NetMonitor vs NetScan Pro

10 professional network tools. Zero cloud. Zero ads. Zero subscriptions. Everything runs locally on your Mac. NetMonitor is a complete network monitoring and diagnostics toolkit built for macOS. Scan your network, discover every connected device, trace routes across the globe, and diagnose issues in seconds — all without creating an account or sending a single byte off your machine. WHO IT'S FOR • Network admins — Monitor infrastructure and catch rogue devices • Developers — Debug connectivity, inspect DNS, scan ports • Homelab enthusiasts — Map your entire network and track every device NETWORK DASHBOARD See your entire network at a glance. A live health score grades your connection quality in real time, combining latency, packet loss, and DNS responsiveness into a single number. Monitor gateway reachability, public IP, ISP details, and live connection events — all in one view. DEVICE DISCOVERY Find devices other apps miss. NetMonitor's multi-phase scanning engine uses ARP, Bonjour, TCP probes, and reverse DNS to build a complete picture of your network. See IP and MAC addresses, vendor names, open ports, running services, and connection history for every device. 10 BUILT-IN DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS • Ping — ICMP with TCP fallback, live latency graphs, and packet statistics • Traceroute — Hop-by-hop path analysis with timing • GeoTrace — Visual traceroute plotted on a world map • World Ping — Test reachability from 20+ global nodes simultaneously • Port Scanner — TCP scanning with preset and custom port ranges • DNS Lookup — Query A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, and CNAME records • Speed Test — Download and upload throughput with peak speed and jitter tracking • WiFi Heatmap — Walk-around signal survey with floorplan overlay • WHOIS — Domain registration and ownership lookup • Bonjour Browser — Discover mDNS services on your network WIFI HEATMAPPING Import a floorplan or use freeform mode, then walk around to map signal strength across your space. Identify dead zones and optimize access point placement with real data instead of guesswork. GEOTRACE See the physical path your traffic takes. GeoTrace plots each hop on a satellite map so you can visualize routing across cities, countries, and continents. IPHONE COMPANION Connect to NetMonitor on your iPhone over your local network via Bonjour. Synchronize devices, run remote diagnostics, and monitor your network from either platform. No cloud relay — communication stays on your LAN. TIMELINE & EVENT HISTORY Every scan, device change, and network event is logged. Scroll back through your network history to spot patterns, track when devices appeared or disappeared, and review past diagnostics. No data ever leaves your device. No analytics. No tracking. Just tools that work.

See every device on your Wi-Fi in seconds. Test your internet quality. Find which trackers are watching you — and block them in one tap. NetScan Pro is the network toolkit Apple should have built into iOS. Discover what's on your network: • Scan every device — phones, laptops, smart-home gadgets, cameras, printers • See vendor, OS, open ports, and a 0–100 security rating for each one • Auto-detect Matter / Thread / HomeKit hubs, IP cameras, NAS units, IoT • Identify devices by name, vendor (offline OUI database), or MAC Audit your privacy: • Privacy Audit — see your public IP, ISP, VPN posture, encrypted-DNS status • Tracker check — find which advertising and analytics domains reach your phone • One-tap tracker blocker — install AdGuard, Cloudflare, or Quad9 DNS protection • Works system-wide across every app on your iPhone, not just Safari Diagnose your internet: • Apple-style RPM + bufferbloat test • MTR / traceroute with live latency graphs • Per-port reasons (tcp-connected / tcp-rst / no-response) like nmap • UDP port scanner with protocol-aware probes for DNS, SNMP, mDNS, and more Sysadmin power tools: • DNS Lookup (A / AAAA / MX / TXT / SRV / CNAME) • WHOIS lookup with referral chasing • IP Geolocation with map view • Subnet Calculator (CIDR ↔ range ↔ mask) • Bonjour Browser — every mDNS service the LAN announces • Wake-on-LAN for any device with a known MAC See what's exposed: • Built-in CVE matcher flags vulnerable services (OpenSSH, nginx, IIS…) • WAN exposure check finds devices reachable from the internet via port-forwarding • Default-credential heuristic spots routers / cameras still on factory passwords • Per-device security score from 0–100 Beautiful reports: • Generate a multi-page PDF network snapshot you can share or archive • Export device list as text • AI-powered summary via Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro and later) iCloud-synced multi-network profiles, background change alerts, custom timing presets (T0–T5), and an Aggressive scan mode that runs every probe at once round out the package. Privacy promise: NetScan Pro runs every scan on-device. No personal data, MAC addresses, or device names ever leave your phone. No analytics. No ads. No tracking. No subscription. Ever. Built by an independent developer who scratches his own itch. — Use NetScan Pro only on networks you own or have permission to scan.
