Codable is a lightweight web developer toolkit for iPhone and iPad. Use the Safari extension to inspect pages where they already run. Select elements inline, browse the DOM tree, view HTML, inspect styles and node metadata, evaluate JavaScript, capture console output, view source, inspect resources, and review network activity. On supported devices, on-device Apple Intelligence can be used to find elements and perform edits. The main app has three tabs for development and testing: - Resize: a browser surface for testing responsive layouts with custom viewport width, height, scale, presets, and drag handles. - Scratchpad: a JavaScript editor and runner with syntax coloring, code-focused keyboard shortcuts, document support, and optional Apple Intelligence assistance on supported devices. - Extension: a small info page with instructions on how to enable the Safari extension, and a way to view a local demo page with CSS, JavaScript, resources, console logs, and network requests to try out the tools within Safari. Optional support Codable is free to use. The companion app’s Tip Jar offers optional, repeatable one-time purchases through Apple. Tips unlock no features and are not subscriptions.

About

My Network Scanner (MyNeS)

Features
Read full description

MyNeS (My Network Scanner) turns your phone into a full home-network scanner. No server, no Docker, no pairing, no account — the scanning engine runs entirely on your device. Open the app on your Wi-Fi and MyNeS finds the devices around you and tells you what they are: manufacturer, model, type and operating system, pieced together from IP, MAC address, vendor (OUI), hostnames and the services each device advertises. WHAT YOU GET • Fast discovery — a ping/TCP sweep plus mDNS/Bonjour, SSDP/UPnP and optional Bluetooth LE finds Wi-Fi and nearby Bluetooth devices. • Real identification — vendor from the MAC address, device type and OS from the services a device exposes. Rename devices and add your own notes. • Identify with AI (optional) — tap to send a device's technical facts to our hosted service for a manufacturer/model/type guess when the offline heuristics aren't sure. • Security view — flags open ports, default-credential risks and known-CVE fingerprints on the gear you own, with links to the advisories. • Alerts & history — see what joined or left your network over time, and get a notification when something new appears (optional background scanning). • Home Assistant (optional) — connect your own instance to cross-check its device list against a live scan. • Private by design — no accounts, no analytics, no ads, no trackers. Your scan results and settings stay on your device. PERMISSIONS • Local Network — to discover devices on your Wi-Fi (this is the scan). • Bluetooth — only if you turn on Bluetooth LE discovery. • Notifications — only if you enable background scan alerts. MyNeS does not use your location. It is the mobile edition of the open-source My Network Scanner (MyNeS) project.
