WinSpeed is a tiny speed meter that lives next to your clock. It also tests your connection, tracks your data usage and warns you before you hit a cap.
The meter sits next to the clock and follows your light or dark taskbar.
Small enough to forget it's running, thorough enough to answer "why is my internet slow?"
Download and upload speed next to the clock, stacked or on one line, with an optional mini graph and ping.
Download, upload, ping and jitter on Cloudflare's global network, with history, CSV export and scheduling.
Hour by hour and per adapter. View by day, month or year, drill down, and export to a spreadsheet.
Set a monthly or daily limit and your billing day. WinSpeed warns you at your chosen percentage and at 100 %.
Latency, jitter and packet loss, plus a notification the moment your internet drops and when it's back.
No telemetry, no ads, no account. Privacy mode masks IP and MAC addresses when you share your screen.
Every option applies instantly, so you can see exactly what you're getting.
Run a speed test in one click, then compare with history to spot slow evenings or a struggling Wi-Fi.

Light and dark themes that follow your Windows setting.
Grab the installer, or the portable zip if you'd rather not install, from the latest release.
The welcome screen asks three questions: units, position, and whether to start with Windows.
Right-click the meter for the menu, or double-click it to open the dashboard.
Yes. It's open source under the MIT licence: free for personal and commercial use, with no ads, no premium tier and no account.
Yes. It sits next to the system tray on Windows 11 and Windows 10, handles vertical and auto-hiding taskbars, and can also run as a floating widget.
No. It uses about 20 MB of memory and well under 1 % CPU. The window only uses resources while it's open.
The installer isn't code-signed yet. Click More info → Run anyway. Every release is built publicly by GitHub Actions and comes with SHA-256 checksums.
Nothing about you. A small ping checks your latency (you can turn it off), it checks GitHub for updates once a day (optional), and the speed test and public-IP lookup only run when you ask. Details.
They won't by default. WinSpeed counts only physical adapters, because a VPN sends the same traffic through two adapters. You can change which adapters are counted in Settings.
Free forever. Takes a minute to set up.
