KNOW WHAT IS ON YOUR NETWORK Network Scan discovers devices on the Wi-Fi networks you join and gives you a clear, private inventory on your iPhone and iPad. See responding hosts, names, likely device types, services, open ports, and last-seen details without creating an account. WAKE A COMPUTER FOR FREE Save a compatible machine and send a Wake-on-LAN magic packet from your phone or tablet. Wake works best with wired desktops and servers that have Wake-on-LAN enabled in firmware and the operating system. SSH IS PRO Use a real, interactive SSH terminal with multiple sessions and essential keys above the keyboard. On iPhone, the terminal fills the screen and a slide-up drawer keeps saved hosts and open sessions close at hand. On iPad, a persistent Connections sidebar keeps hosts and sessions visible beside the terminal. Pro also adds: - Wake + SSH in one tap. Wake the machine, wait for its SSH service, and connect automatically. - Sleep requests over SSH, with presets for Linux, macOS, and Windows. - Custom device names, larger port scans, CSV export, and full scan history. CURRENT, HISTORY, AND SAVED Keep today's network view separate from dated scan snapshots and the machines you intentionally save. Watch network can check for changes for up to 10 minutes while the app is open, with optional alert tones. PRACTICAL NETWORK TOOLS Use Ping, DNS lookup, TCP checks, port scanning, banner checks, subnet tools, and other focused diagnostics. Results stay connected to the work you started. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Network Scan has no app account, advertising SDK, analytics SDK, or SEM cloud service. Scan history and saved connections stay on your device. Passwords and private keys are stored in iOS Keychain only when you choose to save them. FREE AND PRO Network scanning, essential diagnostics, and Wake-on-LAN are free. SSH is Pro. - Yearly: $19.99 USD, with a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. - Lifetime: $49.99 USD as a one-time purchase. - No monthly plan.

Wake-on-LAN requires compatible hardware, host configuration, and local network access. Wake + SSH requires a reachable SSH service and saved credentials.
