Explore and browse your local network. Search for Bonjour services like iTunes libraries, shared file systems, AirPlay speakers, Apple TVs, AirPrint printers, Apple Remote Desktops, Mac computers, AirPort and Time Capsule devices and so on... Service Browser is a very powerful tool for discover the available Bonjour (Zeroconf) capable devices on your home or office local network. ABOUT BONJOUR Bonjour is Apple's implementation of Zero-configuration networking (Zeroconf), a group of technologies that includes service discovery, address assignment, and hostname resolution. Bonjour locates devices such as printers, other computers, and the services that those devices offer on a local network using multicast Domain Name System (mDNS) service records. Typical Bonjour services: • File sharing and Time Machine disk detection. • Printer sharing and AirPrint. • AirPlay audio (wireless speakers) and video streaming, screen mirroring (Apple TV). • iTunes Library sharing, pairing and remote controlling. • Home Sharing (iTunes, Apple TV), pairing and remote controlling. • Remote login to OSX computer (SSH, Telnet). • Screen sharing (VNC) and Apple Remote Desktop. • Optical disk sharing. • Apple AirPort family base station and status service. • Remote Apple Events. • Media streaming and controlling. CACHING iOS uses a cache of Multicast DNS records to prevent hosts from requesting information that has already been requested. For example, when one host requests, say, a list of LPR print spoolers, the list of printers comes back via multicast, so all local hosts see it. The next time a host needs a list of print spoolers, it already has the list in its cache and does not need to reissue the query. The Multicast DNS responder is responsible for maintaining the cache; application developers do not need to do anything to maintain it. SERVICE BROWSING • Search for available and currently running Bonjour services. • Analyze and describe Bonjour service name, type, protocol, port, IP addresses and other properties. • Show Bonjour host local name, domain name, MAC address (with vendor information), PING capability. INTERNET INFO • Show default gateways, IP addresses, networks. • Show DNS servers, search domain names, local MAC addresses, host name resolve. • Depth external address analysis: ISP name, autonomous system name, whois, ping, regional internet registry info. • Full offline MAC vendor database. REACH UI FEATURES • Info menu with feedback and privacy settings • Use the camera icon (upper-right corner) to create and print/send/share a screenshot from the entire page. • Pull down with your finger to refresh the information. • Long press on a cell to copy/print/send/open as/share the cell value. • Shake your device to refresh the information.

Metal Detector 3D Plus

Features
Read full description

Metal Detector enables you to detect metal objects using your iOS devices. You can preview the magnetic field level through a graph and a 3D directional display. Metal Detector measures the magnetic field using the device’s built-in magnetic sensor. The natural magnetic field level (EMF) typically ranges from 25 to 65 µT (microtesla), or 250 mG (milligauss). 1 µT = 10 mG. Any reading above this range may indicate the presence of metal or a change in electromagnetic activity in the area. The magnetic field level increases when metal (such as steel or iron) is near the phone. Magnetic field levels will fluctuate as you move around. You can use this app to find metal objects like electrical wires in walls or iron pipes underground. Metal Detector is most effective at detecting ferromagnetic materials (e.g., iron) and cannot detect non-ferromagnetic materials such as wood, glass, plastic, paper, copper, or aluminum. Features: • Displays device orientation in 3D space using a compass. • 3D magnet icon enlarges as magnetic field strength increases. • Shows maximum detected magnetic field level. • Graph displays magnetic field level over time. • Screenshot functionality with saving to the camera roll. • 3D magnet orientation defaults to magnetic north, like a traditional compass. • Option to reset the maximum magnetic field value. • Sound notification when the maximum magnetic field level is reached. • Option to enable or disable sound notifications. Usage: • Detect metal objects such as electrical wires in walls or buried iron pipes. • Identify objects that may or may not be metal. • Monitor magnetic field level changes in specific areas (e.g., when approaching large metal structures). • Some users believe it may detect paranormal activity (use at your own discretion). • And much more—limited only by your imagination! You can also record your screen for reference: • Go to Settings > Control Center > Customize Controls, then tap the + next to Screen Recording. • Open Control Center. • Tap the Screen Recording icon (circle with a dot inside) to start recording. • The recording begins after a 3-second countdown. • To stop, tap the red status bar or red icon. • The screen recording will be saved in Photos for later viewing. Note: Magnetic field readings may be affected by nearby electronic equipment (TVs, computers, microwaves) due to electromagnetic interference. Thank you for your support!
