You can complete networking, device discovery, remote access, and remote control directly inside the app. 【App-Based Private Networking】 Traditional networking tools often require system-level VPN configuration, which may affect other VPN, proxy, or network tools. Larktun uses an app-based private networking approach: No system profile installation required No occupation of the system VPN channel No conflict with other proxy or network tools Access private network devices directly from the app Better suited for iPhone and iPad remote access 【Main Features】 1. Secure Private Network Access After signing in, your iPhone or iPad becomes part of your private network. Wherever you are, as long as you have internet access, you can connect to your devices as if you were on the same local network. Multiple accounts are supported, allowing you to switch between home networks, development environments, remote office networks, and operations management scenarios. 2. Smart Discovery and Home Network App Center Larktun supports smart discovery to help you quickly find devices and common services in your private network, reducing the need to manually enter IP addresses, ports, and protocols. You can discover NAS devices, servers, Windows PCs, routers, Web services, SSH services, RDP services, and more. For home users, Larktun can also serve as a home network app center, providing centralized access to computers, NAS devices, routers, media services, smart home services, and self-hosted applications. 3. Built-in Remote Access Toolbox Larktun includes commonly used remote access tools, so you do not need to install multiple third-party apps. SSH Terminal: Access Linux servers, routers, NAS devices, and development machines with password or key authentication. SFTP File Management: Upload, download, rename, and edit remote files. Built-in Web Browser: Access NAS dashboards, OpenWrt, Home Assistant, self-hosted websites, and internal web systems.
