the status of NTP synchronisation, query the health of time servers, and troubleshoot network time issues. The app is primarily used by system administrators and network engineers who need to verify that their Mac is properly synchronised with NTP infrastructure, or to diagnose timing problems in networked environments where precise time is critical.

1 suggestionWe could not find public information about NTPQ's current development status or whether a native Apple Silicon build exists. Given that the search results are sparse and there is no clear information about the app's maintenance or architecture support, contact the developer directly at the bundle ID domain (pignology.net) to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is available or planned. Since Apple is removing Rosetta 2 from macOS in late 2027, it is important to clarify this soon if you depend on NTPQ for routine system administration — an Intel-only build will stop launching on macOS 28 and beyond. As an alternative, the open-source ntpdate and ntpstat command-line tools (available via Homebrew) work natively on Apple Silicon and provide similar functionality for checking NTP synchronisation, though they require terminal familiarity rather than a graphical interface.
