DeviceShelf

DeviceShelf shows you every device on your network β what it is, what it exposes, and whether it's a risk. No account, no telemetry, no hidden cloud. Your network data stays on your device. WHAT YOU GET β’ See every device: name, vendor, type, IP and open ports, discovered over Bonjour and port probing. β’ Security at a glance: a risk score with plain-language findings β open Telnet, exposed SMB, weak defaults, aging TLS certificates, known CVEs. β’ Diagnostics that answer real questions: ping, speed test, DNS lookup, and your public IP and ISP. β’ Ask the built-in assistant about your network in plain language. Bring your own AI key β nothing is sent unless you turn it on. β’ Watch devices come and go, with per-device uptime. PAIR WITH YOUR COMPUTER OR SERVER iOS limits how deeply an app can scan a network. Connect to DeviceShelf on your Mac or PC, or to a 24/7 DeviceShelf server, and this app pulls the full inventory β every device's vendor, name and MAC β plus its security report and timeline. One license covers desktop, server and mobile. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No sign-up. No tracking. Nothing leaves your device unless you enable an optional feature. License checks work offline. OPTIONAL AI, CLEAR CONSENT If you configure a cloud AI provider, DeviceShelf asks before sending anything. The consent screen shows the provider, endpoint, and exact data categories first: your question or selected network/device signals such as IP addresses, pseudonymised MAC addresses, host/device names, vendors, open ports, service banners, certificate names, OS hints and security findings. Local providers such as Ollama do not need cloud consent. Try it free for 7 days. One-time purchase, no subscription.

Tesphase is your home solar command center, see your whole system at a glance, and let it automatically charge your EV with the sunshine you're not using. Most solar owners have no idea how much power they send back to the grid for pennies. Tesphase shows you, live production, home consumption, and the excess available right now then puts that excess to work: it charges your Tesla with free solar instead of expensive grid power, adjusting in real time as the sun moves. Depending on your rates and usage, that can mean $50β$300 a month back in your pocket. ONE DASHBOARD FOR YOUR SOLAR β’ Live solar production and home consumption β’ Real-time excess solar available β’ Daily and monthly energy and dollar savings β’ Time-of-use rate awareness so you avoid peak-price charging AUTOMATIC SOLAR EV CHARGING β’ Starts, adjusts, and stops your Tesla's charging to match your excess solar β’ Pauses during peak utility hours β’ Full manual override any time WORKS WITH YOUR SYSTEM β’ Solar: Enphase, SolarEdge, Tesla Energy (Solar / Powerwall), Generac PWRcell, and Sunrun (via your underlying inverter) β’ EV: Tesla Model 3, Y, S, and X (any year supporting the Tesla Fleet API) HOW SETUP WORKS 1.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tesphase at none against DeviceShelf's 3. Tesphase also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
