See every device on your WiFi. Free — no ads, no subscription. Now on iPad and built for iPhone Duo. Network Scanner Toolkit finds everything on your network in seconds: name, IP, MAC address and manufacturer (iOS 27+) — even devices that hide from ping. Devices tell you what they are: Apple TV, HomePod, Chromecast, printers, HomeKit and Matter gear, Sonos, Fire TV, Windows PCs, NAS boxes and more. Capability tags show which are pingable, run a web interface, speak Bonjour, UPnP or Matter, or are your gateway. Filter by Web UI, SSH, file shares, printers, TVs, smart home or cameras. Tap a device to ping it, open its admin page, connect over SSH, VNC or SMB, rename or favorite it. New devices are flagged automatically. Made for big screens. On iPad and the iPhone Duo the scanner becomes three columns — past scans, device list and full details side by side — and the tools spread into two panes. Stand the Duo up like a laptop and every tool splits across the hinge: graph, map or results on top, controls below. Fold, unfold or rotate and nothing is lost. A full network toolbox — free: • LAN Scanner — fast sweep with naming over Bonjour, NetBIOS, WS-Discovery and SNMP; models and manufacturers, custom names & icons, new-device badges, filters, quick-connect. Scans Wi-Fi, Personal Hotspot or wired, and keeps going after you leave the app (iOS 26+). • Subnet Tools — IPv4 and IPv6. Type any address with a prefix, netmask or wildcard and get the whole answer on one card: network, broadcast, host range, counts, type with its RFC, binary with host bits highlighted. Then explore: child subnets on a visual map, VLSM planner, overlap checker, supernet, membership test, range-to-CIDR, config lines, IPv6 forms, netmask table. Siri Shortcut included. • Port Scanner — presets, custom ranges, or all 65,535 ports • Traceroute — every hop geolocated on a live map with latency charts • Ping — live graph, configurable payload size and interval • DNS Lookup — A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, NS, SOA, PTR, SRV, HTTPS & SVCB records, custom resolvers, DNSSEC check • Whois — modern RDAP lookups for domains, IPs and AS numbers, with classic WHOIS referral chasing as the fallback • Bonjour Monitor — watch services appear and disappear live • Network Info — IP, router, DNS, IPv6, data usage, SSID, and a Router card that names your router, shows its WAN address and tells you whether you're Direct, behind Double NAT or on Carrier-grade NAT, in plain English • History — every scan and test saved automatically; reopen scans as fully interactive device lists Toolkit Pro — one purchase, yours forever: • Find Cameras — sweep for security cameras using RTSP, ONVIF, camera web interfaces hree-tier confidence ratings. Know what's watching on any WiFi you join. • MAC Explorer — paste any MAC in any format and see its vendor, IEEE registry block, address bits, reserved uses, every notation and the IPv6 address it implies. Name devices yourself and search the registry by maker. • Speed Test — live download and upload graphs in Mbps and MB/s, your latency idle vs. under load with a bufferbloat grade from A+ to F, and your ISP • Security Audit — find exposed or insecure services on every device and ports your rrnet, with a fix for each finding and an A–F grade • Bluetooth Scanner — see nearby Bluetooth LE devices with signal strength, maker and type; locate one with the hot/cold Find meter or the radar view • Wake-on-LAN — wake your PC or NAS from the couch • Export & share — CSV and PDF reports of any scan or test; Whois and DNS results as text, JSON or CSV • Themes — Phosphor, Amber, Synthwave and more Private by design.

"I think my iPhone might have been hacked." When that thought hits, it is hard to know what to look at. HACK CHECK walks through what your iPhone can actually tell you, one item at a time. ■ Honesty first This app will never tell you "you have been hacked," nor "you are safe." Neither can be determined from what iOS makes available to an app. Instead, it reports the current state of each item it was able to check - and it shows you, in plain sight, the list of things it cannot check at all. ■ Results stay on your device The items checked, the findings, and the values read are stored only on your iPhone. The developer cannot see them. You can delete your history at any time, or export it to a file. Whether that file goes anywhere is entirely your decision. ■ What is checked - Passcode and biometric settings - Signs that the device has been modified - Whether the connected Wi-Fi network is encrypted - Proxy and VPN configuration - Screen recording and mirroring status - Whether notification contents appear on the lock screen - Storage and memory headroom - Time since the last restart and more Choose from three levels of depth. The standard check takes about ten seconds; the most thorough takes about a minute. ■ What cannot be checked iOS strictly limits what one app can learn about other apps and about network traffic. That protects you - and it also means the following cannot be determined: - The list of installed apps - What data other apps actually collect - The contents of network traffic - Past sign-in history - The presence of malware - Call history - The contents of SMS and messages "Could not be checked" is not the same as "no problem found." The app keeps that distinction visible throughout. ■ Pricing Free, with no in-app purchases. Ads are shown, but they are non-personalized - your activity is not tracked. ■ Please note This app is not a substitute for a professional investigation. If you believe you have actually been targeted, please contact the police or a specialist.
