In seconds, it discovers every device connected to your network and shows you exactly what each one is and which services it's running — all on-device.

KEY FEATURES • Fast host discovery — finds live devices on your subnet in seconds using parallel TCP probing, so devices show up even when they refuse connections. • Open port & service scan — check any port range (e.g. 1-1024 or 22,80,443) and see open ports with their service names and banners. • Smart device identification — discovers device names, types and manufacturers over mDNS / Bonjour: Chromecasts, Apple devices, printers, speakers, routers, NAS boxes and more are recognized automatically. • Live results — hosts appear the moment they're found and fill in details as the scan continues, with clear status colors for alive, open-ports, and offline. • Powerful filters — filter results by name, IP, open port or device type to zero in on exactly what you're looking for. • CSV export — share or save your scan results as a CSV file from the system share sheet. • Scan history — completed scans are saved automatically so you can review them any time and clear them with one tap. • Tunable performance — adjust concurrency and timeout, toggle hostname resolution, banner grabbing and mDNS discovery to balance speed and detail. • Beautiful, simple interface — auto-detects your network and suggests a scan range, so you can just tap Scan and go.
