Look is a private photo library app for people who run their own photo server. Connect your iPhone or iPad to a Look server over Tailscale, then browse, search, organize, and inspect your photo archive without moving your library into a public cloud service. Look is built for self-hosted libraries: β’ Browse a fast, full-screen photo grid β’ Search by filename, tag, camera metadata, and path β’ View albums and smart collections from your server β’ Open photo details with EXIF, dimensions, file type, tags, and location metadata β’ Long-press photos to enter multi-select β’ Save selected photos back to your device when you choose β’ Connect with a Tailscale MagicDNS name or private Tailscale IP address β’ Use an optional API key when your server requires one Look does not provide cloud photo hosting. You need a running Look server that your device can reach over Tailscale or another trusted private network.
Digger DNS lookup
Read full descriptionHide full description
Digger is a DNS lookup tool for iPhone. Enter a name, pick a record type, and inspect the full current Resultβwithout uploading your queries. It talks DNS directly. It does not run the dig command. Switch between a structured view and generated dig-style text, then copy or share the view you are looking at. Query A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, PTR, SRV, CAA, HTTPS, and SVCB. Use the system resolver or a custom server. Choose automatic, UDP, or TCP. EDNS is on by default; the DO bit is optional. Cancel a Query in flight. Results include the response code, flags, all four sections, timing, and wire size. NXDOMAIN and SERVFAIL are DNS Results, not crashes. Digger does not validate DNSSEC. Privacy: Query data is not uploaded. Results are discarded when you leave them. Recent Queries stay on this device as name + type only. Clear History anytime in Settings. Digger is not a VPN or device-wide DNS changer. No DoH, DoT, or zone transfers.
