Slow Wi-Fi, mystery devices on your network, sharing passwords with friends β€” one app handles it all. "Wi-Fi Share: Network Toolkit" started as a Wi-Fi QR sharing tool. Version 1.1.0 expands it into a full home network toolkit: see who's on your Wi-Fi, diagnose what's making it slow, inspect website certificates, check IPv6 reachability β€” 18 tools that used to require technical know-how, now one tap and a clear result. Everything runs locally, and the app never uploads your passwords. β–  Wi-Fi Sharing (original core, free forever) β€’ Wi-Fi QR Sharing: enter SSID + password, instantly generate a standard Wi-Fi QR. Guests scan with their camera and connect. Supports WPA / WPA2 / WPA3 / WEP / open networks and hidden SSIDs. β€’ Network Status Overview: router (Gateway), IP and subnet mask β€” all on one page, each field copyable. β€’ Hotspot QR & Password Vault: turn your Personal Hotspot into a QR; saved Wi-Fi credentials live in the phone's encrypted vault (free: 3 entries). β–  Home Network Toolkit (new in 1.1.0) β€’ Scan Devices: LAN radar finds every device on your subnet with IP / vendor / alias (Premium). Tap into a device for port scan; cross-session scan history (Premium full) lets you compare "who was here, what's new now." β€’ Network Health Monitor: 30-second Ping / Jitter / Packet Loss test with live chart. 5 built-in targets (Google / Cloudflare / Apple / Steam / Netflix) β€” find out if it's your network or that site. β€’ Speed Test + Historical Trend: one-tap download speed; 1.1.0 adds a weekly trend chart. β€’ 18 network tools, one-tap clarity: β€’ Wake-on-LAN β€” remotely wake your desktop / NAS β€’ Public Identity β€” your outbound IP / ISP / country β€’ TLS Certificate Inspector β€” view any site's HTTPS cert β€’ DNS Speed Compare β€” which DNS is faster β€’ HTTP Headers Check β€” security header scoring β€’ IPv6 Connectivity β€” is IPv6 reachable from your home? β€’ Whois / RDAP β€” domain registration lookup β€’ mDNS / Bonjour Browser β€” AirPlay / Printers / SMB β€’ Email DNS β€” MX / SPF / DMARC 0-100 scoring β€’ Ad-blocker Detection β€” check if 12 known ad domains are sinkholed β€’ Slow Network Root Cause β€” one-tap DNS + Ping + IPv6 diagnosis β€’ Password Generator / Strength Checker / Router Defaults / DNS List / Hotspot QR β€” all original tools preserved β–  Premium Unlock (one-time purchase, lifetime access) β€’ Unlimited Wi-Fi entries (free: 3) β€’ Unlimited ad-free speed tests β€’ LAN device aliases + full scan history (free 3 β†’ Premium 50) β€’ QR customization (5 color presets, incl. gradients) β€’ Priority access to future features β–  Privacy Promise β€’ No email, name, phone, or birthday.
