DNS Forge encrypts every DNS query on your iPhone, stopping your ISP, carrier, and network admin from seeing what you look up. No VPN required. No monthly fees. One tap to activate. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Every site you visit starts with a DNS query. Normally, those queries leave your device in plain text, fully visible to whoever runs your network. DNS Forge routes them over HTTPS or TLS so your browsing stays private. 6 TRUSTED PROVIDERS Six privacy-focused resolvers, pre-configured and ready: • Cloudflare: Fast, no-log DNS • Cloudflare Family: Blocks malware and adult content • AdGuard DNS: Blocks ads and trackers at the DNS level • AdGuard Family: Adds parental controls and Safe Search • Mullvad DNS: From the makers of Mullvad VPN, zero logs • Quad9: Blocks malicious domains, non-profit operated Or add your own — NextDNS, ControlD, or any DoH or DoT endpoint, including self-hosted resolvers. 10 DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS A full network toolkit, built in: • DNS Resolver Test: Confirm your resolver is active • Hijack Detector: 5-step canary check for MITM and hijacking • Benchmark: Real round-trip latency, ranked fastest to slowest • DNS Lookup: Query any domain, any record type • My IP: Public IP address and geolocation • Reverse DNS: Host lookup for any IP address • WHOIS / RDAP: Domain registration and ownership data • Domain Certificate: TLS certificate details for any site • Cert Inspector: Verify your resolver's own TLS certificate chain • HTTP Headers: Inspect response headers for any URL SMART NETWORK RULES Apply encrypted DNS exactly where you want it - always on, Wi-Fi only, cellular only, or specific SSIDs. Exclude trusted home or work networks. Rules take effect instantly. ICLOUD SYNC Custom DNS profiles sync automatically across all your devices. WIDGET + SHORTCUTS See your active resolver and whether DNS is currently applied on your home screen or lock screen. Build automations in the Shortcuts app to change resolvers by network, time, or any trigger. DNS Forge uses Apple's Network Extension framework to apply DNS settings at the OS level. Your queries go directly to your chosen resolver. DNS Forge never sees them. DNS Forge is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Cloudflare, AdGuard, Mullvad, Quad9, NextDNS, or ControlD.

About

WiFi Devices Quick

Features
Read full description

WiFi Devices Quick helps you see supported Bonjour service endpoints published on your current local Wi-Fi network. Start a foreground discovery, review the exact service name, type, domain, and observed interface, then mark an endpoint as known or unknown and add a local alias. Compare the current successful result with the previous successful discovery. Features: - User-initiated foreground Bonjour discovery - Fixed, declared set of common local service types - Exact service endpoint identity without guessing physical devices - Known or unknown classification and local aliases - New, continued, and previously observed differences - Clear empty, partial, timeout, permission, and Wi-Fi recovery states - English and Japanese support Important limitations: The app does not list every device on a network. A device appears only when it publishes a supported Bonjour service that the iPhone can observe. Guest networks, client isolation, firewalls, and service configuration may affect results. The app does not determine IP address, vendor, owner, physical-device count, or security status, and it does not scan ports, inspect traffic, or run in the background. No account, usage analytics, advertising, or cloud sync is included. Discovery and saved information are not sent off your device. Crash reports are sent through Firebase Crashlytics to fix bugs, and you can turn this off in Settings.
