Is it your Wi-Fi, or is it your ISP? PingKit Guardian finds out, with a 1-week free trial. It tests your iPhone, your network, your router and the internet beyond it, then tells you in plain words where the problem is and what to do about it. While you are away, Guardian keeps watch: 10 sites or TCP ports checked every 5 minutes, with an alert when one goes down or recovers. The tools are free: 19 professional-grade network tools, no subscription needed. Devices on your network are found automatically and named from what they announce. Ask "Why is my internet slow?" and get a real answer instead of a number. GUARDIAN ($2.99/mo): • Where the problem is: your device, your network, your router, your ISP, or beyond • Fix It walkthrough: an ordered checklist for your exact router • Uptime Watch: 10 sites or TCP ports, checked every 5 minutes • Cert Monitor: 5 domains, with expiry alerts • Session Watch: game regions, two-hour sessions, lag under load, and where the lag is • Router mode: every port your router forwards from the internet • Cameras on your network, and whether each answers from the internet • Wake from anywhere through your Mac, with a Control Center button per device • Watch Mode, trends per network, and what changed since your last checkup • Monitoring through the companion Mac Agent while your Mac is awake: a morning briefing, alerts for the devices you choose, and a scan or speed test from anywhere • 90 days of history from your Mac • Apple Private Cloud Compute: answers questions too large for the model on your iPhone to hold on its own • Private iCloud sync between the Mac Agent and your iPhone GUARDIAN PLUS ($9.99/mo): • Cert Monitor: 50 domains • Alerts by email, with a Monday summary, or to a webhook • Sleep, restart and shut down your Macs and Linux machines • Four- and eight-hour gaming sessions, and your history as a spreadsheet • Several Macs • Scheduled reports and the signed ISO 27001 Compliance PDF • Everything in Guardian 19 FREE TOOLS: Smart Diagnostics, Speed Test, Ping, Visual Traceroute, MTR, Connection Monitor, Port Scanner, Bonjour Browser, Security Scan, Device Discovery, My Network, DNS Lookup, Whois, IP Geolocation, SSL Inspector, HTTP Analyzer, Subnet Calculator, Wake-on-LAN, Network Interfaces.

MONITOR TAB: Live connection, Uptime Watch, Cert Monitor, Mac Agent, scheduled speed tests and reports. Cert Monitor and Uptime Watch each include one permanently free slot. NEW IN 3.4: • Share Traceroute, Session Watch and Security Scan results as an image, without your Wi-Fi name or public IP address. • Traceroute explains the route in plain words. • History tells apart two networks that share a router address, and you can rename a network. • Devices recognizes many more kinds of device, from robot vacuums to solar inverters. • IPv6 across the tools. SIRI & SHORTCUTS: Speed test, "How's My Wi-Fi?", a gaming check, wake your computer, ping, port scan and DNS lookup, straight from Siri, Spotlight and Shortcuts. NOW IN 27 LANGUAGES. PRIVACY FIRST: All 19 diagnostic tools run on your device. No accounts, no tracking, no advertising. The Mac Agent syncs through your personal iCloud.
