NetScanner is a native iPhone network debugging tool built for developers, testers, security researchers, and advanced users who need to inspect HTTP and HTTPS traffic directly on device. It is designed to make mobile traffic inspection faster, clearer, and more practical for day-to-day debugging work. With NetScanner, you can capture requests and responses in real time, review key request details, manage HTTPS certificate setup, and keep your debugging workflow on the device. The app focuses on practical inspection and troubleshooting, while also providing utilities that help speed up API testing and request analysis. 1. Real-time traffic inspection Capture HTTP and HTTPS traffic on iPhone and review requests, responses, status codes, timing, headers, body content, and other key details in one place. 2. HTTPS setup and debugging workflow Follow guided certificate setup steps, inspect request and response data more clearly, and use the app as a daily debugging companion for interface analysis and issue investigation. 3. Request analysis and editing Review request content in detail, replay requests, edit parameters, and quickly verify API behavior during testing and troubleshooting. 4. Rewrite rules and local debugging Apply rewrite rules for request or response debugging, adjust traffic behavior, and support more flexible development and verification scenarios. 5. Session history and HAR export Keep captured sessions organized, review previous traffic records, and export HAR files when you need to share or archive debugging results. 6. Built-in developer utilities Use integrated tools such as JSON formatting, URL encode/decode, Base64 encode/decode, regex testing, hash generation, and timestamp conversion without leaving the app. Captured traffic and debugging data stay on device unless you explicitly choose to export or share them. - Terms of Service:https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ - Privacy Policy:https://my.feishu.cn/wiki/WoLPwKrZEiXEb3kCutlcgpw9nff

KNX Inspector is a professional analysis and diagnostics app for KNX/IP installations on iPhone and iPad. The app connects to KNX/IP gateways and interfaces, monitors telegrams in real time, checks group addresses, analyzes physical device addresses, and compares live data with imported ETS projects. The app was developed for commissioning, service, troubleshooting, and technical analysis. It is ideal for system integrators, service technicians, and anyone who needs to understand, test, and document KNX systems during live operation. Key Features: * Connection to KNX/IP gateways and interfaces * Network search via KNX multicast and local gateway discovery * Live monitoring of KNX telegrams * Filters for direction, telegram type, search text, and group address * Raw data and plain-text display with DPT reference * Bus alarm for targeted monitoring of group or device addresses * DPT test for reading and writing group addresses * Line scan for physical KNX device addresses * Telegram scan for active group communication * Complete analysis combining device discovery and telegram monitoring * ETS / .knxproj import for the Compare ETS feature * Project structure with functions, buildings, rooms, and topology * Export functions for documentation and sharing * Local session and history management Supported devices include KNXnet/IP-compatible devices, interfaces, and routers accessible via the standard UDP port 3671. This includes, for example, KNX/IP gateways and interfaces from manufacturers such as MDT, Gira, Jung, Hager, Weinzierl, ABB, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Theben, and Busch-Jaeger. With the Live Monitor, you can observe KNX telegrams in real time. The app displays the source, destination, group address, payload, telegram type, and, wherever possible, decoded values. Filters help you track specific communication patterns, group addresses, or responses. The Bus Map combines devices, group activity, and communication patterns into a structured analysis. This allows you to quickly identify which participants are active, which group addresses are being used, and which transmitters generate the most traffic. With Compare ETS, you can cross-reference live data with an imported ETS project. This reveals which devices were detected live, which project devices are missing, which groups are active, and where discrepancies exist between the live bus and the project data. The DPT Test is ideal for targeted functional testing. Group addresses can be read or written, and supported DPTs are decoded and displayed as clearly as possible. This allows you to directly test switching, dimming, temperature values, scenes, and many other typical KNX functions. A complete list of supported decoded KNX data types, as well as technical notes, is available online via the support URL. KNX Inspector works locally on your device and is optimized for practical on-site work. The app is particularly suitable for: * Commissioning KNX systems * Service and maintenance work * Troubleshooting telegram and group address issues * Comparing live installations with the ETS project * Documenting technical observations * Remote monitoring of the KNX bus via VPN For technical inquiries or general support, please use the support URL. A user manual and technical notes are also available online. Note: KNX is a registered trademark of the KNX Association. This application was developed independently and is not an official product of the KNX Association.
