Local LLM Server Pro
Read full descriptionHide full description
Turn Apple Intelligence into a local API for your scripts and apps. Local LLM Server Pro exposes Apple's on-device language model through selected OpenAI and Ollama-compatible endpoints. Inference stays on your device. PRO: A ONE-TIME PURCHASE No ads and no daily generation request quota. Pro does not expand Apple's model context window or guarantee background service. The free version is ad-supported and allows 100 generation requests per day. START WITH ONE RESPONSE Enable Apple Intelligence and wait for the model to be ready. Start the server, open the in-app playground, and ask a short question. Then use the curl, Python or JavaScript examples in Server Information to connect your client. A step-by-step setup guide is available from the support link. SUPPORTED WORKFLOWS ⢠OpenAI Chat Completions with a custom /v1 base URL, streaming, structured output and tool-call responses. ⢠Selected Ollama chat, generate and model-list endpoints. ⢠Text embeddings using Apple's contextual embedding provider. ⢠Same-device localhost access, or local-network access with an optional API key. ⢠Server logs, request statistics and Shortcuts for server controls. KNOW THE LIMITS This app uses Apple's supported on-device model. It does not import GGUF or Hugging Face models, download arbitrary Ollama models, or provide OpenAI's Responses API. Use model IDs returned by the server, such as base. Compatibility depends on the endpoints your client uses. Requests can contain up to 1 MiB of JSON. This HTTP byte limit is separate from the model's token context. Shorten large conversations or tool definitions; use max_tokens to bound replies. KEEP THE SERVER VISIBLE Keep the app in the foreground while serving. On iPad, use Split View with your client alongside it. Requests may pause when the app is backgrounded or the screen locks. The optional background reminder is advisory, not suspension detection. REQUIREMENTS Apple Intelligence-capable hardware with iOS/iPadOS 26 or later, or macOS 26 or later on a compatible Apple silicon Mac. Apple Intelligence must be enabled, supported in your language and region, and its on-device model ready. Setup may require a model download.

NetOps
Read full descriptionHide full description
Twelve network tools in one app for sysadmins and developers. NetOps finds the devices on your Wi-Fi, maps a managed switch over SNMP, checks TLS certificates and DNS, and probes hosts and ports, on iPhone and iPad. LOCAL NETWORK ⢠LAN Scan ā Sweeps your Wi-Fi subnet (up to 1,024 addresses), then reads the iOS ARP table to list each device's IP and MAC address, with the maker looked up from the MAC's OUI. Devices using a private (randomized) Wi-Fi address are marked as such. Export as CSV or JSON, or save a device to Hosts. ⢠Net Map ā Point it at a managed switch or router that speaks SNMP v2c (GetBulk walks, read community). It reads system name, uptime and location; interfaces with status, speed and MAC; the ARP table with vendors; LLDP and CDP neighbors; MAC-to-switchport; and routed subnets. It reaches devices beyond your own subnet. PROBES (TCP) iOS gives apps no ICMP, so these tools time TCP connections, and say so on screen. ⢠Ping ā TCP ping: each probe races connects to ports 80, 443, 53 and 22; an accept or a refusal counts as an answer. Count 1ā100 or continuous, interval 0.2ā2 s, with min/avg/max, jitter, loss and a latency chart. ⢠Traceroute ā A TCP reachability check: up to 10 connect attempts to the destination, each waiting longer, until it answers. It does not list the routers in between. ⢠MTR ā A continuous TCP ping to one destination with live loss, best, average, worst and jitter. No per-hop table. ⢠Port Scan ā TCP connect scan of a host name or IPv4/IPv6 address: a 22-port common preset, a top-100 list, ports 1ā1000, or any custom range. Each port is open, closed (refused), filtered (no answer) or unreachable (no route), and IPv4 is tried first. CERTIFICATES ⢠SSL Check ā Any host and port: the full chain labelled leaf, intermediate and root, iOS's own trust verdict, whether the certificate covers the host name, the failure reason, days to expiry, issuer, SANs and serial. Expired, self-signed and wrong-host certificates are still shown. DNS AND IP ⢠Dig ā Query A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, NS, SOA and PTR records from any resolver over UDP with EDNS0. The response code (NOERROR, NXDOMAIN, SERVFAIL, REFUSED) and a truncated answer are shown. SOA is printed in full and IPv6 in RFC 5952 short form. ⢠DNS Propagation ā One name and record type across eight public resolvers at once (Google, Cloudflare, Quad9, OpenDNS, DNS.WATCH, Yandex), flagging disagreement. ⢠WHOIS ā Domain and IP registration data over RDAP: dates, status, name servers, network. ⢠Reverse Lookup ā IPv4 address to host name via PTR. ⢠CIDR Calculator ā IPv4 subnet math: network, mask, wildcard, broadcast, first and last host, host counts, and whether an IP falls inside the block. HOSTS AND HISTORY ⢠Hosts ā Names, tags, notes and favorites. A host found by LAN Scan is matched by MAC, so it survives an IP change. Import from a CSV file, export to CSV, or sync from an HTTPS inventory API: any JSON list with dot-path field mapping (NetBox works), or an Ansible dynamic inventory, with an optional bearer token kept in the iOS Keychain. ⢠History ā Every tool's runs are saved as text reports you can search, share or delete, kept 7, 30, 90 or 365 days. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO ⢠No ICMP ping, hop-by-hop traceroute or per-hop MTR on iOS. ⢠No Wi-Fi signal survey or list of nearby Wi-Fi networks; LAN Scan finds devices on the network you are joined to. ⢠No SNMP v3, no SNMP writes, no SSH or Telnet client. ⢠No packet capture, and nothing runs in the background. PRIVACY No account, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. Hosts and history stay on your device. Probes go only to the hosts you enter; WHOIS queries go to rdap.org, DNS queries go to the resolvers you choose, and API sync goes to the URL you set. PRICE One purchase. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no upsells. Published by SHYGUY LLC.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Local LLM Server Pro at $3.99 against NetOps's $4.99. NetOps's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and chart position there is nothing between them.
