NetGuard vs Home Floorplan

NetGuard is a free iPhone app that scans your WiFi network in one tap and lists every connected device with a friendly name, type, IP address, and the services it exposes. It flags new, returned, and missing devices so you always know what changed and can spot anything that should not be on your network. NetGuard is free and ad supported, with an optional one-time NetGuard Pro purchase (no subscription, ever) that removes ads and adds deeper security tools. FREE - Scan your WiFi and see every device - Device details: name, type, IP, Bonjour services - Current network, connectivity and public IP - Speed test: download, upload and ping - Ping and DNS lookup tools NetGuard is free to use and ad supported. NETGUARD PRO (one-time purchase, no subscription, ever) - Removes all ads, permanently - Network security score with plain language fixes - New device alert log: a history of who joined your WiFi - Background intruder alerts - Name and track your devices - What changed: new, returned and missing devices - Port scanner, traceroute, Wake on LAN, router security check - CSV and PDF export Pay once and keep it forever. No subscription. No tracking. Privacy first: NetGuard does not collect your data. Note that iOS does not expose MAC addresses to apps, so device identity is based on names and services.

Home Floorplan gives your Apple Home setup a visual control layer. Place accessories on a floorplan, open room details, control lights, climate devices, sensors, covers, locks, and scenes, then build automations with a focused editor designed for real homes. The app can help you understand environmental trends, review smart home habits, and generate optional AI-assisted suggestions when you choose to configure an AI provider. Your home remains under your control: HomeKit permissions are required for accessory access, and AI features are optional. Key features: - Interactive floorplan for HomeKit accessories - Room-based accessory overview - Scene and automation creation tools - Environmental dashboard for compatible sensors - Smart suggestions for comfort, air quality, and routines - Optional AI assistant for reviewing home context and actions - Local-first saved floorplan and app preferences - Home Floorplan is designed for people who want a clearer, more spatial way to manage a HomeKit home.
