PingKit vs IndieForge

Is it your Wi-Fi, or is it your ISP? PingKit answers the question you actually have. It checks your device, your network, your router and the internet beyond it, then tells you in plain language where the problem is. Ask "Why is my internet slow?" and get a real answer instead of a number. Devices on your network are found automatically and named from what they announce. No jargon, no guesswork. 19 professional-grade network tools, completely free. AI THAT EXPLAINS YOUR NETWORK: Answers are written on your iPhone by Apple Intelligence, or by Apple Private Cloud Compute, wherever your iPhone and your language allow. PingKit's own service is the last resort, and PingKit asks your permission before it ever receives anything. Every AI feature is free without a subscription: answers written on your iPhone are unlimited, and PingKit's own service gives you 15 a week, up to 5 a day. NEW IN 3.3: • MAC addresses and manufacturers for most devices on your network, on iOS 27. • More devices get a name: PingKit asks each device for the name it announces, so smart plugs, bulbs, TVs and consoles that never showed a name do. • Labels stay with the device: a device keeps its name and label when its address changes. • Thread and Matter devices appear, and scans are faster and quieter. SIRI & SHORTCUTS: Speed test, "How's My Wi-Fi?", a gaming check, wake your computer, ping, port scan and DNS lookup, straight from Siri, Spotlight and Shortcuts. 19 FREE TOOLS: Smart Diagnostics, Speed Test, Ping, Visual Traceroute, MTR, Connection Monitor, Port Scanner, Bonjour Browser, Security Scan, Device Discovery, My Network, DNS Lookup, Whois, IP Geolocation, SSL Inspector, HTTP Analyzer, Subnet Calculator, Wake-on-LAN, Network Interfaces. MONITOR TAB: Live connection, Uptime Watch, Cert Monitor, Mac Agent, scheduled speed tests and reports in one place. Cert Monitor and Uptime Watch each include one permanently free slot. GUARDIAN ($2.99/mo): • Where the problem is: your device, your network, your router, your ISP, or beyond • Session Watch: game regions, two-hour sessions, lag under load, and where the lag is • Router mode: every port your router forwards from the internet • Cameras on your network, and whether each answers from the internet • Wake from anywhere through your Mac, with a Control Center button per device • Watch Mode, trends per network, and what changed since your last checkup • Fix It walkthrough: an ordered checklist for your exact router • Uptime Watch: 10 sites or TCP ports checked every 5 minutes, with down/recovered alerts • Cert Monitor: 5 domains, with expiry alerts • Monitoring through the companion Mac Agent while your Mac is awake: a morning briefing, alerts for the devices you choose, and a scan or speed test from anywhere • Apple Private Cloud Compute: answers questions too large for the model on your iPhone to hold on its own • Private iCloud sync between the Mac Agent and your iPhone GUARDIAN PLUS ($9.99/mo): • Cert Monitor: 50 domains • Alerts by email, with a Monday summary, or to a webhook • Sleep, restart and shut down your Macs and Linux machines • Four- and eight-hour gaming sessions, and your history as a spreadsheet • Several Macs, and 90 days of history • Scheduled reports and the signed ISO 27001 Compliance PDF • Everything in Guardian NOW IN 27 LANGUAGES.

IndieForge is the all-in-one productivity app built from the ground up for indie developers, solo founders, and side-project builders. If you maintain multiple apps, juggle versions, track income and expenses, or simply want to see how far you have come — IndieForge is your private war room. No team required. No complicated setup. Just you, your projects, and a tool that finally understands how indie developers actually work. BUILT FOR HOW INDIE DEVELOPERS ACTUALLY WORK Every project in IndieForge is organized by version, not by sprint or epic. Tasks belong to versions. Versions belong to projects. When it is time to ship, you know exactly what changed — and IndieForge generates a formatted changelog for you automatically. Switch between a four-column kanban board (To Do, Doing, Review, Done) and a filtered view by version, tag, or today's focus. Drag tasks across columns. Mark today's priority. Stay in flow. TRACK REVENUE, INVESTMENT, AND NET PROFIT Stop guessing whether your projects are profitable. IndieForge lets you record revenue and investment entries per project, then shows you a clear profit-and-loss breakdown — per project and across your entire portfolio. See six-month income trends with stacked bar charts. Know your profit margin at a glance. Make better decisions about where to invest your time and money. PROJECT FILE ARCHIVE WITH ICLOUD SYNC Attach Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PDFs, design files, images, and any other project asset directly to your projects. Files are organized by type and synced across all your devices via iCloud. Link files to specific versions or reference them from individual tasks. Large files sync lazily — thumbnails arrive first, full files download on demand. Your local cache is managed automatically so you never run out of storage. DEV JOURNAL — YOUR DEVELOPMENT STORY IndieForge includes a dedicated journal for recording your development journey. Write about breakthroughs, struggles, lessons learned, and milestones reached. Attach up to nine photos per entry. Tag entries to projects and versions. Choose your mood. The journal lives outside your projects because your story is bigger than any single product. It is the thread that connects everything you build. SHARE YOUR PROGRESS WITH THE WORLD Generate beautifully designed share cards from your journal entries, version changelogs, milestone achievements, development streaks, and monthly revenue reports. Share them to Twitter, Instagram, WeChat, or anywhere else. Choose from multiple card templates. Adjust the aspect ratio for stories, feeds, or landscape posts. Your progress deserves to be seen. STREAK, MILESTONES, AND MOTIVATION Building alone is hard. IndieForge keeps you going with a development streak counter, achievement milestones, and today's focus reminders. Watch your streak grow. Celebrate your first user, your first dollar, your hundredth task. Every small win is recorded. Every day you ship counts. APPLE ECOSYSTEM, DEEPLY INTEGRATED IndieForge is a native Apple app built with SwiftUI, SwiftData, and CloudKit. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. Home Screen widgets show your streak, today's tasks, and revenue at a glance. Live Activities track your development sessions on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. The Apple Watch companion lets you check your focus tasks and mark them complete from your wrist. Everything syncs through iCloud. Your data stays on your device and in your private CloudKit database — never on third-party servers. SIMPLE, TRANSPARENT PRICING IndieForge offers a free tier with one project and core features. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited projects, revenue tracking, widgets, the Apple Watch app, and all share card templates. Choose monthly, annual, or a one-time lifetime purchase. No ads. No analytics tracking. No data selling. Your projects are yours. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
