## What is PacketCircle?

PacketCircle turns packet captures into a clear picture of who is talking to whom.

Instead of scrolling endless packet lists, you see communication pairs as an interactive circle: endpoints on the rim, conversations as edges, colors by protocol or session quality. Ideal when you need to understand a capture quickly — on site, in a meeting, or reviewing a file someone sent you.

What you can do 
• Open PCAP and PCAPNG captures
• Explore Top talkers on a circle, table, or gauges view
• Filter by protocol and focus on the conversations that matter
• Inspect session health, ports/services, and application hints
• Jump into a Wireshark-style decode (packet list, protocol tree, hex)
• Follow TCP streams and export a conversation as PCAP

Built for analysis, not noise
PacketCircle is a native iOS app with a shared engine designed for conversation-centric troubleshooting — DNS, HTTP, TLS, SMB, and more when the payload is visible — without requiring Wireshark on your phone.

Open a capture. See the circle. Understand the network.

Made with love for the packet community.
