TrueDash vs Ping NetTool

TrueDash: TrueNAS in your pocket. Built with security and privacy in mind. TrueDash is a fast, native iOS dashboard for your TrueNAS SCALE server. Monitor your system, manage your apps, storage and backups, and get push alerts when something needs attention, all in an app built on Apple's Liquid Glass design for iOS 26. Security & privacy first Your server, your data, nobody else's. TrueDash is engineered so your credentials and data never leave your control: • No analytics, no tracking, no ads, no third-party servers. • Credentials (API keys, passwords, tokens) are stored only in the iOS Keychain. • Sensitive values stay hidden on screen until you reveal them, and re-hide while your screen is recorded. • Every connection is verified with certificate pinning (Trust On First Use) to guard against interception. • Works over your local network or your own WireGuard VPN, and TrueDash never proxies your data through us. Monitor at a glance • Live dashboard: CPU, memory, network and disk I/O, uptime and system health. • Storage pools with capacity, topology and scrub status. • Disk health: temperature, error counts and drive details for every disk, with a clear warning when one needs attention. • Backups: see every snapshot, replication, Cloud Sync and rsync task and whether its last run succeeded. • Active jobs and system alerts, front and center, with TrueNAS's own guidance on how to fix them. • Customize your Status layout: reorder and hide cards to see what matters to you. Manage everything • Apps: start, stop, restart and update your TrueNAS apps, view their logs, and open their web interface with one tap. • App settings: change ports, CPU and memory limits, timezone, folders and environment variables without opening the web UI. • Stacks & Containers: control Portainer stacks, containers and virtual machines, including older VMs, with a force stop for an unresponsive one. • Shares: view your SMB and NFS shares, toggle them on or off, and choose which users can reach an SMB share. • Users: manage SMB access, lock or unlock accounts, and reset passwords. Push notifications, self-hosted Get alerted about low pool space, degraded pools, app updates and TrueNAS system alerts, delivered through a lightweight notifier you install on your own TrueNAS with a single tap. No cloud account required. Ready for what's next Built for TrueNAS 26 and its new API, and designed to make full use of larger screens. TrueDash Pro unlocks app, stack, container, share and user management plus push notifications. Start with a free trial, then just CHF 1.00 / month. Cancel anytime.

Ping Network Tool is the network diagnostic companion that works for everyone — from the non-technical user who just wants to know whether the internet is down, to the developer or sysadmin who needs raw ICMP data and route tracing on the go. SIMPLE MODE — ONE TAP IS ALL IT TAKES Open the app and you are greeted by a single, friendly screen: "Is my internet working?" Tap the button. Within seconds, Ping Network Tool sends a probe to a reliable server, interprets the result, and answers in plain language — "Internet is available. Your connection is working normally." or an equally clear explanation of what went wrong and what you might try. No jargon, no numbers to decode. If you are curious about the underlying data, tap "See technical details" to reveal the raw ping output, or tap "Switch to Advanced" to unlock the full toolkit. ADVANCED MODE — LINUX-FAITHFUL PING OUTPUT IN YOUR POCKET Power users and professionals get a streamlined terminal-style interface with three tabs: Ping, History, and Network. The Ping tab lets you enter any hostname or IP address, choose your packet size, interval, and count, then press Ping to watch results stream in line by line — exactly as you would see them in a Linux terminal. A live RTT graph plots each round-trip time as responses arrive, giving you an instant visual of jitter and packet loss. When you are done, tap Trace to run a full traceroute to the same host and see every hop between your device and the destination, with per-hop latency. Copy the entire session output to the clipboard with one tap for sharing or logging. The History tab preserves every ping and traceroute session automatically. Browse past runs, review RTT statistics — min, avg, max, and mdev — and compare connectivity over time. Sessions persist across restarts so you always have a record. The Network tab shows a live snapshot of this device: your Wi-Fi IP address, external IP (via ipify.org), DNS server, and detected country. Tap Refresh at any time to update the external IP or country information. It is ideal for quickly verifying VPN connectivity, confirming your external address, or checking which DNS resolver your device is using. HOST BOOK — SAVE AND REUSE YOUR TARGETS The Host book stores up to five hosts in the free plan so you can jump straight to the targets you care about without retyping them. Each saved host can also be enrolled in background monitoring, which silently pings it at regular intervals and alerts you when it becomes unreachable. PREMIUM — ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION Ping Network Tool is free to use with no time limit. A single optional in-app purchase of $1.99 unlocks the full feature set permanently: • TCP Ping: probe a specific port number instead of relying on ICMP alone. Useful for checking whether a web server, mail server, or game server is actually accepting connections on the relevant port. • Unlimited hosts and monitoring: remove the 5-host limit in the host book and enable background monitoring for as many targets as you need. • No upsell banners: permanently removes the promotional banner and weekly reminder that appear in the free plan. • Family Sharing: the purchase is shared automatically with everyone in your Family Sharing group on iOS at no extra cost. There is no subscription, no auto-renewal, and no hidden fees. Pay once and the unlock is yours forever, even after reinstalls. PRIVACY AND PERMISSIONS Ping Network Tool does not collect personal information. Network requests are limited to the hosts you explicitly choose to probe and a single call to ipify.org to retrieve your external IP address when you open the Network tab. No account is required. No data is uploaded to any server. Whether you are a home user troubleshooting a slow connection, a network engineer checking infrastructure from your phone, or a developer verifying that a deployment is reachable — Ping Network Tool is the fast, clean tool you have been looking for.
