Get my Mac’s computer name

May 20, 2023 by Tarik

Objective C

The name I was looking for is:

[[NSHost currentHost] localizedName];

It returns “Jonathan’s MacBook” rather than “Jonathans-Macbook”, or “jonathans-macbook.local” which just name returns.

Swift 3

For Swift >= 3 use.

if let deviceName = Host.current().localizedName {
   print(deviceName)
}
