xDesk vs Network Tools

Why switch between five apps when one will do? xDesk is the Swiss Army knife of your personal data: an archive you build yourself, where everything has a card and every card has its place. Notes, photos, scanned documents, recordings with their transcript, deadlines, the grocery list, contacts, routes. One app, and the same one in your pocket, on the table, on the desk and on your wrist: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch. NO SERVERS, NO SIGN-UP Your data lives in your iCloud. We don't ask for an account, we don't ask for an email, we have no servers to put it on: we never had any. What you write in xDesk is yours, stays yours, and is seen only by you and the people you choose to share it with. A CARD FOR EVERYTHING A folder for the house, one for the car, one for clients, one for grandma and her recipes. You build each card yourself, as a grid: text, numbers, dates, photos, maps, QR codes, drawings, signatures. Twenty seconds. Or start from one of sixteen ready-made models: document, vehicle, warranty, Wi-Fi network, subscription, meeting, list. RECORD, AND IT BECOMES TEXT A recorder that writes down what it hears, on your phone, without sending the audio to anyone. If there are two of you, it tells the voices apart. A scanner that straightens crooked pages and turns them into a PDF. A calendar that picks the deadlines out of every card and puts them on your first page, with a countdown. SHARE WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY A folder shared through iCloud: the grocery list your kids update from their phone, quotes with colleagues, site photos with the crew. Inside there is also the space's chat, end-to-end encrypted, so the important thing sits next to the thing it refers to. WALK, TRAVEL, TRAIN Record a route, plan the stops of a trip with computed times, keep your heart rate from the watch. It all ends up in cards, like everything else. FREE TO START The free part stays free: unlimited cards and folders, the recorder, the scanner, one shared folder. When xDesk becomes the way you work there is xDesk Pro: full transcripts with speakers told apart, unlimited models, PDFs with your letterhead, messages in shared spaces, the password vault. Monthly, yearly, or once and forever. Next time someone asks "where did you put it?", answer with a tap. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

A network engineer's toolkit that runs entirely on your iPhone. Seventeen tools, no account, no server of ours, and nothing about you collected. THE TOOLS • Ping — ICMP latency and packet loss, with a live chart • Traceroute — the hop-by-hop path, each router named • LAN scan — every device on your subnet, named and identified: routers, NAS boxes, printers, Macs, phones • Port scan — TCP connect scan with banners and service names, from a handful of ports to all 65535 • DNS — your own wire-format resolver: every record type at once, any public resolver you choose, DNS-over-HTTPS, reverse lookups, and a comparison mode that queries five resolvers and flags the one that disagrees • HTTP check — status, redirect chain, the DNS/connect/TLS/TTFB split, security headers • TLS — the full certificate chain, expiry, SANs, cipher suite, and whether the system trusts it • WHOIS — the referral chain followed to the registrar that actually holds the record • Wi-Fi — link quality graded against local thresholds, and a walking survey that compares rooms • Speed test — download, upload, latency and jitter, against Cloudflare or a URL you name • iperf3 — throughput against your own iperf3 server, up or down, multi-stream • IP calculator — CIDR maths, masks, host ranges, binary, and subnet division including VLSM • MAC lookup — 39,000 vendor prefixes, bundled and fully offline • Wake on LAN — the magic packet, sent to every address that might reach a sleeping machine • Network interfaces — addresses, subnets, flags and live throughput • Telnet — a raw TCP terminal for switches, PDUs and console servers • SSH — see below A REAL SSH CLIENT Not a wrapper. The protocol is implemented in Swift, and it does the things you actually need from a phone: • Jump hosts — reach a machine behind one bastion or several, each hop with its own account, its own credential and its own host key to confirm • Port forwarding — bind a local port to a service on the far side, then open it in a browser inside the app: a router's web interface, a database, a dashboard listening only on the server's loopback • scp — send a file up or pull one down, straight to the Files app • ssh-copy-id — put your public key in a server's authorized_keys without a second terminal • Keys — generate ed25519 on the device, or import ed25519, ECDSA and RSA in OpenSSH or PEM form, protected or not. Private keys live in the Keychain and can be exported under a passphrase when you need them elsewhere • Snippets — the commands you always type, one tap above the keyboard • A proper terminal — a real VT/xterm emulator, so vim and htop work, with esc, ctrl, alt, arrows and F-keys on a row of their own
