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?
This is one of those tools you don’t realize you need until some random smart bulb from 2019 starts talking to your network at 3 AM. Clean concept, native macOS app, and the security scan with plain-English findings is a very smart touch. Congrats on the launch!
@alina_tyslenok_ Thanks so much, Alina! 😄 Ha, the “3 AM smart bulb” scenario is exactly the kind of thing that pushed me to build Netfox — you never know what’s quietly chatting on your network until you actually look. I’m really glad the plain-English security scan resonated — I wanted it to feel accessible, not like reading a sysadmin log. Appreciate the kind words and the support! 🙏
@nithin_raju1 Couldn’t agree more, Nithin! That was the guiding principle behind Netfox — native performance, no Electron, no bloat, just SwiftUI doing what it does best. Thanks for the support! 🙌

Native macOS tools with clean UX always win.
