NetProbe vs Mochi NetProbe

NetProbe turns your iPhone or iPad into a serious network diagnostics toolkit — the kind of thing IT pros keep on their laptop, now in your pocket. DISCOVER YOUR NETWORK Scan your Wi-Fi to find every device connected to it — routers, laptops, phones, smart TVs, printers, and smart home gear. NetProbe identifies device vendors, MAC addresses, and open ports using standard, sandbox-safe techniques (ARP, mDNS/Bonjour, SSDP). SEE IT MAPPED OUT An interactive network topology map shows how every device connects, with search, filtering, and live status — so you can actually see your network instead of guessing at it. KNOW WHAT'S EXPOSED A plain-English health score flags risky open ports, weak TLS certificates, and other signals before someone else finds them — turning a scan into an actual security checkup. A COMPLETE TOOLKIT • Ping — check connectivity to any host • Traceroute — trace the route to a host, hop by hop • Port Scan — scan common or custom TCP ports • DNS Lookup — A, MX, TXT, CNAME, SRV records • WHOIS Lookup — domain and IP registration info • ASN Lookup — find who announces an IP address • Subnet Calculator — CIDR ranges at a glance • TLS Certificate Inspector — check expiry, chain, and strength • HTTP Header Inspector — see exactly what a server returns • Website Security Check — headers, HSTS, CSP, and TLS in one pass • Wake-on-LAN — wake a sleeping device remotely • LAN Info — your IP, subnet, router, and Wi-Fi details SAVE AND COMPARE Every scan is saved to history automatically, so you can compare two scans and see exactly what changed on your network — a new device, a port that opened, a device that disappeared. WIDGET & SHORTCUTS Add the NetProbe widget to your Home Screen for an at-a-glance network summary, and use Siri Shortcuts to kick off a ping or quick scan hands-free. PRIVATE BY DESIGN NetProbe does not run its own servers and includes no ads, tracking, or analytics. Scan results and history are stored on your device. When iCloud Sync is enabled, history and saved devices sync through your private iCloud account using Apple CloudKit; the NetProbe developer cannot access that private data. You can manage iCloud Sync in Settings. Network discovery scans your connected local network; diagnostic tools contact the host or service you choose. Reports leave the app only when you export or share them. NetProbe is for home users who want to understand their network, and for professionals who want real diagnostics without opening a laptop.

NetProbe shows you every device on your Wi-Fi — what each one is, and what it's running. Tap scan and it finds the devices sharing your network, then names them: the printer, the thermostat, the TV, the one you don't recognise. For anything with a web interface, it reports the software behind it too. AN INVENTORY THAT READS LIKE ONE Not "192.168.0.94" but "Brother MFC-7860DW", with its manufacturer, its model, and the fact that it accepts print jobs three different ways. NetProbe asks the network five ways at once — ping, TCP, Bonjour, UPnP and the address table — because no single method finds everything. IT TELLS YOU WHAT CHANGED Anything that wasn't there last time you scanned is marked NEW. Name a device once and the name sticks, so next time you're only looking at what you haven't already accounted for. WHAT THAT BOX IS RUNNING For devices with a web interface, NetProbe reads the response the way a developer would: the web server and its version, the language and framework behind it, the security certificate and when it expires. Routers, storage boxes and cameras all give this up readily. IT SHOWS ITS WORKING Every finding carries the evidence it came from and how strongly it is held — Declared when the service named itself, Likely when it is inferred from a header or a cookie, Possible when it is only a hint in the page. A guess is never dressed up as a fact. THE USUAL TOOLS, PROPERLY DONE Ping, traceroute, port scan, DNS lookup, WHOIS, Wake-on-LAN, a Bonjour browser, and a plain view of your interfaces and routes. Custom address ranges for looking somewhere other than your own subnet. Export any scan as a report, CSV or JSON. IT STAYS ON YOUR PHONE The scan runs on the device and the results stay there. No account, no sign-up, no analytics — we do not know how many devices you have or whether you opened the app. Two features reach the internet, WHOIS and the public IP check, and both only when you tap them. WHAT IT ISN'T NetProbe reads; it does not reach in. It asks each device what it will freely say about itself and reports the answer. It does not try passwords, does not exploit anything, and cannot block a device from your network — no iPhone app can. It is a tool for understanding a network you are responsible for.
