Speedtape — Know How Your Internet Actually Performs

Your internet feels slow. You run a speed test. It looks fine. Sound familiar?

Speedtape is an open-source, privacy-first network performance tracker built for developers who want data over guesswork.

It runs quietly in the background, periodically testing your connection and building a historical view of how your internet performs throughout the day — without subscriptions, cloud accounts, or sending your data anywhere.

Why Speedtape?

• 📈 See performance over time: Go beyond one-off speed tests and understand how your connection behaves across days, peak hours, and quiet hours.

• 🔒 Your data stays yours: Every sample is stored locally in SQLite. Nothing leaves your machine.

• 💸 Completely free & open source: MIT licensed. No subscriptions, usage limits, accounts, or hidden meters.

• ⚙️ Runs in the background: Set it up once and let Speedtape collect data while you work.

• 🔍 Spot patterns: Identify recurring slowdowns, peak-hour degradation, latency issues, and changes in your baseline.

• 🚨 Capture outages: Failed tests are recorded too, so downtime doesn't disappear from your history.

• 🧾 Have evidence for your ISP: Instead of saying “my internet keeps getting slow,” export a week's worth of actual measurements to CSV.

• 🛠 Built for developers: Clone it, run it locally, inspect the code, modify it, or contribute.

One speed test tells you how your internet performed right now.

Speedtape tells you how your internet actually performs.
