## What is IP Trackers?

IP Trackers shows you the actual path your packets take across the internet. Enter any host or IP, run a trace, and watch each hop appear — then see the whole route drawn on a world map.

TRACE ANY HOST
• Fast ICMP traceroute to any host name or IP address
• Every hop with its round-trip time, reverse DNS name and IP
• Timeout hops are marked so you can spot filtering routers at a glance
• TCP fallback: destinations that drop ICMP (many large portals and CDNs) are still confirmed via a TCP handshake, so traces complete instead of timing out
• Stop a long trace at any time

SEE THE ROUTE ON A MAP
• Public hops are geolocated (city, region, country, ISP) and plotted on a world map
• The route is drawn hop-to-hop so you can see where your traffic actually travels
• Select a hop in the list to highlight it on the map

DIG INTO ANY HOP
• Per-hop detail: TTL, IP, reverse DNS, round-trip time and location
• On-demand WHOIS lookup of the hop's registrant — organization, net name, net range, country
• Full raw WHOIS text one tap away, ready to share

TRACE HISTORY
• Every completed trace is saved automatically
• Reopen any past trace from the bookmark button — hops, locations and map restore instantly, no re-trace needed

MADE FOR YOUR DEVICES
• iPhone: a map-first layout — full-screen route map, floating search bar, and the hop list in a draggable bottom sheet
• iPad and Mac: hop list and map side by side
• Fast, lightweight, and entirely on-device — no account, no sign-up

PRIVACY
IP Trackers has no analytics, no tracking, and no third-party SDKs. Hop coordinates come from a public IP-geolocation service; WHOIS lookups go directly to the regional registries. Nothing about you is collected or stored.

## Key features

- Visual traceroute with map animation
- Automatic WHOIS database information retrieval
- Extracts contact details from WHOIS data

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.2 — 2026-07-29

This release focuses on iPad and Mac.

• The route map now appears on screen from the start, instead of a placeholder panel that stayed until you ran a trace
• New ∧ / ∨ buttons step through the plotted hops, recentring the map and scrolling the hop list to match — the same controls iPhone already had
• Fixed: with no hop selected, the ∨ button used to jump to a dead end (usually an early hop) instead of starting at the destination and walking back toward you
• Fixed: hop-list text was cut off with an ellipsis instead of wrapping
• When a finished trace has hops but none can be placed on the map, a note over the map now explains why

### 2.0.1 — 2026-07-27

Version 2.0.1 refines the trace screen:

• The host field moves into the navigation bar, so the map gets more room; Trace and Stop are now icons
• New ∧ / ∨ buttons step through the hops plotted on the map, recentring as you go and scrolling the list to match
• The selected hop is easier to read against the map
• When hop locations can't be looked up, the app now tells you why instead of quietly leaving the map empty

### 2.0.0 — 2026-07-19

Version 2.0 is a complete rewrite in Swift and SwiftUI — faster, lighter, and now native on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

• Live hop-by-hop tracing with round-trip times and reverse DNS
• Hops geolocated and plotted on a world map as the trace runs
• Per-hop detail with on-demand WHOIS (organization, net range, raw text)
• TCP fallback reaches destinations that block ICMP — traces complete instead of timing out
• Trace history: completed traces are saved and restorable from the bookmark button
• iPhone: map-first layout with a floating search bar and a draggable hop sheet; hop list and map side by side on iPad and Mac
• Rebuilt trace engine — no more waiting for the whole trace to finish

### 1.1.4 — 2019-12-02

dark mode support

### 1.1.3 — 2016-01-29

- 5.5in screen support
- MaxMind GeoLite2 support
- email bug fix
