Home Radar: always know what's on your Wi-Fi. An old phone reconnects while you're out. A laptop joins the office network at 2am. Something you don't recognize appears next to your TV. Home Radar tells you the moment it happens: a push alert on iPhone and Apple Watch, a morning briefing of overnight changes, and a Network DVR timeline to scrub back through. Remote Scans checks in from anywhere. IP Scanner Ultra bundles our award-winning Mac, iPhone and iPad apps together with new Apple TV, Apple Watch and Vision Pro versions - 6 apps in one. Scan your local area network to determine the identity of all machines and internet devices on the LAN. Powerful results, yet easy and intuitive to use.
