Is it your Wi-Fi, or is it your ISP? PingKit Guardian finds out, with a 1-week free trial. It tests your iPhone, your network, your router and the internet beyond it, then tells you in plain words where the problem is and what to do about it. While you are away, Guardian keeps watch: 10 sites or TCP ports checked every 5 minutes, with an alert when one goes down or recovers. The tools are free: 19 professional-grade network tools, no subscription needed. Devices on your network are found automatically and named from what they announce. Ask "Why is my internet slow?" and get a real answer instead of a number. GUARDIAN ($2.99/mo): • Where the problem is: your device, your network, your router, your ISP, or beyond • Fix It walkthrough: an ordered checklist for your exact router • Uptime Watch: 10 sites or TCP ports, checked every 5 minutes • Cert Monitor: 5 domains, with expiry alerts • 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 • 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 • 90 days of history from your Mac • 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 • Scheduled reports and the signed ISO 27001 Compliance PDF • Everything in Guardian 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. AI THAT EXPLAINS YOUR NETWORK: Answers are written on your iPhone by Apple Intelligence where your iPhone and language allow, or with Guardian by Apple Private Cloud Compute. AI explanations and the assistant are 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. MONITOR TAB: Live connection, Uptime Watch, Cert Monitor, Mac Agent, scheduled speed tests and reports. Cert Monitor and Uptime Watch each include one permanently free slot. NEW IN 3.4: • Share Traceroute, Session Watch and Security Scan results as an image, without your Wi-Fi name or public IP address. • Traceroute explains the route in plain words. • History tells apart two networks that share a router address, and you can rename a network. • Devices recognizes many more kinds of device, from robot vacuums to solar inverters. • IPv6 across the tools. 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. NOW IN 27 LANGUAGES. PRIVACY FIRST: All 19 diagnostic tools run on your device. No accounts, no tracking, no advertising. The Mac Agent syncs through your personal iCloud.

Guardian Plus: $9.99/mo or $79.99/yr. 1-week free trial on every plan. Cancel anytime.

About

Cloud Dashcam & GPS

Features
Read full description

Savvo turns your iPhone into your vehicle's camera and GPS. It does what a dashcam does, without buying one: it records your trip on video, marks your route on the map and keeps everything in the cloud, to look back whenever you want. Works for cars, motorcycles, trucks, bicycles, boats and free flight. Mount your iPhone on the holder, tap once and set off. The rest is automatic. App released in September 2026. HIGH-QUALITY RECORDING Savvo records video with sound in high quality and stores it on your iPhone. When space runs out, the oldest ones make way for the new. With a plan, a light copy goes up to the cloud over Wi-Fi, without using your data plan. Important moments don't wait for Wi-Fi: they go up at once, over whatever network is available. IMPORTANT MOMENTS, SAVED RIGHT AWAY If something out of the ordinary happens along the way, Savvo notices at once and sends the video and sound of that moment to the cloud: the seconds before, during and after, with place and time. Even if something happens to your phone, that stretch is already saved. The free account is enough. THE WHOLE ROUTE ON THE MAP Every trip becomes a map with the route, speed, altitude and time of each moment. The elevation profile shows every climb and every descent. LIVE DASHBOARD Speed, altitude and map on screen, with a dashboard that adapts to your vehicle: car, motorcycle, bicycle, boat or free flight. HISTORY OF EVERY DAY A calendar shows the days you recorded. Open a day and see the route, the videos and the Day Play, a photo recap of the trip. TWO CAMERAS AT ONCE On compatible iPhones (XS or newer), record the road ahead and the cabin together. A Pro plan feature. SHARE BY LINK Send a temporary link for the period you choose. Whoever gets it watches in the browser, nothing to install. The link expires on its own, and you can cancel it sooner. FAMILY AT EASE With Pro, the people you authorize follow your location and your trip photos live. You decide who sees them and can remove access whenever you want. Your videos stay yours alone. ON-BOARD COMPUTER (OBD-II) Connect a Bluetooth OBD-II adapter and see live engine data and the car's fault warnings. You choose to clear the warnings; the history is saved first. HOW IT WORKS ON IPHONE iOS does not allow recording video with the app in the background. With Savvo open, the camera records: leave the dashboard on screen and recording continues. If you leave the app, the camera pauses, but your route keeps being logged. SAFETY FIRST Savvo is made so you never need to touch it with the vehicle in motion: one tap before you set off, and the rest is automatic. Never handle your phone while moving. START FREE Without an account, Savvo already records on your iPhone, free, with route and dashboard. With the free account, your route and your important moments are kept in the cloud, and you get 30 courtesy days with everything in Pro. It is not a subscription: no card and no automatic charge. When the 30 days end, the app is still yours. PLANS Essential: 5 days of your route in the cloud, important moments kept for 30 days, Day Play photos for 5 days and sharing by link. Pro: everything in Essential with 15 days in the cloud, photos for 15 days, two cameras and family live. Monthly and yearly plans. The subscription is handled by the App Store, renews automatically and can be canceled at any time in Settings > your name > Subscriptions. Prices appear on the Plans screen, in the app. PRIVACY Your videos are yours. What is in the cloud is private and only you can access it. Shared links expire and can be canceled. You can delete your account in the app, and that erases your data and your recordings from the cloud. We follow the LGPD, Brazil's data protection law. NO ADS No advertising and no tracking. — Savvo savvo.net Terms of Use and Privacy: https://savvo.net/legal.html Apple Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Contact: hello@savvo.net
