🦊 Netfox 0.10 β€” your network, finally in plain English

Hey everyone πŸ‘‹

Just shipped , 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.

πŸ”Ž Know what's on your network

- 🏷️ 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.

- πŸ“‘ 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.

🩻 The Service inspector β€” see what's actually running

- πŸ–₯️ 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."

- πŸ”’ 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.

🧹 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.

πŸ–₯️ Native, on-device, account-free β€” everything Netfox learns stays only on your Mac. macOS 15.6+.

β†’ Check for Updates… β€” I'd love to hear what you'd like to see next 🦊
