π¦ Netfox 0.10 β your network, finally in plain English
Hey everyone π
Just shipped Netfox 0.10, the readability release. It now works harder to tell you what each device actually is β instead of leaving you staring at hex addresses and port numbers.
π Know what's on your network
- π·οΈ Plain-English identity β a device with no friendly name now leads with what it is β "Netgear Β· Router Β· Web service" β instead of a bare IP. The address steps back to the subtitle.
- π‘ More services recognised β more of what a device announces now feeds its identity, so more boxes read as what they are at a glance.
π©» The Service inspector β see what's actually running

- π₯οΈ Open a device's General tab and Netfox names the product behind its open ports: a router's SSH shell, an HP printer, a NAS, a smart-home web page. "Port 8080 open" becomes "oh, that's the printer's web admin."

- π It only reads what a service announces about itself on connect β no login attempt, nothing intrusive β and it's off until you flip it on in Settings β Privacy.
π§Ή A clearer reset

- The full reset ("Forget all devices," which wipes everything) now sits in its own "Reset everything" section, safely apart from the targeted history clears.
π₯οΈ Native, on-device, account-free β everything Netfox learns stays only on your Mac. macOS 15.6+.
