What is macOS Network Throttler?

macOS Network Throttler lets developers simulate slow or unreliable network conditions directly from the menu bar — no restart required, no proxy setup, no digging through Xcode's Additional Tools.

Pick a preset (3G, Edge, High Latency, Packet Loss) or build a fully custom profile, and it applies instantly across your entire system via a privileged helper. Unlike proxy-based tools, it intercepts all traffic — not just HTTP — so every app on your Mac is affected, exactly as it would be on a real slow connection.

Built as a focused alternative to Apple's dated Network Link Conditioner, and a simpler, cheaper option than Proxyman or Charles Proxy for developers who just need network throttling without a full HTTP debugger.

One-time purchase of $5.99. Free trial available. No subscription.
