See the devices on your Wi-Fi and check for Bluetooth trackers that keep showing up near you. All scans are free and need no account. Pro only removes ads. Scan the Wi-Fi network you are connected to and review the devices found on it, including equipment discovered through LAN, UPnP and mDNS lookups. If something appears that you do not recognize, Dot shows you the details available so you can look into it further. Monitor nearby Bluetooth and BLE activity, and review which devices show up repeatedly across different places and times. Recurrence is worth a closer look, although on its own it does not establish that a device is following you. What Dot can help you review: - Devices connected to your current Wi-Fi network, with the details available for each one - Router and local network service exposure - Nearby Bluetooth devices, and which of them recur across locations or days - Magnetic field anomalies that may indicate concealed electronics nearby - Reflective points and infrared light sources, using your camera as a manual inspection aid - A practical guide to places worth checking, and sensible next steps when something seems unfamiliar A note on what these results mean. Dot reports observations and risk indicators rather than conclusions. Radio conditions, iOS permissions, and the identifiers a device chooses to broadcast all affect what can be seen. A quiet scan does not prove that a space is clear, and an unfamiliar device is not by itself evidence of surveillance. The aim is to give you better information about your surroundings so you can make your own judgment. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

# Key Features: - Automatic network scan: finds every device connected to your router with its name and IP (and MAC when the router provides it), with an icon for each: phone, TV, computer, printer, camera - Better device names: resolves names via Bonjour, mDNS, NetBIOS, UPnP and your router's DNS, and you can rename any device - Organise your devices: mark a device as trusted, put it in a group (Family, Kids, Guests, Smart home, Work) and pick its icon yourself - Smart router detection: identifies your router's address and brand (TP-Link, MikroTik, Huawei...) automatically - Full MikroTik support: sign in, block devices from the internet, per-device usage, DHCP names, and the servers and services a device connected to (password kept in the Keychain) - Automatic blocking on OpenWrt, plus a step-by-step guide to block a device manually on other router brands - Open the admin page: jump to your router settings with one tap - Continuous monitoring: see who joins and leaves your network, with a connect/disconnect event log and background scanning - Device history: keeps a record of every device that has ever connected - Bilingual interface: full Arabic and English # Security: - New device alerts: a "New" badge and a notification when a device you haven't seen before appears - Network security score: out of 100, with clear reasons - Risky port alerts: detects 30+ dangerous ports such as RDP, SMB, Telnet, VNC, databases and camera streams, and explains in plain Arabic and English what the risk is and what to do - Deep port scan: for any device on your network - Quiet-hours alert: a notification when a device connects at an unusual time - Presence tracking: know when a family member's device arrives or leaves - Cameras: open the camera's own page inside the app and sign in with your credentials, or copy the RTSP link - App lock with Face ID or your passcode, and Guest mode that hides sensitive details # Speed & Tools: - Download, upload, latency and jitter tests, with a full history (24 hours, 7 or 30 days) and CSV export - Alert when your speed drops below the limit you set - Internet outage monitoring: the length of each outage, with a log you can export for your ISP - Tools: Ping, Traceroute, custom port scan and Wake-on-LAN - DNS server comparison - Per-device latency, a network map, a weekly summary and a PDF report - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and Siri Shortcuts # Private & Trustworthy: Scanning happens locally inside your network, and your device list stays on your phone. No account, no ads, no tracking. The app contacts outside services in only three cases: the speed test (Cloudflare), looking up your public IP and ISP, and identifying a manufacturer from the first 3 bytes of a MAC address. Automatic blocking and per-device statistics work with MikroTik routers (and OpenWrt for blocking); other brands are identified and shown with a link to the admin panel and a manual blocking guide. Ideal for anyone who wants to protect their network and know who is connected to it!
