NetProbeX

Read full description

NetProbeX shows you what's actually on your network โ€” 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 โ€ข Discover every device on your Wi-Fi โ€” routers, phones, laptops, printers, smart speakers, cameras โ€” with real names via mDNS/Bonjour, not just IP addresses. โ€ข Raw Response Inspector โ€” tap an open port and see the exact bytes the service returns. Copy it, export it, or send your own custom probe. โ€ข Hidden Camera Finder โ€” scan for exposed RTSP/DVR camera ports, the kind hidden cameras and unsecured IP cameras commonly leave open. โ€ข Router Vulnerability Check โ€” a read-only look at whether your router has UPnP, NAT-PMP, or Telnet left open, the three most common home-router misconfigurations. โ€ข Real diagnostics โ€” actual ICMP ping and traceroute (not an approximation), DNS lookup, and an internet speed test. โ€ข Wake on LAN โ€” save a device's MAC once and wake a sleeping PC or NAS on demand. โ€ข Rename, label, and hide devices โ€” keep notes on a busy network so you can identify the culprit fast if something causes a slowdown or an IP conflict. โ€ข Save scans and revisit them anytime. HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT CAN'T DO Apple restricts what any app โ€” including NetProbeX โ€” 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?" โ€” from home users curious about their smart devices to IT-minded people managing a busy office Wi-Fi.

CellMap

Your carrier says you have 5G. Your video keeps buffering. Who's right? CellMap puts the truth on a map. When you tired of dropped calls in your apartment, want to know which SIM actually performs better or you're driving cross-country and want to see exactly where coverage fell apart - CellMap is the tool that turns "my internet feels slow" into real numbers, real locations and real answers. SEE YOUR COVERAGE, EVERYWHERE YOU GO Every speed test and ping you run gets pinned to the map with a color that actually means something - green when your network is flying, red when it's struggling. Turn on drive-test mode and app quietly logs a point every time you move, even with the app closed, building a personal coverage map of everywhere you go. No other app does this from your own real-world data. REAL SPEED TESTS. NOT ESTIMATES. CellMap downloads and uploads actual bytes over your live connection and measures how fast they move. You get download speed, upload speed and a clean animated gauge that updates in real time as the test runs. No gimmicks, no made-up numbers. PING TEST THAT ACTUALLY PINGS This isn't a fake latency estimate. App sends real ICMP echo requests - the same thing your Mac's Terminal does when you type ping - and gives you min, avg, max, jitter and packet loss across 10 packets. Choose between Cloudflare (1.1.1.1), Google (8.8.8.8) or Quad9 (9.9.9.9). DUAL-SIM CARRIER COMPARISON Have two SIMs or an eSIM? App shows both active lines side by side with their current radio generation. And over time as you log more measurements a carrier ranking builds up automatically - so you can see with your own data which carrier actually performs better at the places you care about not the places carriers put in their ads. BACKGROUND DRIVE-TEST LOGGING Enable it once drive anywhere and open the app later. App will have logged coverage points the whole time - pinging the network quietly as you move and tagging each point to your exact location. Great for road trips, commutes or finding out once and for all where your signal disappears on the way to work. EXPORT EVERYTHING Every measurement you've ever taken exports to a CSV file - open in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets. Timestamp, coordinates, carrier, network type, download, upload, ping, jitter, packet loss, quality rating. Your data, yours to keep. BEAUTIFUL AND HONEST App is upfront about what iOS lets apps measure and what it doesn't. It won't show you fake signal bars, so no app that claims otherwise is being straight with you. What app shows is what it actually measured: real throughput, real latency, real location. Perfect for: - Remote workers who need to know if a coffee shop will actually support a video call - People switching carriers and wanting real proof of which is better - Road trippers and van lifers mapping coverage before they go off-grid - Anyone who's ever said "my internet is terrible here" and wanted to prove it Privacy Policy: https://policy-6ef9d.web.app/ Terms of Use: https://terms-345fd.web.app/
