Internet Speed Meter

Stay on top of your internet speed—right from your status bar and notification shade. Internet Speed Meter shows real-time download & upload throughput for Wi-Fi and mobile data, plus clean usage stats you can export.

Key features

Live speed in notification & status bar

See current download/upload rates updated every second (configurable).

Floating overlay (optional)

A tiny, movable speed label that stays on top of other apps. Customize text size, colors, and opacity.

Daily & monthly usage

View Wi-Fi and mobile data usage per day and totals for the month. Export CSV or reset whenever you like.

Network details at a glance

Transport (Wi-Fi / Mobile), Wi-Fi SSID & link speed, carrier / generation (e.g., 4G/5G), VPN indicator, local IP, and (optional) public IP & city.

Material You design

Light, Dark, or System theme. Dynamic color on Android 12+.

Battery-friendly & flexible

Quick Settings tile

Start/stop the speed notification from the QS tile.

No account required

Works out of the box—no sign-in.

How it works

This app measures the actual traffic your device is sending/receiving and displays the current throughput. It does not run synthetic “speed tests,” so there’s no extra data usage beyond what your other apps already use.

Permissions (what and why)

Draw over other apps: to show the optional floating overlay.

Notifications (Android 13+): to show the ongoing speed notification.

Network & Wi-Fi state / Internet: to read network type and traffic.

Location (Approx./Precise): required by Android to read the current Wi-Fi SSID and link speed on some devices/versions.

Nearby Wi-Fi devices (Android 13+): lets the app read Wi-Fi info without a scan.

Read phone state: to show your current mobile network type (e.g., LTE/5G).

Receive boot completed: optional, to auto-start if you enable “Start on boot”.

Privacy

No account, no login, no personal profile.

Usage history stays on your device.

Public IP & city lookup happens only if you enable it in Settings.

This app displays ads (AdMob), which may use device identifiers as described in our policy.

Notes

Speeds shown are your current throughput, which naturally fluctuates based on what other apps are doing and network conditions. It may differ from your plan’s theoretical maximum or from synthetic speed-test results.

If the overlay doesn’t appear, grant “Display over other apps” permission from Settings
