Description

USB Connection Information that “10Gbps” cable might be running at USB 2.0 speeds.

Your expensive dock could be throttled. USB Connection Information lives in your menu bar and shows the real performance of every connection…instantly.

STOP GUESSING. START KNOWING.

See actual negotiated speeds (not just specs), live charger wattage, AVS rating, device power draw, and which drives belong to which devices. Perfect for anyone who’s ever wondered “is this thing working right?”

CORE FEATURES
– Real-time speed verification (USB 1.0 to USB3.2, Thunderbolt 1–3)
– Live charger wattage, PD version, and power profiles (MacBooks only)
– Finder badges showing connection speed on drive icons
– Desktop widgets (small, medium, large) for at-a-glance monitoring
– Click to copy serial numbers, vendor IDs, and device details
– Enable speed alerts to instantly catch slow USB connections.

BUILT FOR YOUR WORKFLOW
– Menu bar customization: Show icon only, charger wattage, device speed, or device count
– Right-click drives in Finder for instant device info
– Automatic vendor identification (90%+ of consumer devices)
– Multi-language support with full VoiceOver and accessibility features

EFFICIENT & PRIVATE
Native SwiftUI app with minimal resource usage. Your data never leaves your Mac: no tracking, no telemetry, and no cloud sync.

TECHNICAL NOTE
macOS reports negotiated USB speeds accurately. For Thunderbolt4/USB4 and some complex devices (certain RAID arrays, protocol-tunneling docks) may not appear if they don’t present on the USB bus.
