About

Local Network Inspector

Features
Read full description

Local Network Inspector is a one-time purchase utility for checking what changed on a local network. Run a local inspection, compare the current scan with a saved baseline, spot new, missing, or changed devices, review watched ports, and prepare a practical change report, Router Handoff Proof, or Outage Evidence Packet for a roommate, client, ISP, or support desk. It is built for homeowners, studio desks, small offices, and prosumers who want a readable before-and-after network record without a heavy sysadmin dashboard. Use Local Network Inspector to: - Compare a current scan with a saved baseline - Spot new, missing, or changed devices - Review watched local ports - Copy an outage evidence packet with window, impact, failed check, recovery check, and support ask - Copy a router handoff proof with readiness, next action, owner, and export name - Keep the workflow local without an account, ads, analytics, tracking, cloud sync, or developer-server upload Network results can vary by router permissions, iOS privacy prompts, VPN settings, and local network configuration.
