Slow Wi-Fi, mystery devices on your network, sharing passwords with friends — 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 — 16 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. ■ Wi-Fi Sharing (original core, free forever) • Wi-Fi QR Sharing: enter SSID + password, instantly generate a standard Wi-Fi QR. Guests scan with their camera and connect.
