mDNSShark vs LANScanner

mDNSShark is an open-source iPhone app that shows what is on your local network. It uses Multicast DNS (mDNS), DNS-SD, and SSDP to find printers, media servers, IoT gadgets, and other services on your Wi-Fi, with no setup. WHAT YOU GET - Device discovery: Bonjour/mDNS, SSDP, and optional subnet scans, with manufacturer lookups. - Security assessment: flags risky exposed services and checks device manufacturers against CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog and the NVD. - Packet capture: see which hosts your phone talks to (DNS, SNI, ports) and export to pcap for Wireshark. - TLS Inspection (optional subscription): decrypt and read your own device's HTTPS traffic using a certificate you install and trust. PRIVACY Scans and analysis run on your phone. Your device list and scan results are never uploaded. There is no telemetry, no analytics, and no trackers. Two things leave your device, and both are visible to you: DNS lookups go to the resolver you choose (Google Public DNS by default), and the Refresh CISA Data button you tap yourself downloads CISA's public catalog and asks the NVD about device vendors seen on your network. The only permission the app needs is local network access. SUBSCRIPTION TLS Inspection Monthly is an auto-renewing monthly subscription. The price and any free trial are shown in the app before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, or when a free trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. Discovery, scans, and the Security tab are free. OPEN SOURCE mDNSShark is built by engineers who like transparent, lightweight tools, and it is open to anyone curious about local networks.

LAN Scanner helps you instantly discover every device on your local network. With a single tap, it identifies phones, laptops, TVs, printers, NAS, and IoT devices—showing IP, hostname, MAC address, and manufacturer. It uses modern discovery (Bonjour/mDNS, SSDP/UPnP) to surface friendly names so you know exactly what’s online. - One‑Tap Scan: Discovers devices on your current Wi‑Fi or Ethernet network fast. - Smart Names: Uses Bonjour/mDNS and SSDP/UPnP to show human‑readable device names. - Vendor Lookup: Infers manufacturer from MAC addresses for quick identification. - Live Results: See devices appear in real time as the scan progresses. - Cross‑Platform: Built for iPhone, iPad, and Mac with native SwiftUI. - Lightweight: No accounts, no ads, no clutter—just the info you need. - Live Results: See devices appear in real time as the scan progresses. - Cross‑Platform: Built for iPhone, iPad, and Mac with native SwiftUI. - Lightweight: No accounts, no ads, no clutter—just the info you need. - Private by Design: All scanning and identification happens entirely on‑device. LAN Scanner never collects, uploads, or shares your network data. - Great For: - Troubleshooting “what’s on my network?” - Finding printers, TVs, and smart home devices - Auditing small office/home networks - Verifying new devices and guests - Notes: Some networks (guest/VLAN/campus) may restrict discovery. Ensure Local Network access is granted for best results. Requirements: Local Network permission. Multicast networking improves Bonjour/SSDP discovery on supported devices.
