One app instead of a dozen. Socketta is a professional network bench for iPhone and iPad: Wi-Fi speed test, LAN scanner, port scanner, ping, HTTP/REST client, WebSocket, MQTT, BLE tools, traceroute and on-device network diagnosis ā 25+ tools in a single, focused instrument. WHY SOCKETTA ⢠Replaces a stack of single-purpose apps (network scanner + API tester + MQTT client + BLE scanner + speed test) ⢠No ads. No account. No data collection ā everything runs on your device ⢠Fair pricing: a genuinely useful free tier, subscriptions, and a one-time lifetime purchase (no forced subscription) MEASURE ⢠Wi-Fi speed test with an instrument-grade analog gauge (download / upload / latency / jitter / packet loss) ⢠Ping (TCP, custom port), batch ping, traceroute with per-hop latency ⢠Network quality score for gaming, VoIP, video calls and streaming ⢠On-device diagnosis engine: find out why the connection is slow ā no cloud, nothing leaves your phone SCAN ⢠LAN device scanner: see every device on your network with vendor and type ⢠Port scanner (parallel), DNS & reverse DNS, mDNS browser ⢠Wake-on-LAN, UPnP/SSDP browser, network topology map, scan diff (spot new devices) ⢠SSL certificate viewer, WHOIS lookup, HTTP header analysis, subnet calculator DEVELOPER BENCH ⢠Full HTTP/REST client: methods, headers, auth, cURL import/export, Postman import, code generation (Swift, Python, JavaScript, Kotlin, PHP, cURL) ⢠WebSocket client, MQTT client, UDP/TCP send & listen, millisecond precision send engine ⢠BLE central & peripheral: scan, connect, read/write/notify, beacons, RSSI radar ⢠Cross-protocol macros, profiles, scheduled tasks, JSON/CSV/TXT export HONEST NOTES ⢠iOS does not expose MAC addresses of other devices to any app; Socketta identifies devices by vendor, hostname and mDNS data instead. ⢠Local-network features require the Local Network permission. FREE & PRO The free tier includes unlimited ping, speed test, Wi-Fi info, LAN scan, DNS, Wake-on-LAN and lightweight utilities, plus trial uses of the advanced tools and a daily message allowance. Socketta Pro unlocks everything with a weekly, monthly or annual subscription (7-day free trial on annual) ā or a single lifetime purchase with no subscription at all.

Hidden Camera Detector

Hidden Camera Detector helps you check hotel rooms, rentals, and unfamiliar spaces for signs of hidden cameras and covert listening devices, using your iPhone's camera, Wi-Fi, and magnetometer. FOUR SCAN MODES ⢠Infrared Scan ā spots the lens glint hidden camera optics reflect under IR light. ⢠Network Scan ā lists Wi-Fi devices and flags ones commonly used by remote-access cameras (VNC, SSH). ⢠Magnetic Scan ā detects magnetic field anomalies from hidden electronics or wiring. ⢠Full Scan ā runs all three in one guided sweep with a combined risk score. Mark network devices as trusted or suspicious, and review a history of every room you've checked. BE HONEST ABOUT THE LIMITS No app can guarantee detection of every hidden camera or listening device. Hidden Camera Detector is a helpful screening tool, not a substitute for a professional sweep. Network Scan only sees devices that advertise themselves over Wi-Fi. SUBSCRIPTION Pro unlocks all four scans plus unlimited history. Choose monthly or annual. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage anytime in your Apple ID settings.
