Flame Services Browser vs KozBon

Flame is a browser for Bonjour (also known as ZeroConf) network services. It lists the services advertised on your wireless network and you can browse them by server. When selecting a service, its advertised details are displayed. You can copy any of the service details by long-pressing a row. If an application on your iPhone or iPod touch can handle any of the advertised services, a command to open it right away is provided.

Discover, broadcast, and understand every Bonjour service on your network — with AI-powered insights built in. KozBon scans your local network in real time and shows you every Bonjour (mDNS/DNS-SD) service nearby: printers, smart-home devices, media streamers, development tools, and more. Tap any service for full details — hostnames, IP addresses, ports, and TXT metadata — or long-press for an AI-generated explanation of what it does and why it's on your network.
