Your DNS, one tap away.

DNS Button switches the DNS on your Mac, iPhone and iPad. Pick a provider from the menu bar on a Mac, or from the app on iPhone and iPad, and it sets the DNS your device uses. It reads that setting back from the system, so it always shows the resolver actually in use.

By hand, open System Settings → Network → your connection → Details → DNS, add the servers and click OK. That's once per connection, and again every time you change your mind. With DNS Button it's one click in the menu bar, and one click back.

By hand, open Settings → Wi-Fi, tap your network, then Configure DNS → Manual, and add the servers. That covers one Wi-Fi network at a time, and cellular has no such setting. DNS Button sets DNS for every network at once. Pick a provider, turn it on, and approve it once in Settings.

It depends on where you are, so DNS Button measures it for you. It sends a real query to each provider, shows the response time next to its name, and measures again when you change networks.

AdGuard, Canadian Shield, CleanBrowsing, Cloudflare, Control D, DNS4EU, Google, NextDNS, OpenDNS and Quad9, with the filtering options each one publishes for malware, ads and families.

A provider is included when it is free, needs no account, and publishes both its addresses and an encrypted endpoint. That leaves out resolvers that charge, that only answer for registered customers, or that offer no DNS over HTTPS or TLS. If yours is missing, Pro adds any DNS server by hand.

Yes, with Pro. Choose NextDNS, Control D, AdGuard DNS, Cloudflare Zero Trust or CleanBrowsing and paste your ID, or choose Pi-hole or AdGuard Home and enter its address. DNS Button builds the server for you, and any other DNS server can be added by hand.

Yes, with Pro. The resolvers you add sync through your own iCloud to every Mac, iPhone and iPad signed in to the same Apple Account. Settings and network rules stay on each device.

The providers are free to use, always, and so are their response times. Pro is $9.99 a year and adds custom DNS, iCloud sync, the leak test, the filter check, network rules and Focus filters, on every Mac, iPhone and iPad in your family. New subscribers get the first week free.

Yes. When a provider offers DNS over HTTPS or DNS over TLS, DNS Button uses it. Your own resolvers can use a DoH URL, a DoT server name or plain addresses. Either way, the setting covers every app on your device.

Yes. Many VPNs bring their own resolvers, which take over from any app. On a Mac, DNS Button checks the live setting every time you open the menu, and says Unrecognized when a resolver it doesn't know is answering. On any device, the leak test shows who's answering.

No. There's no analytics, no crash reporter, no advertising identifier and no account. There's no server of ours to send anything to, and your DNS lookups go straight to the provider you chose.

A DNS leak is when your lookups reach a resolver you didn't choose, usually your internet provider's, often while a VPN is supposed to be covering them. DNS Button's leak test runs through your device's own resolver, not a browser's, and never calls an inconclusive result a pass.

One thing: a DNS configuration you approve once in Settings. On a Mac it's under System Settings → Network → VPN & Filters, and on iPhone and iPad under Settings → General → VPN, DNS & Device Management. No helper tool and no background daemon. Turning DNS Button off pauses it, and removing it in the app's settings takes it out.

Mac with macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on Apple silicon or Intel, and iPhone and iPad with iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 or later. It's one App Store app for all three. Switching providers is free, and Pro is $9.99 a year for your whole family.

English, Chinese (Traditional), French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil) and Spanish, on Mac, iPhone and iPad. It uses the language your device is set to.
