PingKit - Network Tools

This release makes the Mac Agent work the way PingKit has always described it. • Your Guardian subscription now unlocks PingKit Agent on your Mac. A fault meant iPhone subscriptions were never sent through to the Mac, so the Agent kept asking people to buy something they had already paid for. If that happened to you, installing this update is all it takes, and there is nothing to buy again. • Pairing your iPhone with your Mac no longer needs a code. Both apps use your own private iCloud account to find each other, so you confirm your Mac by name instead of memorising six digits. The code is still there as a fallback. • Pairing used to report success no matter what was typed. Any six digits produced "Paired successfully" and then nothing worked. Pairing now succeeds only when the two devices have genuinely connected, and says so plainly when they have not. • Pairing now works with every keyboard PingKit supports. Number keyboards that produce full-width or Arabic-Indic digits used to fail without explanation. • Unpairing now closes the connection instead of leaving it open. • If two Macs are running the Agent on one network, you now choose which one to pair with rather than getting whichever answered first. • Cert Monitor is now free for one domain, permanently, expiry alerts included. It could previously only be seen by Guardian Plus subscribers. • Cert Monitor and Uptime Watch could get stuck on a sign-in error that nothing on the device could clear. They now recover on their own. • Reaching an AI usage limit is now explained on screen. Subscribers previously saw nothing happen at all. • Getting PingKit for Mac no longer sits behind the Guardian paywall. The Agent is a free download. All 19 tools, your full history and its CSV, JSON and PDF exports stay free and unlimited.
