Cool to see more network tools for macOS.

For anyone who does prefer a CLI-based approach, I maintain RustNet https://github.com/domcyrus/rustnet which is open source and cross-platform (Linux, macOS, Windows) with real-time connection monitoring, deep packet inspection, process identification, and a terminal UI. Obviously a different kind of tool than a polished GUI app like this, but if you live in the terminal or want something you can script and automate, it might be worth a look.

On the macOS network tools side, have you looked into PKTAP? I use it in RustNet to get process-level attribution for network connections. Might be worth exploring if you want to tie traffic back to specific processes.

Minor bug: I tried opening the WebP screen shots in another tab so I could zoom and see them more clearly, and it does not work. Chrome renders the WebP image data as text, and Safari prompts you to download it. This appears to be because the web server is not returning a `Content-Type` header for these URLs:

curl --head https://www.netviews.app/_astro/ss7.D8bYvHF6_1awjYx.webp

EDIT: Fixed! I see a Content-Type header now

Have you considered offering it through the App Store? I would pay a modestly higher price for that. Or for open source.

But the combination of closed source and not being on the App Store is a bit of a dealbreaker for me.

Three things, it drives me nuts when it migates to the localhost interface, but doesn't migrate back. Either, we need to lock to an interface, or just have the option to remove one.

Two, constantly bouncing in the dock is incredibly annoying and distracting. We don't need more distractions, we need less.

Three, showing the wifi mesh info has actually proven to help, but it would really be even more helpful if you could expand that to rates and more wifi protocols.

I had a difficult time to work out whether this software is for me.

Show, more than tell.

>NetViews is a modern, macOS network scanning app inspired by the specialized needs of IT, engineering, and network professionals. It combines host discovery, port scanning, real-time monitoring, and vendor/DNS insights with a clean, native interface - giving you the tools you need without the complexity you don't.

Should be right on the front page above the fold.

This tool looks more powerful than what I would use, but if there were a kid version, I’d like someone to tell me how to improve my network performance.

Did you use or have any problems with SwiftUI that you found workarounds for? It's been a while since I've played with it, but last I checked it was a bit underperforming and opaque

Is the license per user, or per computer?

1. I could confirm it does AP and Client reports in standard.

2. It was on Windows where myself and 99.99% of the remote hands that I work with live.

2 is my biggest barrier. Because even if I migrated to applestan, I wont be able to run it everywhere I need it to be.

If this were an iPad/iPhone app, I would say that you nailed it, because this would be way easier and more complete than any of the tooling I have available on a mobile device right now. Otherwise, all of my other tooling is in the CLI, so I would ultimately be going out of my way to use this tool on my Mac.

The easiest fix I can think of is to open the door to third-party/community extensions so that people can add their own tooling to the app. You mention that this is largely a bunch of CLI wrappers, so it would be very helpful if we could write our own, and maybe even share them with each other.
