Netfox
A native local macOS network monitor
A native macOS network monitor. Combines Bonjour, ARP, SSDP, NetBIOS and active probing to show every connected device — Apple gadgets, smart TVs, IoT, printers — in one live window. Full per-device history: first seen, last seen, every online/offline transition. Five alert types for new, risky, or returning devices. One-click security scan checks common ports with plain-English findings. Built 100% in SwiftUI. No cloud, no account, no telemetry. Your data stays on your Mac. Free.

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Giovambattista, indie developer behind Undolog. You might know some of my other projects like FinderGit or Octoscope — I've been building dev tools and open-source projects for years. Netfox started from a simple frustration: monitoring my home network meant either ugly router admin pages or cloud-based apps that send my data who-knows-where. I wanted something different: open an app, see every device on my network, get notified when something new connects. That's it. It's 100% native SwiftUI, runs entirely on your Mac, and sends zero data anywhere. It combines multiple discovery protocols (Bonjour, ARP, SSDP, NetBIOS) so it catches devices that single-protocol scanners miss — smart TVs, IoT sensors, guest phones. It's free. I'd love your feedback — what features would you want next?
