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. It’s like a level 9 detect devices spell for your network! Key features: * Home Radar push alerts: know the moment a device joins or leaves your Wi-Fi, on iPhone and Apple Watch * Network DVR: scrub back through your network's history and see exactly what changed and when * Remote Scans via iCloud: check your home network from anywhere, straight from your iPhone * Automatic vendor identification for discovered devices * Bluetooth device name detection for clearer device identity * Full IPv6 support * Extremely fast scan results * Customizable results - assign your own names and icons to discovered devices * Save and consult past scans * PING, Wake on LAN and Port Scan tools built right in * Option to open a device in browser, VNC or other applications * Save and import custom device lists, or sync via iCloud * Sort network list by device name, IP address, MAC address or Last Seen * System level notifications for newly discovered devices and changes in device state * Add custom network ranges * Import/export scan results via email or bonjour * Clean, professional design that is super easy to use Whether you’re a casual home user or a network professional, IP Scanner Ultra is all about customizing the way you view and analyze your network. You may apply custom names and icons to the devices on your network and adjust the type and amount of information you see in the network overview; don't need to see the MAC address column... don't display it! Text too small... make it larger! We also include a whitelist feature that lets you filter out known and trusted devices to reveal new or unexpected ones, a great way to easily identify unwanted network visitors. IP Scanner Ultra can be used in several primary modes such as: * A quick overview of which devices are currently on the network, including seeing which devices are actively and passively present * A “Cumulative Mode” that shows network changes over time, including options to display devices which were once present but now no longer visible.

NetAdmin is a complete network administration toolkit for your local network. Scan a subnet, see every device that answers, and drill into each host: reachability, round-trip time, open ports, hostname, MAC and vendor. Everything runs on-device — no accounts, nothing to sign up for. DISCOVER YOUR NETWORK • Fast subnet ping sweep with a live reachable/latency readout • Per-host detail: hostname, MAC address, OUI vendor and country, open ports, IPv6 addresses • Device Identity: on-device brand/model/OS fingerprinting from UPnP/mDNS/hostname/OUI signals • Bonjour / mDNS service discovery across ~40 service types (AirPlay, HomeKit, printers, file sharing, and more) • Bluetooth LE device inventory • Automatic device-type classification and icons • Rename any host, and add notes and tags that survive re-scans • Custom scan port list, and CSV export of hosts, Bonjour and Bluetooth results MONITOR IN REAL TIME • Live ping-reply latency and packet-loss graphs, per host • RTT min / avg / max / current / jitter and loss statistics • Optional automatic re-scan on a schedule you choose • New-device alerts: get notified when a never-before-seen device joins • Scan Diff: compare two scans to see which devices were added, removed, or changed • Digital Presence: person-to-device profiles, who's-home status, and a network event timeline • SNMP Walk over v1, v2c and v3 (USM authentication + privacy, SHA/AES) • Module-grouped MIB tree browser with filter and search • Import your own private MIB files • Live monitoring: pick numeric OIDs (counters, gauges, timeticks) and graph them over time • Save walks and export results as TXT or CSV • Pull the ARP table to auto-fill host MAC addresses TOOLS HUB • Subnet Calculator — netmask, wildcard, network, broadcast and usable host range from any CIDR • DNS Lookup — A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, PTR, NS, SOA, SRV, CAA, SSHFP records and a DNSSEC indicator • DNS Benchmark — ranks public DNS resolvers (Cloudflare, Google, Quad9, OpenDNS, AdGuard) by response time • DHCP Discovery — best-effort enumeration of DHCP servers on your LAN • Port Checker — test whether a TCP port is open and read its service banner • HTTP / TLS Inspector — response headers plus certificate common name, issuer, validity and SANs • Speed Test — 10-second parallel measurement per direction with loaded latency (bufferbloat), an animated gauge, selectable servers (Cloudflare or public LibreSpeed), history and a trend chart • Security Audit — on-device network security score (A–F) from risky open LAN ports and a router UPnP/IGD exposure audit • Port Forwards — view, add and remove your router's UPnP port forwards, all on-device • Wake-on-LAN — save named groups of devices and wake them together • Topology Map — a visual map of the devices around your gateway • Wi-Fi Scanner (Mac) — nearby access points via CoreWLAN: SSID, signal, channel, band and security MORE NETWORK TOOLS • Traceroute with per-hop geolocation, on-demand WHOIS, and a full-screen map on iPhone • Ping Test to any host or domain with latency and loss graphs • Network topology and interface details, public IP, Wi-Fi information MADE FOR YOUR DEVICES • Universal three-column layout that adapts from iPhone to iPad to Mac • Save multiple networks and review them offline • iCloud sync keeps your saved SNMP servers and bookmarks in step across your devices • Privacy option to mask the device-specific half of MAC addresses PRIVACY NetAdmin works entirely on your device and over your local network — no analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. Location is used only to read the current Wi-Fi name (to label saved networks) and, on Mac, to list nearby access points in the Wi-Fi Scanner; Bluetooth and Local Network access are used only to discover the devices you scan.
