Is someone on your Wi-Fi right now? Mikat shows every device connected to your network as a dot on a radar: phones, TVs, cameras, and the ones you don't recognize. Then it tells you what to fix: a router panel left open, a factory password, a port exposed to the internet. Instead of technical tables, your home appears as a RADAR: every device connected to your Wi-Fi is a dot on the screen. At a glance you know what's on your network, what's fine, and what needs attention. WHAT IT DOES • Discovers the devices on your Wi-Fi network: phones, computers, TVs, cameras, consoles, printers and more. • Shows your home's status with a visual radar and a simple traffic light: good, review, or take action. • Explains risks in plain language: what's happening, how serious it is, and what to do. • Checks your connection from the outside (your public IP) to detect exposed ports and services, with your permission. BUILT FOR PEOPLE, NOT FOR EXPERTS No jargon. Every finding comes with a simple explanation; for vulnerabilities, the details and the steps to fix them come with Plus and Enterprise. A NOTE ABOUT YOUR SECURITY SOFTWARE Because the app checks the devices on your network, some security or firewall tools (ESET, Defender, Norton...) may show a "port scan" alert during the analysis. This is normal and expected: it's the app itself working on YOUR network, not a threat. Use Mikat only on networks you own. PRIVACY FIRST Mikat works on YOUR own network and YOUR own connection. It does not capture the content of your traffic, does not scan other people's networks, and does not sell your information. The external analysis is performed only on your public IP and only with your explicit consent. MY INTERNET, EXPLAINED Is your internet slow? Mikat measures the speed and tells you the cause: your home Wi-Fi, your router, your provider, or a device using a lot. It also counts how much your home uses today and for what type of use (video, games, downloads and updates, calls, browsing); seeing which device and on what comes with Mikat Plus. Mikat only counts bytes per device and per type: it does not store which sites you visit, and it deletes the counts after 30 days. “Read my router” checks your router, read-only, to see what the whole home uses; the password is used on the spot and is not stored. New networks stay provisional until you claim them as yours, and Miko falls asleep when all is calm. MIKAT PLUS (OPTIONAL) Mikat is free: it scans your network as often as you like, looks for vulnerabilities on your devices and saves what it finds. Mikat Plus shows you the details of each vulnerability and what to do to fix it, and adds automatic monitoring for new devices, security history and trends, and prioritized recommendations. Includes a 7-day free trial; after that it renews automatically until you cancel. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID Settings. You can log out and delete your account and your data at any time from within the app. A product of Lanicom S.A.S.
