PacketCircle turns packet captures into a clear picture of who is talking to whom. Instead of scrolling endless packet lists, you see communication pairs as an interactive circle: endpoints on the rim, conversations as edges, colors by protocol or session quality. Ideal when you need to understand a capture quickly β on site, in a meeting, or reviewing a file someone sent you. What you can do β’ Open PCAP and PCAPNG captures β’ Explore Top talkers on a circle, table, or gauges view β’ Filter by protocol and focus on the conversations that matter β’ Inspect session health, ports/services, and application hints β’ Jump into a Wireshark-style decode (packet list, protocol tree, hex) β’ Follow TCP streams and export a conversation as PCAP Built for analysis, not noise PacketCircle is a native iOS app with a shared engine designed for conversation-centric troubleshooting β DNS, HTTP, TLS, SMB, and more when the payload is visible β without requiring Wireshark on your phone. Open a capture. See the circle. Understand the network. Made with love for the packet community.
