Network Radar for Mac

Product overview

Network Radar is a complimentary utility for macOS that helps you scan and oversee your local network. It locates connected devices and reports key details—such as IP addresses, MAC addresses and hostnames—so you can quickly see what's on your LAN. The app is built with simplicity in mind, making basic network inspection accessible even for users without a technical background.
