LanPulse vs IP Scanner & Service Watcher

LanPulse brings essential network tools together in one fast, native, local-first app for iPhone and iPad. Scan your local network, inspect active hosts, check open ports, run DNS lookups, inspect TLS certificates, launch a traceroute, monitor latency, wake a machine with Wake-on-LAN, and keep an eye on your infrastructure from a clean real-time dashboard. It is built for sysadmins, IT technicians, consultants, makers, and homelab enthusiasts who want serious network tools in their pocket. Core features: - LAN scanner with detailed host views - Multi-Ping and real-time monitoring - Dashboard with trends and recent network events - Port scanner with detected services - Full DNS lookup - TLS inspector and batch checks - Visual traceroute - SNMP browser - Wake-on-LAN - Wi-Fi analyzer - Whois, subnet calculator, and LAN speed test - Local vault for credentials and TOTP codes Product model: - Free: Scanner, Dashboard, Multi-Ping, DNS Lookup, Wi-Fi Analyzer, and read-only timeline or journal - Pro: Port Scanner, TLS, Traceroute, SNMP, Whois, LAN Speed Test, Watchlist, Vault, advanced exports, and richer widgets - No subscription: one-time Pro unlock with a 14-day free trial Privacy: LanPulse is designed to be local-first. Network data, technical history, and sensitive items stay on the device. No ad tracking, no third-party analytics, and no marketing collection. When a feature needs an external lookup, the action is started explicitly by the user. LanPulse helps you diagnose, inventory, and monitor a local network with a clear, fast, and privacy-conscious workflow.

IP Scanner & Service Watcher is a field toolkit for IT support engineers, network administrators, CCTV/camera technicians, and home lab users. Diagnose the network you are connected to, discover LAN devices, check open ports, inspect TLS certificates, resolve DNS, run ping/traceroute, and watch important services from your phone. KEY FEATURES - LAN discovery: scan the current subnet or a custom CIDR/IP range and review device IP, MAC, vendor, online/offline state, and open-port status. - Port scanning: use focused profiles for IT, servers, network devices, and CCTV systems, or enter custom ports and ranges. - Multi-instance tasks: run ping, LAN port checks, WAN checks, traceroute, and loop scans side by side, then jump back to each live task from the running-task badge. - WAN visibility: detect public IPv4/IPv6 and check public port reachability through an external probe. - Network tools: Ping, DNS Lookup, Traceroute, Website Check, Site Alive, Endpoint Health, Content Match, SSL/TLS Check, Domain Expiry, Subnet Calculator, Wake-on-LAN, and MAC vendor lookup. - Service Watchers: convert supported tool runs into recurring checks with healthy/failing/recovered states, thresholds, cooldowns, history, and optional notifications. - Clear diagnostics: TLS, HTTP, DNS, TCP, IPv6, and OS-level limitations are reported clearly so field work does not stop at a vague network error. The app is designed for networks and systems you own or are authorized to test. It is not a nearby Wi-Fi/SSID scanner, Wi-Fi analyzer, wardriving tool, VPN, proxy, or broad internet scanner. No account is required for the core scanning tools.
