deepdig is a free toolbox of network diagnostics built for sysadmins, DevOps engineers and hosting operators — the checks you run every day, faster and more detailed, with no account and no ads. Enter a domain, IP or paste raw data. Checks run in parallel on our servers and results stream in live, each finding graded by severity with a plain-English explanation of why it matters. TOOLS • DNS diagnostics — records, delegation and glue consistency, full DNSSEC chain validation from the root, propagation across 18 public resolvers, and a hop-by-hop recursion trace • SSL/TLS — certificate chain, expiry, hostname match, trust, protocol versions, HSTS • WHOIS — registrar, dates, EPP status codes for domains; RIR allocation, ASN and abuse contacts for IPs • Mail tester — SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, BIMI, MX reachability and STARTTLS • Email header analyzer — paste a raw email, get the Received chain as a timed hop-by-hop trace with SPF/DKIM/DMARC verdicts • DNSBL / blacklists — check IPs and domains against major blocklists, Spamhaus included • HTTP headers — security headers, redirect chain, cookie flags, server fingerprint • HTTP/3 — ALPN negotiation, Alt-Svc advertisement and CDN detection • IP info — ASN, announced prefix, rDNS, country and hosting classification • Certificate Transparency log search • Subnet/CIDR calculator and a password generator WATCHES — GET NOTIFIED WHEN THINGS CHANGE Put a domain or IP on watch and deepdig re-checks it for you. You get a push notification only when something actually changes: a certificate crossing 14, 7 or 1 day to expiry (and a recovery notice when it renews), a new blacklist listing or a delisting, or a changed DNS record set. No noise, no daily digests — alerts only on real transitions. BUILT THE WAY YOU'D WANT IT • Results stream in as each check completes — no spinners • Every run is saved as a shareable permalink snapshot • History and side-by-side comparison for any target • Share a URL or domain from any app to open the right tool prefilled • Dark mode that follows your system • No account, no ads, no tracking, no analytics. Free. deepdig is the mobile companion to deepdig.dev — same engine, same results, in your pocket.

About

Pi Companion

Features
Read full description

Pi Companion is an unofficial iOS companion app for the Pi coding agent (pi.dev) — browse your projects, read full chat history, and keep talking to your agents while away from your Mac. Start a task in your terminal, go for a walk, keep directing the agent from your phone, and come back to continue on the desktop — same session, no restarts. HOW IT WORKS A small open-source companion server runs on your Mac. It reads Pi's session files and drives Pi over its documented RPC protocol. The app connects directly to your Mac over your own network — no cloud, no accounts, no analytics. Use tools like Tailscale to reach your Mac from anywhere. FEATURES • Projects and workspaces: the folders you choose, grouped by git repo, with branches and live status • Full chat history: messages, thinking blocks, tool calls, and images • Send messages: continue any session from your phone; the terminal picks up exactly where you left off • New sessions and git worktrees, started from your phone • Model picker: Pi's full catalog across 15+ providers, switchable mid-session • Diffs: review each workspace's changes on your phone REQUIREMENTS A Mac running Pi (pi.dev), Bun, and the free companion server (link on the support page). This app is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Pi project.
