I'm the developer of DeviceShelf, a local-first network scanner for desktop, mobile and a headless server edition. Until this week the iOS app only existed on TestFlight. Apple has now approved version 1.3.0, so for the first time you can get it straight from the App Store: DeviceShelf on the App Store . What the app does on a phone The iOS app is not a companion viewer. It runs the same scanning engine as the desktop version: it scans the network you're on, identifies devices (vendor, type, OS fingerprint), shows open ports per device, builds a security report, and raises presence alerts when devices appear or drop off. You can export and share results from the phone. The multicast entitlement iOS restricts multicast traffic for ordinary apps, and SSDP/UPnP discovery depends on it. Apple grants the multicast entitlement on request, and DeviceShelf's App Store build has it. In practice, UPnP/SSDP devices show up in scans on the phone the same way they do on desktop. Licensing The download is free and comes with a trial. Full features unlock in one of two ways: activate a DeviceShelf license, which covers desktop, mobile and the server edition with a single purchase, or use the in-app purchase upgrade on iOS. Pricing is on the website if you want the details. Local-first, on mobile too Scans stay on the device. There is no cloud account, and the AI-assisted device identification is bring-your-own-key; no key is bundled or required. The app is still young, and a phone is an unforgiving place for a network scanner. If it mislabels a device on your network or misses one entirely, I'd genuinely like to hear about it.

A few years ago, the team at Light shipped the most smartphone-like device they'd ever created. The Light Phone III still kept to its minimalist, no-distractions ethos, but it was a phone-size rectangle with a phone-size touchscreen, a camera, and a number of other features. Some people loved having an almost-smartphone, but Kaiwei Tang, Light's […]
