Find devices on your local network from your iPhone or iPad. View IP addresses, names, detected services and response times, grouped by device. Photograph a device label or choose an image to read a MAC address, model, serial number or QR code and find matching devices in the current scan. Photos are processed on your device and are not saved by the app. On iOS 26 and later, a scan you start can continue after you leave the app, when iOS allows it. Partial results are saved if interrupted. On a wide iPad window, view devices beside their details and SSH commands beside their results. Keyboard shortcuts and drag-and-drop command import are also supported. Just connected a new device? Run a scan and use monitoring to follow new arrivals. Sonar tracks an address and plays a sound when it responds, with latency and response history. The built-in SSH client lets you run a command without saving a shortcut. Connect using an IP address or hostname, then read, copy or share the output. Commands run on the remote device. Interactive terminal applications are not supported. With Pro, create your own commands, organize them into groups and add parameters to fill in before execution. Confirmation can protect sensitive operations. Prepare commands in a computer browser on the same local network, then review and approve the import on your phone. Web access is temporary and stops when you close the configuration screen or the app becomes inactive. Keep output in history, read large results and delete only the entries you choose. Import commands from a file or by copying and pasting. The download includes basic scanning, SSH connections and manual commands. Pro is a one-time purchase that adds Sonar, monitoring, custom IP ranges, exports, device names and tags, personal commands and command history. If you bought the app before it became free to download, your Pro access remains available. No Find My LAN Device account is required. SSH passwords and private keys are stored in the iOS Keychain. You choose which devices the app connects to. Available in English, French and Corsican.
