Who's on your Wi-Fi right now? Which IP addresses are taken, which are free, and what is that one device you don't recognize? HomeNetIP turns your router's cryptic list of numbers into a clear, living picture of your home network — in seconds. Tap once and watch your network come to life. HomeNetIP scans your Wi-Fi and fills in every device live, in real time, showing each one's name, IP address and vendor. No more guessing whether that unknown gadget is your new smart bulb or someone you'd rather not have on your network. SEE EVERYTHING INSTANTLY Bonjour, mDNS, SSDP and active ping discovery work together to find phones, laptops, TVs, consoles, printers, smart-home gear — and the things you forgot you owned — all appearing live as the scan runs. SMART INSIGHTS THAT ACT HomeNetIP studies your network and tells you exactly what to do next — then walks you through it on a dedicated, guided screen: • New or unknown device on your Wi-Fi? Get alerted so you can spot a guest or an intruder. • IP conflicts caught before they knock something offline. • Devices that still need a name, a room or a category — fixed in a tap. • Reserve a static IP, with a step-by-step router recipe and one-tap copy of the address. • Identify an unknown manufacturer — auto-suggested from the device's MAC. • Warranty ending soon, duplicate entries, empty rooms, randomized (private) MACs, and more. CHECK YOUR ROUTER Run a live ping diagnostic on your gateway and open its admin page in a single tap. ORGANIZE YOUR HOME Group devices into rooms and categories that match real life — the kids' room, the office, the living room. Read your IP map at a glance. Wake a sleeping computer with Wake-on-LAN before you walk into the room. EXPORT ANYTHING Save your full device list as CSV, Excel, Word or PDF to share, archive or document your setup. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your network data lives on your device and syncs only through your own private iCloud. There's no account to create, no server of ours to trust, and nothing about your home is ever sent to us — no ads, no analytics, ever. Lock the app behind Face ID for an extra layer of privacy. FREE & PREMIUM HomeNetIP is free to download and use for up to 2 rooms and 20 devices. Unlock unlimited rooms and devices with a single one-time Premium purchase — a one-time unlock, not a subscription, and never will be. Designed for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Stop guessing what's on your Wi-Fi. Download HomeNetIP and finally see your home network clearly.
