NetworkTools and SSH with AI
Read full descriptionHide full description
Description: AI Diagnostics — Describe the problem. Get the answer. Something's wrong with your network but you're not sure where to start? Just type or speak what's happening. The AI diagnostics assistant analyzes your problem, selects the right tools, runs them on your device, and explains the results in plain English. Tell it "I can't connect to my work VPN" and it will ping your VPN server, check DNS resolution, probe the required ports, trace the route, and tell you exactly where the connection breaks — whether it's a DNS misconfiguration, a blocked port, or a routing issue. Ask "Why is my internet so slow?" and it measures latency, checks for packet loss, tests download speed, scans for WiFi interference, and identifies the bottleneck. The assistant uses 18 diagnostic tools under the hood: ping, traceroute, DNS queries (A, AAAA, MX, NS, CNAME, TXT, SOA, PTR), TCP port probing, WHOIS lookups, TLS certificate inspection, HTTP security header checks, CORS validation, subdomain enumeration, directory scanning, email security checks, wireless scanning, and local device stats. It chains multiple tools together automatically — a single question might trigger a ping, a traceroute, a port scan, and a DNS check without you naming a single command. Choose on-device mode for complete privacy (Apple's model runs locally, your data never leaves your device) or cloud mode for deeper reasoning with a more capable model. AI SSH Client — Speak to your servers in plain language. SSH into any Linux or macOS server and tell the AI agent what you need. It translates your goal into the correct shell commands, runs them, and explains the results — no memorizing flags or syntax. Tap one of the quick-start tasks or just type: "Find files over 500MB on this server," "Check which services failed to start," "Show me disk usage on every mount," or "List the top 10 processes eating memory." The agent runs the right commands (find, systemctl, df, ps) and explains what each result means. It handles multi-step workflows — "Install nginx and configure it to serve on port 8080" becomes a sequence of commands it executes and verifies step by step. Use your voice to speak commands naturally. Real-time speech recognition transcribes into terminal input, and the agent interprets intent even when you're imprecise. Say "make sure the server's firewall isn't blocking port 3000" and the agent checks iptables rules directly. SSH connections sync across your devices when signed in, so your server list follows you from Mac to iPhone to iPad. Everything Else You Need Ping hosts, trace routes with geolocation, resolve DNS records, query WHOIS registration data, scan port ranges, test your download and upload bandwidth, discover every device on your local network, and analyze WiFi signal quality — all from one app. Native on iPhone, iPad, and Mac with full iPad multitasking support. • Privacy first: on-device AI never sends your data anywhere. No tracking, no analytics. • Sign in with Apple for optional cloud AI and connection sync. • Free to use with all diagnostic tools included. NetworkTools is for anyone who needs to know what's happening on their network — whether you run servers, fix WiFi for family, or just want to understand why a website won't load.
NetProbeX

NetProbeX shows you what's actually on your network — not just that a device exists, but what it's running and what it's exposing. WHY NETPROBEX Most network scanners tell you "a device is here" and stop. NetProbeX goes further: tap any open port and see the exact raw data the service sends back, in hex and ASCII, just like a professional network tool. No other consumer scanner shows you this. Everything runs on your device. There's no account to create, no cloud backend, and nothing about your network is ever sent anywhere except the one optional, manual public-IP check you can trigger yourself. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Discover every device on your Wi-Fi — routers, phones, laptops, printers, smart speakers, cameras — with real names via mDNS/Bonjour, not just IP addresses. • Raw Response Inspector — tap an open port and see the exact bytes the service returns. Copy it, export it, or send your own custom probe. • Hidden Camera Finder — scan for exposed RTSP/DVR camera ports, the kind hidden cameras and unsecured IP cameras commonly leave open. • Router Vulnerability Check — a read-only look at whether your router has UPnP, NAT-PMP, or Telnet left open, the three most common home-router misconfigurations. • Real diagnostics — actual ICMP ping and traceroute (not an approximation), DNS lookup, and an internet speed test. • Wake on LAN — save a device's MAC once and wake a sleeping PC or NAS on demand. • Rename, label, and hide devices — keep notes on a busy network so you can identify the culprit fast if something causes a slowdown or an IP conflict. • Save scans and revisit them anytime. HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT CAN'T DO Apple restricts what any app — including NetProbeX — can see about other devices' real hardware (MAC) addresses, as a privacy protection. NetProbeX respects this rather than trying to work around it: device identification relies on network behavior, hostnames, and mDNS names, which is what makes NetProbeX reliable where other scanners overpromise. Built for anyone who's ever wondered "what is that device on my network?" — from home users curious about their smart devices to IT-minded people managing a busy office Wi-Fi.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NetProbeX at none against NetworkTools and SSH with AI's 2. NetworkTools and SSH with AI's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
