SysOpsKit
Read full descriptionHide full description
SysOpsKit is a practical toolkit for sysadmins, DevOps engineers, SREs, and support teams. The app combines two things in one place: - an offline-first command handbook - a focused set of daily network and data utilities You can quickly find and reuse commands for Windows, Linux, and macOS (PowerShell, CMD, Bash, Zsh), save favorites, and build your own snippet collection with notes. Core capabilities: - Fast search by title, description, and tags - Favorites and personal command snippets - Copy-ready command cards with clear structure - Sync of favorites and custom snippets across devices Built-in utilities cover common operational tasks such as: - SSH terminal for remote administration - SFTP client for browsing and transferring files over SSH - TCP/UDP diagnostics, port checks, and common ports scan - DNS lookups, WHOIS/RDAP, IP info, and CIDR/subnet calculations - HTTP requests, cURL parsing, and WebSocket testing - JWT inspection, UUID/ULID generation/validation, HMAC calculator - JSON/YAML formatting, regex testing, and TLS diagnostics - Messaging protocol checks for MQTT, AMQP, and WAMP Instead of switching between many small tools and websites, keep your day-to-day ops workflow in one app that still works when your connection is limited.

One app instead of a dozen.

WHY SOCKETTA ⢠Replaces a stack of single-purpose apps (network scanner + API tester + MQTT client + BLE scanner + speed test) ⢠No ads. No account. No data collection ā everything runs on your device ⢠Fair pricing: a genuinely useful free tier, subscriptions, and a one-time lifetime purchase (no forced subscription) MEASURE ⢠Wi-Fi speed test with an instrument-grade analog gauge (download / upload / latency / jitter / packet loss) ⢠Ping (TCP, custom port), batch ping, traceroute with per-hop latency ⢠Network quality score for gaming, VoIP, video calls and streaming ⢠On-device diagnosis engine: find out why the connection is slow ā no cloud, nothing leaves your phone SCAN ⢠LAN device scanner: see every device on your network with vendor and type ⢠Port scanner (parallel), DNS & reverse DNS, mDNS browser ⢠Wake-on-LAN, UPnP/SSDP browser, network topology map, scan diff (spot new devices) ⢠SSL certificate viewer, WHOIS lookup, HTTP header analysis, subnet calculator DEVELOPER BENCH ⢠Full HTTP/REST client: methods, headers, auth, cURL import/export, Postman import, code generation (Swift, Python, JavaScript, Kotlin, PHP, cURL) ⢠WebSocket client, MQTT client, UDP/TCP send & listen, millisecond precision send engine ⢠BLE central & peripheral: scan, connect, read/write/notify, beacons, RSSI radar ⢠Cross-protocol macros, profiles, scheduled tasks, JSON/CSV/TXT export HONEST NOTES ⢠iOS does not expose MAC addresses of other devices to any app; Socketta identifies devices by vendor, hostname and mDNS data instead. ⢠Local-network features require the Local Network permission. FREE & PRO The free tier includes unlimited ping, speed test, Wi-Fi info, LAN scan, DNS, Wake-on-LAN and lightweight utilities, plus trial uses of the advanced tools and a daily message allowance.
