iNetPulse lets you monitor network interface bandwidth on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It reads standard SNMP v2c 64-bit counters (ifHCInOctets / ifHCOutOctets), then plots clear In / Out / Total speed curves. Everything is computed and stored on your device. Highlights • Multiple devices & interfaces (free plan: up to 2 interfaces; unlock for unlimited) • Fast, reliable SNMP v2c polling (Counter64) with combined In/Out GET • Clean charts with optional Warn and Capacity reference lines • Background refresh attempts gap-fill sampling for smoother trends • “Keep Awake” toggle for continuous monitoring • Per-interface stats: Min / Avg / Max; utilization shown when Capacity is set • Search, filter (All / Alert / Running / Paused), and quick actions • Privacy-first: targets, community strings, and samples are stored locally How it works 1. Add a device (IP/hostname & community). 2. Fetch interface list and pick an ifIndex. 3. Poll 64-bit counters at your interval. 4. Compute deltas → Mbps → draw trends. Free vs Pro • Free: monitor up to 2 interfaces. • Unlock: remove the interface limit and add unlimited interfaces. Subscriptions & Purchase • Auto-renewable subscriptions: iNetPulse Pro – Monthly (1 month) and iNetPulse Pro – Yearly (1 year). • One-time purchase: iNetPulse Pro – Lifetime (non-consumable). • Pricing is shown in-app and may vary by region. • Subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation.
