mDNS vs LanLens

mDNS Browser helps you discover Bonjour, DNS SD (DNS Service Discovery), and common Avahi-advertised services on your local network. What you can do • Browse by service type, with useful presets and custom types • See IPv4 and IPv6 together, and filter what matters to you • Quick filter across instance name, hostname, type, addresses, and TXT records • Sort results so large scans stay manageable • Open a detail view, copy IPs and TXT lines, and run TCP or UDP reachability checks (chosen automatically from the service type) • Open HTTP or HTTPS in the system browser when a service resolves to a usable URL Privacy • Discovery runs on your LAN; the app is not designed to upload your scan results to our servers (there is no account system in the app). Notes • Whether a service appears depends on it actually advertising on the current network, and on multicast not being blocked by routers, VLANs, or firewalls. • Some services bind only to certain interfaces or subnets and may be invisible from other devices. Turn noisy LAN discovery into a clear, filterable, verifiable dashboard.

Track what's on your network. LanLens remembers the state of your network and tells you if something changes. No always-on computer, no extra hardware. Just your iPhone or iPad, checking in on your network. LanLens scans your local network and shows you its devices in a clean, native interface built for iPhone and iPad. Scan again and LanLens tells you exactly what changed: Which devices are new, which have returned, and which have departed. No more wondering whether that unfamiliar device showed up today or was there all along. With LanLens Pro, scanning runs periodically in the background. If a new device shows up, LanLens tells you. Even if the app isn't open. Your network stays your business: No account. No tracking. Zero data collected. Everything lives on your device. (iCloud sync opt-in available if you want to.) ALWAYS FREE - Scan your whole network (no device cap) - See what changed since your last scan - Get details for every device - Rename devices and networks, assign icons - Browse recent network history LANLENS PRO - Background scanning with alerts for changes - Customizable notifications and filters - Unlimited network history - All your networks tracked - iCloud sync across your iPhone and iPad (opt-in) A note on scanning: Like any iOS network scanner, LanLens discovers the devices it can see on your local network. Some stay quiet and may not always appear, but the change view stays useful no matter what. ---- LanLens Pro is offered as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
