ComDeck is the developer's command deck — 16 native network and system tools in one dark-mode app with a built-in terminal toggle. EVERY TOOL HAS TWO MODES Tap the terminal icon to switch between a polished UI with charts and raw terminal output with ANSI colors. Type commands directly in the terminal input bar. FREE (6 tools) - Ping — Real-time latency graphs with TCP probes - DNS Lookup — Resolve A, AAAA, MX, TXT records instantly - IP Info — Public IP, geolocation, and network details - Whois — Organization, ISP, ASN, coordinates, reverse DNS, proxy detection - Device Info — CPU, RAM, battery, model, and OS details - Port Check — Scan common ports with service identification BASIC — $9.99/month (11 tools total) - Traceroute — Hop-by-hop path visualization - WiFi Analyzer — Signal strength, channels, and security - HTTP Client — Full request builder with header control - SSL Inspector — Certificate chain and expiry validation - Speed Test — Download, upload, and latency via Cloudflare PRO — $49.99/month (all 16 tools) - JSON Debugger — Tree view, path queries, structural diff, pretty-print, URL fetch, sensitive-key masking - Log Viewer — Live OSLog streaming with multi-level filters, histogram, marking, recording, and export (text, JSON, CSV) - Process Manager — Read-only process tree with ancestors, children, search, and export (macOS) - Scheduled Tasks — Read-only LaunchAgent inspector with decoded schedules and user-granted folder access (macOS) - Security Scanner — 15 sandbox-safe local posture checks (OS version, Gatekeeper, biometrics, code signing, keychain, trust store, volume encryption, and more) plus remote host audit (DNS, port scan, TLS handshake, security headers) BUILT NATIVE No web views. No wrappers. Built on Network.framework, Security.framework, OSLog, and SwiftUI. Every tool runs natively on your device. PRIVACY FIRST No analytics. No tracking. No ads. All tools run locally — nothing about your network, system, or lookups is transmitted to any server operated by ComDeck. HONEST ABOUT THE SANDBOX Some system-level checks (FileVault, firewall, system-wide processes) require admin privileges unavailable to sandboxed apps. ComDeck does not fake these results. The Security Scanner clearly labels which checks are intentionally skipped and why, so the data you see is real. TIER POLICY Higher tiers include all tools from lower tiers. Upgrade or downgrade anytime. Terms of Use: https://comdeck.app/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://comdeck.app/privacy.html

Prism Ping

Prism Ping is the ping app, reimagined: one field, one button — and underneath, everything a technician, gamer or remote worker actually wants to know about a connection. Free. No ads. No account. No tracking. PING, DONE PROPERLY • ICMP ping over IPv4 and IPv6 to any host name or IP address • The resolved address is always shown — even on timeouts, when you need it most • Live latency chart with lost packets marked in red • Every reply timestamped, with sequence, bytes, TTL and round-trip time • Sent / received / lost / loss %, min / avg / max / stddev • Jitter, p50 / p95 / p99 percentiles and an A+ to F quality grade • Exact controls, not sliders: interval from 100 ms to 60 s, timeout, packet size 0–1472 bytes, TTL, count or continuous • Switch to any other address the host resolves to with one tap HEAR IT • Audible ping: a tick for every reply, a low buzz when a packet is lost • Haptics on loss and on latency spikes above a threshold you set • Walk a site and listen instead of watching the screen WATCH SEVERAL HOSTS AT ONCE • Put your router, your DNS resolver and a public site side by side • Status colour, last round-trip, loss % and a sparkline for each • "Is it me or is it them?" answered at a glance FAVORITES THAT STAY PUT • Save hosts with a name and a group; reorder, edit, one-tap ping • Recents remembered; both survive restarts and updates HISTORY YOU CAN KEEP • Every finished session saved on the device with its chart, statistics and full log • Share as text (ping-command style) or CSV • Search by host or address; delete anything, any time TOOLS • DNS lookup — A, AAAA, CNAME and reverse (PTR) • Port check — TCP connect to one port or the common set, with timings • My Network — interfaces and local addresses; public IP only when you ask BUILT LIKE AN APPLE APP • Native SwiftUI on iPhone and iPad, light and dark, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver labels • A few megabytes, no third-party frameworks • iOS suspends apps in the background after about 30 seconds — Prism Ping stops the run cleanly and tells you, instead of freezing and leaving a gap in the log PRIVACY Prism Ping collects nothing. Favorites, recents and history live in the app's own folder on your device. The only network traffic it makes is the traffic you ask for: pings to the hosts you enter, DNS through the device's resolver, TCP connects for port checks. The optional public-IP button asks a lookup service, and only when you tap it. Support: https://prismdatagroup.com/prismping/support Privacy: https://prismdatagroup.com/prismping/privacy
