About

OwHello

Features
Read full description

OwHello is a local-network browser for Bonjour (mDNS). It lists the services and devices that announce themselves on the network the device is connected to, and explains what each one is: a printer, an AirPlay speaker, a HomeKit or Matter accessory, a NAS and so on. A full network sweep can be done to find devices which are not broadcasting their services. There is no account, no sign-in and no server; nothing leaves the local network, and no data is collected. Optimized for iPhone Duo
