Network Radar for Mac is an advanced network scanning and managing software. Featuring an easy-to-use and streamlined design, the all-new Network Radar for macOS has been engineered from the ground up as a modern Mac application.

All you have to do to use the program is to click the Scan button. No configuration is required. However, Network Radar is more than a simple IP scanner. It comes with useful tools, such as Ping, Portscan and Whois. In addition to that you can send commands to your devices with the click of a button. Use Wake On LAN with every Wake On LAN capable device and shutdown, restart or send other Macs to sleep, even if they are not within your local network.

Once the tool has scanned your network, it lists all found devices. Select one to see more details, such as IP, IPv6 and MAC address, vendor name, DNS name, mDNS names, NetBIOS name, NetBIOS domain, open ports, OS version, response time, the Mac model identifier and much more depending on how much information your device and network reveals.

Let the app monitor a scan and get live updates on changes in your network. All changes are logged. You may also want to receive notifications when a device enters or leaves your network. With the possibility to configure custom rules and actions you can do things such as sending a mail to yourself as soon as your server goes offline or play a sound when a FTP Server appears in your network.

Organize your hosts in folders. You want all your iPads in one folder? Just create a smart folders and let the app do the work. By binding scans to networks, NetworkRadar for Mac always knows if a devices is reachable or not, making it easy to refresh or monitor a bunch of devices even from different networks.

Features and Highlights
  • Scan your network and retrieve detailed information on network devices
  • Run useful network tools and commands with the click of a button
  • Use the monitoring feature and get notified about changes in your network
