IP Inbound is an application that helps pilots fly an IP-to-target run to an accurate time on target. This application is useful for formation demo pilots, or pilots who participate in simulated tactical events, and need to be over a target at a precise time. THE PROBLEM Maybe you are lead of a formation flight over a ceremony and you have specific time on target (TOT), or you are being tested on your ability to put a flour bomb on a mock target at a precise moment. In either case, you are likely given three pieces of information: 1. Your target location 2. A desired time on target 3. An initial point (IP) or run-in direction Your job is to select a run-in speed, and plan your arrival over the IP so that you arrive over the target at TOT. For flights that must coordinate with a band or pyrotechnics display on the ground, or for aircraft that are being tested on their timing, seconds matter. THE SOLUTION This iOS application allows you to select or enter a precise target coordinate, choose an IP bearing and distance, and a desired ground speed, and then enter your TOT. It then provides you with useful information during each phase of your flight: ON THE GROUND, it shows you a countdown to your TOT for takeoff planning. AIRBORNE, PRE-IP it provides you with lateral guidance to the IP, and a countdown for when you must exit the IP to make your TOT. It will also automatically provide you with direct-to-target guidance if it calculates that you must skip your IP in order to make your TOT. AIRBORNE, POST-IP it provides you with lateral guidance for the IP-to-target run, and tells you to speed up or slow down to meet your TOT. The app automatically includes turning time in its calculations: For example, if you are running very early and opt to make a 360 or an S-turn during the IP-to-target run, it will include the time needed to complete the turn in its estimated-time-of-arrival (ETA) calculations, and airspeed guidance.

See every device on your WiFi. Free — no ads, no subscription. Network Scanner Toolkit finds everything on your network in seconds: name, IP, MAC address and manufacturer (iOS 27+) — even devices that hide from ping. Devices tell you what they are: Apple TV, HomePod, Chromecast, printers, HomeKit and Matter gear, Sonos, Fire TV, Windows PCs, NAS boxes and more. Capability tags show which are pingable, run a web interface, speak Bonjour, UPnP or Matter, or are your gateway. Filter by Web UI, SSH, file shares, printers, TVs, smart home or cameras. Tap a device to ping it, open its admin page, connect over SSH, VNC or SMB, rename or favorite it. New devices are flagged automatically. Made for big screens. On iPad and the iPhone Duo the scanner becomes three columns — past scans, device list and full details side by side — and the tools spread into two panes. Stand the Duo up like a laptop and every tool splits across the hinge: graph, map or results on top, controls below. Fold, unfold or rotate and nothing is lost. A full network toolbox — free: • LAN Scanner — fast sweep with naming over Bonjour, NetBIOS, WS-Discovery and SNMP; models and manufacturers, custom names & icons, new-device badges, filters, quick-connect. Scans Wi-Fi, Personal Hotspot or wired, and keeps going after you leave the app (iOS 26+). • Subnet Tools — IPv4 and IPv6. Type any address with a prefix, netmask or wildcard and get the whole answer on one card: network, broadcast, host range, counts, type with its RFC, binary with host bits highlighted. Then explore: child subnets on a visual map, VLSM planner, overlap checker, supernet, membership test, range-to-CIDR, config lines, IPv6 forms, netmask table. Siri Shortcut included. • Port Scanner — presets, custom ranges, or all 65,535 ports • Traceroute — every hop geolocated on a live map with latency charts • Ping — live graph, configurable payload size and interval • DNS Lookup — A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, NS, SOA, PTR, SRV, HTTPS & SVCB records, custom resolvers, DNSSEC check • Whois — modern RDAP lookups for domains, IPs and AS numbers, with classic WHOIS referral chasing as the fallback • Bonjour Monitor — watch services appear and disappear live • Siri & Shortcuts — scan the network, find or ping a device, check if it's online, look up DNS, check your router, open a device, calculate a subnet. • Port Peek — tap any open port and read what the service announces: SSH version, web headers, mail and FTP greetings, telnet banners. • Network Info — IP, router, DNS, IPv6, data usage, SSID, and a Router card that names your router, shows its WAN address and tells you whether you're Direct, behind Double NAT or on Carrier-grade NAT, in plain English • History — every scan and test saved automatically Toolkit Pro — one purchase, yours forever: • Find Cameras — sweep for security cameras using RTSP, ONVIF, camera web interfaces hree-tier confidence ratings. Know what's watching on any WiFi you join. • MAC Explorer — paste any MAC in any format and see its vendor, IEEE registry block, address bits, reserved uses, every notation and the IPv6 address it implies. • Speed Test — live download and upload graphs in Mbps and MB/s with a bufferbloat grade • Security Audit — find exposed or insecure services on every device and ports your rrnet, with a fix for each finding and an A–F grade • Find Trackers — spot Tile, Samsung SmartTag and Google Find My Device tags traveling with you • Cert Check — any website or device's ssl certificate: trusted or self-signed, days left, issuer, names, chain, key, TLS version, fingerprint • Bluetooth Scanner — see nearby Bluetooth LE devices with signal strength, maker and type; locate one with the hot/cold Find meter or the radar view • Wake-on-LAN — wake your PC or NAS from the couch • Export & share — CSV and PDF reports of any scan or test; Whois and DNS results as text, JSON or CSV • Themes Private by design.
