Rumskrot Beacon is a network toolbelt for iPhone and iPad. When something is down, it tells you where the path breaks. When nothing is down yet, it grades your TLS, audits your domain's email DNS and warns you before a certificate expires. Nineteen native tools, all running on your device.
FIND WHERE IT BREAKS
• Diagnose runs DNS, ping, TCP, TLS and HTTP against a host in order, then gives one plain verdict about which step failed.
• Ping charts every packet's round trip, plus the average across your past runs against the same host.
• MTR is a continuous traceroute with loss and latency per hop.
AUDIT BEFORE IT BREAKS
• TLS audit checks protocol support (TLS 1.0 to 1.3), HSTS and the certificate chain, then gives an A+ to F grade. Results fill in as each check lands.
• Domain audit checks MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, CAA and BIMI together and gives one posture verdict: Secure, Partial or Misconfigured.
• Cert dashboard lists every host you have audited, most urgent expiry first. Add a host and its audit runs in the background.
EXPLORE THE LOCAL NETWORK
• The mDNS / Bonjour browser lists the services on your network, grouped by type and resolved to address and port.
• Port scan, My network, Subnet calculator and ASN lookup round out the picture.
EVERY RESULT IS A STARTING POINT
• Every IP, host and port a tool finds has a routing menu. Resolved an A record? Send the IP to Ping. Found an open port? Send host:port to the TLS inspector or HTTP probe. No retyping.
• Found an SSH or VNC service? Open it in Rumskrot Terminal or Rumskrot Remote in one tap.
CHAIN IT, SAVE IT, AUTOMATE IT
• Templates chain several tools into a single run. Start from presets like "API endpoint health check" and "Mailserver health check", or build your own.
• Every tool is an App Intent, so Shortcuts can run any probe or template.
• Saved targets put the hosts you check most on the home screen, one tap from a re-run.
• Run history records your probes so you can reopen or repeat them. It keeps up to 100 runs per tool and target for 90 days, always preserving the latest result.
• curl builds full HTTP requests with method, headers and body, and can copy them out as a curl command.
• You can tap any IP, hostname, header or record to copy it, and every result panel copies out as text.
• Live network throughput stays in the toolbar. Tap for per-interface charts, or hide it in Settings.
ON YOUR WRIST
The watch companion checks HTTP reachability and looks up DNS records over HTTPS through Cloudflare's public resolver. Reachability measures HTTP response time; DNS results reflect the public resolver rather than private network DNS.
THE FULL SET
Diagnose, TLS audit, Domain audit, Cert dashboard, Templates, Ping, Traceroute, MTR, DNS lookup, Reverse DNS, WHOIS, HTTP probe, curl, TLS inspector, Port scan, mDNS browser, My network, Subnet calculator and ASN lookup. Each one is built in Swift on Apple's networking frameworks, with no web wrapper.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Everything runs on your device. There is no Beacon server.
• No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs, no accounts.
• Probes go straight from your device to the host you typed.
• History and saved targets are stored only on your device.
MORE FROM RUMSKROT
• Rumskrot Terminal: an SSH client with tmux and SFTP.
• Rumskrot Remote: remote-desktop control for the Macs and PCs on your network.
Beacon hands off to both when it finds an SSH or VNC service.
