About Network Lab
Network Lab is a privacy-first LAN scanner and network toolbox for iPhone, iPad and Apple silicon Mac. Use it to discover devices on your Wi-Fi or wired network, inspect Bonjour and Zeroconf services, monitor favourite hosts and troubleshoot common connectivity problems without creating an account or uploading scan data to a cloud service. What Network Lab helps with: - Scan your local subnet and identify active hosts - Browse Bonjour / Zeroconf services and service records - Inspect IP addresses, MAC addresses, vendors, ports and host details where available - Save network snapshots, compare scans and export results as CSV - Monitor favourite hosts for reachability - Run ping, traceroute, DNS lookup, whois and bandwidth tests - Send Wake-on-LAN magic packets to sleeping devices - Open SSH sessions to known hosts Network Lab is built for home labs, small offices, developers, admins and curious users who want a clear view of their own network. The core LAN scanner stays available for free, while Pro unlocks the extended diagnostic tools.
