Manage zones, records, blocking and settings of your servers and clusters from your iPhone, with a search that finds any record on every server at once. YOUR ZONES AND RECORDS * Create, edit, disable and delete records of all common types: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, CAA, HTTPS, SVCB, TLSA, SSHFP, NS, PTR, ANAME, FWD, APP records and more * Primary, secondary, stub and forwarder zones, zone options, import and export * DNSSEC: sign zones and view DS records * Expiry TTL, comments and reverse (PTR) records right in the editor SEARCH EVERYTHING One search box for all your servers. Use plain text or a simple query language: type:A,AAAA, value:10.0.*, zone:*.lan, is:disabled, has:comment, regular expressions and more. Secondary copies are kept apart so you only see what you can edit. BULK CHANGES Select records across zones and servers and change them together: find and replace in value enabled state. You see a preview of every change and confirm before anything is written. CLUSTERS TechniPocket understands Technitium clusters. Switch between nodes, see cluster wide statistics and jump to the node where a zone can be edited. EVERYTHING ELSE * Dashboard with queries, blocked requests, charts and top lists * Blocking on, off or paused for 5, 30 or 60 minutes, blocked and allowed domains * Server settings, TSIG keys, DNS apps, DNS client, query logs, cache, DHCP scopes and leases, sessions * Long press menus, light and dark mode PRIVATE BY DESIGN The app talks directly to your servers. There is no account, no analytics and no tracking. Your password is used once to create an API token, which is stored in the iOS Keychain. Removing a server revokes that token.

Plain HTTP on the local network and HTTPS with a trusted certificate are supported. TechniPocket is an independent app by Spasojevic Aleksandar (SPAL) and not affiliated with Technitium.
