Is it my Wi-Fi, or is the site down? Where does the connection break? Why does Safari distrust this certificate? Is my public IP really mine, or am I behind my carrier's NAT? Did my computer really wake up? Radien answers these questions on your iPhone or iPad, directly on the device, and honest about what it can and can't see. No ads, no trackers, no analytics, no accounts. Nothing you type is sent to a server we operate. WHAT'S INSIDE • Radien Checkup: one run checks your Wi-Fi, router, internet, DNS and websites, and tells you what is wrong. • Wake on LAN: wake a computer, NAS or server on your network, then watch it wake. Radien sends the Magic Packet, watches for an answer, and says whether it woke and what to check if it did not. Siri, Shortcuts and widgets can wake it too. • Ping: latency, jitter and packet loss to any host, with a live chart and a plain-language verdict. Your router is one tap away. • Multi Ping: compare up to four hosts side by side, at once. Saved groups load a whole comparison in one tap. • Traceroute: every hop between you and a destination, with reverse-DNS names and a read of where delay or loss truly begins. • DNS Lookup & Reverse DNS: query A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS and more against the system resolver or Google, Cloudflare and Quad9. Enter an IP for a reverse PTR lookup. • Port Scanner: which TCP ports are open, closed or filtered (usually a firewall), never a fake vulnerability claim. • TLS Inspector: read a site's TLS/SSL certificate chain, protocol versions and cipher support, straight from your device. No third-party grading service, no invented grades. • Subnet Calculator: IPv4 and IPv6 math: CIDR, network, broadcast, host ranges and equal splits, with a live bit view and RFC-correct /31 and /32. • IP Converter: turn any IP notation into every other form, and see how an IPv4 address rides inside IPv6. • MAC Converter: every MAC address notation, EUI-64, link-local, and a fully offline vendor lookup. Randomized phone MACs are flagged as randomized, never given a fake vendor. • Network Details: your Wi-Fi name and access point vendor, local and public IP address, router address, DNS servers, your real cellular radio (5G, or 5G riding a 4G core) and NAT64 detection, one tap from the always-on status header. ACCESSIBILITY Every screen is tested by hand with VoiceOver. Result rows read as one sentence, every long-press action is also a rotor action, and the ping chart supports Apple's Audio Graphs, so you can hear your connection as rising and falling tones. Larger Text, Reduce Motion and Voice Control are supported. One honest limit: I have no Braille display, so Braille output is untested. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Radien uses Apple frameworks only: no third-party SDKs, no analytics, no data collection. The MAC vendor database is bundled on the device, and certificates are read locally, never sent to a checking service. Your network is your business. RADIEN PRO Radien is free to use, with a one-time Radien Pro unlock for the power features: Radien Checkup, Multi Ping, more Wake on LAN devices with groups, widgets and the Control Center control, custom DNS resolvers and extra record types, advanced port presets, full TLS depth, MAC vendor lookup, alternate app icons, tuning options and sharing. Buy once, keep forever. No subscription. Built by an independent developer. Feedback is welcome and read personally.

About

Unraid Drive

Read full description

Unraid Drive puts the shares of your Unraid server into the Files app, next to iCloud Drive — on iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro, at home or on the go. IMPORTANT: the app does nothing on its own. Your Unraid server must run a service such as the free, open-source unraid-gateway container (instructions in the wiki): it is what exposes the shares to the app. HOW IT WORKS Install the small open-source unraid-gateway container on your Unraid server, create an Unraid API key, publish the gateway with Cloudflare or any reverse proxy, and add it in the app. Your shares appear under Locations in the Files app: open, save, move, rename and delete files from any app that uses the Files picker. FEATURES • Native Files app integration (File Provider): on-demand download, resumable uploads for large files, background sync. • Per-user access: add your Unraid username and password and see exactly the shares Unraid grants you, read-only where Unraid says so. • Connection modes: direct HTTPS, or Cloudflare Access with a service token. • Dashboard: array state and usage, parity check, disk temperatures, shares, gateway container, notifications, CPU and memory. • Connection test with clear diagnostics, edit server without losing your Files locations. • Optional iCloud sync of the configuration for effortless device restores. • Theme System/Light/Dark and interface in 7 languages. • Demo server to try everything offline. • No accounts, no analytics, no third-party servers: the app talks only to your gateway. • Unraid look: Unraid-orange accents, app icon in six colours with light, dark and tinted variants. • Sync engine like the big cloud drives (with unraid-gateway 0.5+): stable item ids and a change journal, so renames, moves and deletions made anywhere on the NAS reach the Files app within minutes without scanning the shares. • Shortcuts and Siri: save the clipboard or a file to a share, download a file, list a folder, refresh the locations, test the connection. • Notifications: an alert when the gateway is unreachable (and when it is back) and when a file could not be uploaded or downloaded; managed from the system settings. • Walkthrough at every update with what's new, iCloud configuration restore and notification consent. • Choose which shares to show: after connecting and at any time in the server details, tick the shares to see in Files, in the Finder, in Shortcuts and on Apple TV; the choice travels with the iCloud configuration. • A Files-style explorer inside the app, on every device: list or icons, sort, search, Info, new folder, upload, rename, move, copy, share, delete; Quick Look plus an mpv player (MKV, AVI, WebM, FLAC…), and readers for EPUB books, CBZ comics and ZIP archives. FOR IOS 27, MACOS 27, TVOS 27 AND VISIONOS 27 Version 1.4.2 is designed for iOS and iPadOS 27, macOS 27, tvOS 27 and visionOS 27, with the current system look on every device; it also runs on iOS/iPadOS/tvOS 17, macOS 14 and visionOS 1 or later. New: shareable diagnostics and log, device registration that heals itself, secrets never deleted by the app, a clear Files/Finder location status with the right remedy. ON THE MAC The same app (universal purchase) puts the shares in the Finder sidebar like the other cloud drives, with a menu bar panel: sync status, activity (downloads, uploads, renames, deletions), Unraid notifications, pause/resume, offline files, error list, launch at login and a menu-bar-only mode. REQUIREMENTS An Unraid server (7.2 or newer) running the free unraid-gateway container, and a way to reach it over HTTPS from outside your home (Cloudflare recommended). Full step-by-step guide in the wiki linked below. Unraid Drive is an independent project and is not affiliated with Lime Technology / Unraid.
