Netti is a modern network utility where technology and design come together. Powerful networking tools no longer have to feel complicated — Netti makes them accessible, intuitive, and genuinely pleasant to use. Analyze your network, test its performance, and understand how your device connects to the internet. Monitor Wi-Fi, Cellular, Ethernet, VPN, and iCloud Private Relay, verify IP masking, identify your ISP, and discover the external IP address used by each connection. Netti can also monitor your connection in the background. Internet Connectivity Checker detects when internet access is lost or restored, Security Network Checker tracks VPN and iCloud Private Relay protection, and Network Status Checker monitors changes between Wi-Fi, Cellular, and Ethernet. 1. VPN VPN is now built directly into Netti. Establish a secure VPN connection without leaving the app and protect your network traffic while connected to the internet. Netti integrates VPN with its existing network analysis tools, allowing you to see how your connection changes when VPN protection is active and verify the external IP address used by the VPN connection. 2. Speed Test Speed Test gives you a clear and direct way to measure network performance. It helps you understand connection quality, throughput, latency, and responsiveness through both local network and external internet testing. Local Network Testing Measure how quickly devices exchange data within your local network. This helps reveal the real performance of your router, Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection, and connected devices — independently of your internet connection. External Internet Testing Measure real-world internet performance using a global network of public test servers. Netti currently provides access to 190 servers across 60 countries, giving you a broader view of your internet connection and its performance across different locations. Premium Servers For more consistent and reliable testing, Netti also includes a selection of Premium Servers. This feature is currently in preview and available to everyone. 3. System Transfer Benchmark Measure your device's internal data-transfer performance without involving the network. This benchmark reflects the efficiency of your device's network stack, CPU, memory bus, and overall data path, making it useful for comparing device performance. It can also help estimate the maximum transfer speeds your device can sustain under ideal network conditions, where the network itself is not the limiting factor. 4. Network Information Get a detailed view of how your device connects to the network and the internet. Netti can also help verify whether VPN or iCloud Private Relay is active and whether your external IP address is being masked as expected. Available information includes: - Local IP address - External IP address - IP address location - Internet Service Provider (ISP) - Network equipment manufacturer, when available Information can be analyzed across Wi-Fi, Cellular, Ethernet, VPN, and iCloud Private Relay connections. 5. Ping Check whether a server is reachable and measure its response time. Choose a test duration of 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 5 minutes, or indefinitely. Results are available as either a visual graph or a detailed text log for deeper technical analysis. 6. Trace Route See the path network packets take from your device to a remote server. Trace Route can help identify latency, packet loss, and problematic nodes along the route. Results can be explored in two ways: visually on a map, or through a detailed text log for technical analysis. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Read full description

Turn your Meshtastic radio into an offline activity recorder and navigation companion. MeshFind connects directly to a paired Meshtastic radio over Bluetooth and records the GPS positions supplied by the radio you choose. Create detailed route maps without cell service, review distance, time, pace, and elevation, then export a standard GPX file for Strava or another compatible service. RECORD YOUR MOVEMENT • Track the connected radio automatically or select another GPS node on your mesh • Request high-detail local GPS fixes without increasing high-frequency mesh broadcasts • Keep recordings alive while the app is in the background • Use Wander Mode to pause lingering time and GPS drift, then resume automatically when you move NAVIGATE OFFLINE • Create, color-code, tag, edit, import, and export waypoints • See waypoints and selected friends on a live heading band • Open a full-screen directional arrow with bearing and distance remaining • Select exact map squares to download before leaving service FIND FRIENDS AND RADIOS • Show only the mesh nodes you explicitly select as friends • Exchange your associated radios with another Meshstrava user by QR code • Rename friend devices and request an updated position when network rules allow • Remember paired radios and their last received positions as findable waypoints RADIO-AWARE SETUP • Review connected-radio GPS, channel, firmware, battery, and supported temperature telemetry • Use a guided provisioning wizard and plain-language setup checks • Protect event-managed configurations with Burning Mesh Event Safe Mode • Reconnect automatically to a remembered Bluetooth radio Meshstrava is local-first. No Meshstrava account or web server is required for core recording and navigation. Meshtastic-compatible GPS radio hardware is required for live radio features. Device capabilities and update frequency depend on the radio, firmware, configuration, and mesh conditions. Meshstrava is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Meshtastic, Strava, LowMesh, or OpenStreetMap.
