mDNS-Browser is a cross-platform desktop application for discovering and inspecting services advertised through multicast DNS. It provides a graphical alternative to command-line tools for exploring devices and services available on local networks. Users can browse advertised service types and examine individual service instances. Detailed records reveal resolved hostnames, IP addresses, ports, service subtypes, and TXT metadata. This information helps developers and administrators troubleshoot local service discovery and connectivity problems. The application includes configurable diagnostic logging and command-line startup options. Linux-specific rendering controls address compatibility issues involving graphics drivers. Built with Rust, Tauri, and SvelteKit, mDNS-Browser supports Windows, macOS, and Linux with multiple installation methods.
