Free, with no ads and no account. NETWORK SCAN • Scans your Wi-Fi network and lists every device that answers, with its name and the services it offers (web, SSH, shared folders, remote desktop, printing and more) • A guess of what each device is, from the ports it has open • Remembers devices from earlier scans, so you see which ones are silent this time • Tap a service to open it: a web page, a terminal, or the shared folders of that computer TOOLS • Ping (TCP or ICMP) with minimum, average, maximum and loss • Traceroute: the routers between you and a host • Port scan: which ports of a computer are open • DNS lookup against Cloudflare, Google, Quad9 or your own server • Whois / IP info: where an address is and who owns it • Monitor: watch computers and services and get a notification when one goes down • HTTP client: status, timing and headers, with copy as curl • SSL/TLS certificate check: validity, names, chain and fingerprint • Wi-Fi info: your address, mask, router, DNS and network name • Speed test: latency, download and upload, on the internet or against your own server • Subnet calculator: mask, range, hosts, divide into smaller networks, works offline • Wake-on-LAN: wake a computer with one tap • Telnet and raw TCP terminal, for routers, switches and testing a service by hand SSH • A full terminal with Esc, Ctrl, Tab and arrow keys • Sign in with a password or an SSH key you create in the app • Passwords and keys are kept in the Keychain and protected by Face ID • Warns you if a server's identity changes SHARED FOLDERS (SMB) • Browse the shared folders of Windows, Mac and Linux computers and NAS drives like in the Files app • Videos and music play straight from the computer, with no waiting for a download • Text files open in the app, pictures and documents open with Quick Look • SMB 2 and 3 with signing and encryption PRIVATE BY DESIGN There is no account, no advertising and no analytics.
