Hotspot Planet safely stores the login details of the Wi-Fi networks you use most, so you can connect with a single tap from the list. Cafés, offices, schools, home routers — connect instantly without remembering or re-entering passwords. 【Key Features】 • One-tap connect — tap an item to instantly connect using the saved credentials • Home-screen widget — connect to your favorite networks right from the widget • QR code scan — add a hotspot easily by scanning a Wi-Fi QR code • WPA-Enterprise support — connect not only home networks (WPA/WPA2/WEP) but also enterprise/campus PEAP/MSCHAPv2 networks that require a username and server name • Secure storage — passwords are kept in the device's secure store (Keychain); secrets are never exposed to the widget • Biometric lock — protect editing with Face ID / Touch ID / passcode • Backup & restore — move your saved list when switching or reinstalling • iCloud sync — turn it on to keep your saved Wi-Fi list in sync across your devices via your own iCloud account (optional) • Current network display — see which Wi-Fi you're connected to in real time • Icons & colors — assign an icon and color to each item for quick recognition 【Good to Know】 • Supported security — home Wi-Fi with WEP, WPA, and WPA2 • Reorder — long-press the list to arrange items in any order • If the current-network status doesn't refresh, tap the "Refresh" button to check again • Connection works only when a saved Wi-Fi network is nearby • The developer does not collect the Wi-Fi information you add to the app 【Perfect for】 - Anyone tired of retyping Wi-Fi passwords across multiple places - People who frequently use WPA-Enterprise networks at work or school - Sharing Wi-Fi access quickly with family or colleagues - Anyone who wants to keep passwords secure By default, all processing happens on-device. If you turn on iCloud sync, your saved list is synced across your own devices through your iCloud account, and is never sent to the developer's servers.
