Netsight is a native network scanner and security toolkit for iPhone and iPad. Scan your local network in seconds, identify every connected device, see how it all fits together, and check for known security issues, all from your phone. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Discover devices: Scan your network and find everything connected to it, fast. • Identify what's what: Automatic fingerprinting using manufacturer (OUI), DNS, and HTTP signals turns a wall of IP addresses into real device names. • See your network: An interactive, force-directed topology map shows how your devices connect and rearranges live as the scan runs. • Check for risks: Look up known vulnerabilities (CVEs) for the devices on your network. • Understand findings: On-device AI, powered by Apple's Foundation Models, explains what a result means in plain English. BUILT-IN TOOLS • SSH terminal to connect to your servers and devices • Wake-on-LAN to power on machines remotely • RTSP viewer to check in on compatible IP cameras BUILT FOR iOS Written natively in Swift and SwiftUI for modern iPhone and iPad. Scanning runs locally on your device and your own network. NO ADS. NO ACCOUNT. Netsight is free. No ads, no sign-up, every feature available to everyone. If you'd like to support development, there's an optional tip jar.
