InternetSpeedTest is a macOS utility from AppYogi Software that measures internet download, upload, and latency performance on a Mac.
What is InternetSpeedTest?
InternetSpeedTest is a macOS network utility for checking the quality and speed of your internet connection. It helps Mac users measure download speed, upload speed, and latency so they can quickly tell whether slow performance is caused by the network or something else on the device. The app is designed for everyday connection checks, troubleshooting home or office internet issues, and monitoring connection quality over time. AppYogi Software describes it as a speed-testing tool for Mac, and its App Store listing presents it as a menu bar-friendly utility with support for instant tests and automated testing options. This kind of app is most useful for users who want a simple way to confirm network performance without opening a browser-based test each time.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This app performs network speed tests, so regular internet access is expected for its core function. Basic network-related data and diagnostics may be processed as part of testing and app support, which is normal for this type of utility. If you use any automatic testing features, the app may run checks periodically and generate more network activity than a manual test alone. Keep it if you actively use it to monitor connection quality, and review its privacy information if you want details about diagnostics or usage data.
Recommendation: Keep InternetSpeedTest if you use it to troubleshoot or monitor your connection speed on Mac. If you do not use speed-testing utilities or prefer browser-based tests, removing it should only affect this app’s own testing and history features.
