Read full description

StatBoard monitors your iPhone in real time and includes a network diagnostics toolbox built for power users. The app uses native SwiftUI, runs with zero telemetry and zero tracking, shows no ads, and ships without third party libraries. Your data stays on the device. Use one app to read CPU and memory stats, scan a LAN, inspect TLS, or hash a file. StatBoard groups the utilities in a layout that supports light and dark themes. Features 1. Real Time Hardware Monitors β€’ CPU: Live workload, per core usage, load averages, and thermal state. β€’ Memory: Active, wired, inactive, compressed, and memory pressure. β€’ Storage: Volume size and free space on your device. β€’ Battery: Charge level, charging state, and low power mode. β€’ Network: Live throughput, connection type, and path status on the dashboard. 2. Network Utilities (17 Tools) β€’ Ping and Traceroute: Counted or continuous ping, live charts, gateway shortcut, hop list, and map based traceroute. β€’ LAN Scanner: Subnet discovery, network map, HTTP server headers, Wake on LAN, and CVE checks. β€’ DNS Lookup: System DNS or DNS over HTTPS with 12 resolvers, structured records, and DNSSEC on DoH. β€’ DNS Propagation: Compare answers across global resolvers and your device. β€’ Port Scanner: Streaming open, closed, and filtered ports with banners and TLS details. β€’ HTTP Tester: Build requests, view a timing waterfall and redirect chain, export HAR, import cURL. β€’ SSL Certificate and TLS Inspector: Full chain details, security findings, revocation status, export. β€’ WHOIS Lookup: Domains, IPs, and AS numbers with referral chains and RDAP fallback. β€’ MAC Lookup: Offline IEEE vendor data, bulk extract from pasted text, copy in common formats. β€’ Bonjour Browser: Local services, Thread, Matter, and Matter over Bluetooth scan. β€’ NAT / STUN Probe: NAT type, IPv6 reflexive address, and per server timing. β€’ Blacklist Check: 15 reputation lists with optional mail server checks. β€’ Network Diagnostics: One report scoring ping, DNS, HTTP, TLS, speed, and NAT. β€’ Speed Test: Download and upload with a live gauge and connection timing. β€’ Subnet Calculator: IPv4 and IPv6 subnet math. 3. On Device System Tools β€’ PDF tools: Remove passwords from secured PDFs or strip metadata and hidden XMP. β€’ Image Converter: Convert HEIC and other images to JPEG or PNG. β€’ Photo Tagger: Set date, time, and GPS on up to 20 photos in one batch. β€’ EXIF Stripper: Remove GPS, device IDs, and camera metadata from photos. β€’ Encoder / Hash: Base64, Base64 URL, URL, hex, JWT payload decode, and hashes including SHA 256, SHA 384, SHA 512, SHA 1, MD5, and HMAC SHA 256. Hash large files in chunks, extract tokens from logs, and send text from HTTP Tester, SSL Certificate, or MAC Lookup. 4. Device Info β€’ Marketing name, chip, display, ports, and capabilities from a bundled device database kept in sync with the dashboard card. One time purchase options available. Network Tools and System Tools require Pro Pack or an active trial.

"Know what your iPhone or iPad can do, verify key hardware functions, and understand performance with guided diagnostics designed for real-world use. Choose a fast Quick Check, run a Full Diagnostic, or open individual tests. Check display colors and touch coverage, speakers and microphones, cameras and torch, motion and environmental sensors, storage, charging state, network and Bluetooth connectivity, biometrics, and supported features such as NFC, UWB, LiDAR and Apple Pencil. Performance tools can measure CPU, GPU, memory, storage throughput, frame pacing and thermal-state changes using repeatable workloads. Every test explains what it checks, how it works, and what the result can actually prove. Automatic measurements are kept separate from user confirmations. Permission limits, unsupported hardware and inconclusive conditions are shown clearly instead of being treated as failures. Use focused inspection modes when buying or selling a used device or after a repair. Save diagnostic history, compare selected results over time, retry items that need attention, and create clear reports that can be shared when needed. Privacy is built into the testing flow. Camera, microphone and sensor access is requested only when a relevant test needs it. Test captures are not kept permanently unless you choose to save or share them. The available test list adapts to the hardware your device actually supports, so you are not asked to run features that are not present. Some advanced checks may require compatible hardware, an accessory, an NFC tag or a second Apple device. Important: this is an independent diagnostic utility, not an Apple service tool. iOS does not provide third-party apps with every low-level metric. Exact CPU/GPU sensor temperatures, real-time processor clock speeds, official Battery Health percentage and cycle count are not presented as measured values when the public APIs do not provide them." All features and tools are available via in-app purchases with auto-renewable subscriptions. Auto-Renewable Subscription Terms: ‒⁠ ⁠The payment will be charged to your Apple ID Account at confirmation of purchase. ‒⁠ ⁠The subscription renews automatically unless the auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. ‒⁠ ⁠Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of your selected subscription. ‒⁠ ⁠Your subscriptions can be managed, and auto-renewal can be turned off by going to your App Store Account Settings. Terms: https://eatkdevtermsofuse.carrd.co This application includes fee-based content: ‒⁠ Phone Hardware & Diagnostics Weekly ( with 3 days trial ) Then $4.99 ‒⁠ Phone Hardware & Diagnostics Monthly $9.99 ‒⁠ Phone Hardware & Diagnostics Yearly $24.99
