This app shows all websites in the local network which advertise themselves using the "bonjour" (DNS-SD) protocol. Clicking on an entry passes the URL to Safari for displaying the website. Note that the only purpose of this app is to quickly access configuration websites for example of local printers or IoT gadgets. The app does not list services other than http, and is not meant to be a full featured network services browser (there are already good apps for that). The app is in the AppStore for your convenience and as a way to support its development a bit, but it is open sourced on github, so you're welcome to get it from there and also to contribute enhancements!

EngineerTact is an offline field toolkit for engineers, land surveyors, RF technicians, and field operators across all domains — land, sea, and air. KEY FEATURES: • WGS84 Geodetic Coordinate Conversion — Convert between Geodetic (Lat/Lon/Alt) and ECEF (X/Y/Z) using the Bowring iterative algorithm. Real-time ENU Local Tangent Plane target tracking with bearing and range. • RF & Radar Calculator — Compute Free Space Path Loss (FSPL), Radar Line of Sight (4/3-Earth model), first Fresnel Zone radius, and signal wavelength. All calculations run on-device. • Mission Brief Planner — Build complete field mission briefs with route distance (Haversine), bearing in degrees and NATO mils, estimated time of arrival, and RF link margin. Save and reload briefs on-device. • Aerospace & Maritime Converter — Convert speed (knots, km/h, m/s, Mach), altitude (ft, m, FL), pressure (hPa, inHg, psi), and ISA atmospheric parameters with full unit coverage. • Number Base & Data Converter — Convert between decimal, hexadecimal, binary, and octal. IEEE 754 float analysis. Bit-width calculator. • Formulas & Reference — Full mathematical reference for FSPL, WGS84 geodesy, Haversine, radar horizon, Fresnel zone, and NATO unit standards. All calculations are performed entirely on-device. No network connection, no account, no tracking, no ads. Designed and engineered by Fırat Bozkaya.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: EngineerTact at fortnightly against LocalSites's every 23 months. LocalSites's advantage is iOS requirement (9.3 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
