Features

Internet Helper is a tool to test internet delays. It shows the delay of target URL as set.

Internet Helper provides speed function to let the user known the changing of internet. Further more, the user could run customize scripts. Internet Helper provides the conditions like remote network error or local network overtime, which are used as preconditions.

A user could add single-page web apps as tabs, for example, the router's setting page, the page that controls remote downloading.

Scripts and tabs can be grouped. A user could set different groups when necessary. For example, someone may hide the tab of home's router at work.

Internet Helper also shows user's IP information.

Internet Helper uses iCloud Key-Value syncing to sync the preferences. User's settings, scripts and tabs are all synced between devices.
