DeviceShelf scans the Wi-Fi your iPhone is on and shows you what else is there. Every device with its IP address, MAC, hostname, manufacturer and device type.

What DeviceShelf recognises

Identification draws on several sources at once: mDNS and Bonjour, SSDP and UPnP, DHCP fingerprints, banners from open services and the MAC vendor database. That is how a device ends up labelled a printer, NAS, camera, access point or smart TV instead of sitting in the list as an anonymous IP address.

Security at a glance

For every device DeviceShelf checks the open ports and rates what is actually a risk: reachable admin interfaces, unencrypted services, outdated protocols. Diagnostic tools are there for when something on the network misbehaves.

Your data stays with you

You create no account and register nothing. The scan runs on the device, your network data never leaves it, and there is no telemetry. If you want the detail, the privacy policy on our website breaks down which external services the app can contact at all, and what for.

In your language

The app comes in German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Chinese and Arabic. Arabic runs fully right to left, not merely translated. You can switch at any time in the settings.

Together with the rest

DeviceShelf also comes for macOS, Windows, Linux and Android, plus a server edition that watches around the clock. From your iPhone you can connect to such a server and see its device list and alerts while you are out.

The App Store download is free and every feature can be tried for seven days. After that DeviceShelf is unlocked once, no subscription and no running costs.
