One-letter capability tags show you at a glance which devices are pingable, run a web interface, speak Bonjour or UPnP, or serve as your gateway. Tap any device to ping it, open its admin page in-app, rename it, favorite it, or mark it for later. New devices get flagged automatically, so an unfamiliar gadget on your WiFi never slips past you. A full network toolbox — free: • LAN Scanner — fast sweep with smart device naming, custom names & icons, new-device badges • Subnet Calculator — CIDR math, IP-in-subnet checks, VLSM splitting, range-to-CIDR aggregation.
