NetBeat vs SentryPing

NetBeat is a powerful network diagnostics toolkit that puts essential networking tools in your pocket. Whether you're a network engineer, sysadmin, developer, or power user, NetBeat gives you fast, reliable insights into network performance and DNS infrastructure. ICMP Ping Measure round-trip latency to any host or IP address. Watch real-time results with a live latency chart, detailed statistics (min/avg/max/jitter), and packet loss tracking. Configurable TTL, packet size, send interval, and retry count. DNS Lookup Query DNS records for any domain. Supports A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, SOA, and PTR record types. See resolved IPv4 and IPv6 addresses with lookup timing. WHOIS Look up domain registration details including registrar, creation date, expiration date, name servers, and registrant information via the RDAP protocol. Traceroute Trace the network path to any destination hop by hop. See each router's IP address, hostname, and round-trip time. Identify where latency spikes or packet loss occurs. History All your checks are saved automatically. Filter by tool type and review past results at a glance. Additional Features • Configurable settings for timeout, TTL, packet size, and more • Light, Dark, and System theme options • Haptic feedback for ping events • Clean, intuitive interface • No ads, no tracking, no account required

SentryPing keeps an eye on your websites, APIs, and servers — and tells you the moment something goes down, right from your pocket. Add an endpoint, and SentryPing checks it in the background and alerts you on outages and recoveries. Everything runs on-device: no account, no sign-up, no tracking. MONITOR ANYTHING • Watch any URL or host — websites, REST APIs, health checks, home servers • Set expected status codes, a latency ceiling, check interval, and a failure threshold to avoid false alarms • See status at a glance: Up, Degraded, or Down GLANCEABLE, EVERYWHERE • Home Screen widgets with your status summary and top monitors • Lock Screen widgets — circular, rectangular, and inline • Live Activity + Dynamic Island: watch an outage's downtime tick up in real time • A "Check Now" control for the Lock Screen and Control Center — also available in Shortcuts and Siri SMART ALERTS • Get notified when a monitor goes down, and again when it recovers • Debounced so a single blip won't spam you ON YOUR WRIST • A SentryPing app for Apple Watch — your status summary and every monitor at a glance • Kept up to date by your iPhone automatically FIND DEVICES • Find the devices on the network you're connected to — router, NAS, printer, home server • See each device's address and which common ports answered, then add it as a monitor in a tap • Everything happens on your device; nothing about your network leaves it QUICK PING • One-tap "ping ×3" to any URL over HTTP, or any device on your network over ICMP — even a router, NAS, or printer with no web server • See per-request latency plus a min / avg / max summary — like ping, in your pocket HISTORY & INSIGHT • Latency sparkline, uptime %, recent checks, and an incident log for every monitor PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Fully on-device. Your endpoints and tokens never leave your iPhone. Note: background checks are best-effort — iOS decides when apps may run in the background.
