Device ledger

Write each device down once.

  • Keep every router, switch, access point, camera, NAS, printer and smart-home device in one list: name, type, model, IP and MAC address, location, purchase date, warranty, photos and notes.
  • Track several sites: home, the office, your parents’ house.
  • The wiring view shows what is plugged into what. The IP map shows which addresses are used and which are free.
  • Warranty reminders, a Recently Deleted folder that keeps items for 30 days, a duplicate finder, backups, and CSV and PDF export.

  • Compare plans side by side: “What if I add two garden cameras?”
  • A model library of 280 devices, with power figures taken from the manufacturers’ published specifications and the source shown for every entry.
  • A PoE cable voltage-drop calculator and a camera storage calculator.

Floor plans

See where every device sits.

Pins on a floor plan show where each device lives. Wi-Fi Survey then paints a signal heat map on the same plan, so weak spots stand out.

Private by design

Your network stays yours.

Your data stays on your devices and syncs through your own iCloud.

Account and Wi-Fi passwords live in the Keychain behind Face ID or Touch ID, never in the database, backups or exports.

HomeNet only sends read-only requests to devices you choose and never changes their settings.

Handy every day

Always within reach.

Home Screen widgets, Spotlight search and Shortcuts actions (ping a device, look up its IP address, check the network).

On Mac: a menu bar item and keyboard shortcuts.

Eight languages: English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Deutsch, Français and Español.

Good to know

Can HomeNet scan for nearby Wi-Fi networks on iPhone?

iPhone and iPad don’t let apps scan for nearby Wi-Fi networks (an iOS rule), so HomeNet measures the network you are connected to. On Mac it lists nearby networks and channels.

Why does the Wi-Fi tool ask for Location?

Showing a Wi-Fi name needs Location access. HomeNet never reads or stores where you are.

Which devices does it run on?

iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 18.6 or later, and Mac with macOS 15.1 or later. One purchase covers all three.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no account and no server. Your data stays on your devices and syncs through your own iCloud; you can switch sync off in Settings.

Can I scan any network?

Scan and probe only networks you own or are allowed to test. HomeNet only sends read-only requests to devices you choose and never changes their settings.
