Mac
Deep investigation
Wi-Fi surveys, maps, channel analysis, per-app traffic, LAN discovery, diagnostics, alerts, and exports run on macOS where the system permits them.
NetSwardAvailable for Mac, iPhone, and iPad
Know what your network is doing.
Start on iPhone or iPad with local-first connection evidence, Wi-Fi details, tests, history, reports, and widgets. Pair an optional Mac for deeper surveys, maps, diagnostics, alerts, and exportable reports.
Features
Stop guessing which part of the network is failing.
NetSward turns live connection evidence, Wi-Fi link details, nearby access points, diagnostics, and report previews into one local-first system across your Apple devices.
Watch live traffic
See active interfaces, upload, download, and one-second throughput history without opening Activity Monitor.
Survey nearby Wi-Fi
Capture current-session SSID, BSSID, channel, RSSI, SNR, PHY, security, and link context from macOS.
Keep status nearby
Use the menu bar, widgets, and quick controls for ambient network visibility while you work.
On Mac
See the signal, then follow it.
Desktop evidence gives the everyday view somewhere to go: surveys, channels, and history that make a recurring problem legible.
iPhone & iPad
Carry the network picture with you.
The iPhone and iPad app starts with evidence measured on that device: connection health, Wi-Fi details, bounded tests, activity history, reports, widgets, and optional paired-Mac context that stays clearly labeled.
Compatibility
Start where the evidence lives.
NetSward works without a paired Mac. Pairing adds Mac context and operator tools; it does not turn a mobile entitlement into permission to control a Mac.
iPhone + iPad
Evidence on the move
See connection health, Wi-Fi details, bounded tests, history, reports, widgets, and mobile surveys on the device you are carrying.
Paired Mac
Shared context
Review clearly labeled Mac evidence on mobile after an optional local-network pairing. The Mac controls sharing, capabilities, and remote changes.
Minimum OS versions and current device availability are maintained by the App Store listing. Check that listing before installing because system capabilities can change.
Free & Pro
Free is for daily visibility. Pro is for deeper investigation.
The free app is not a time-limited trial. It covers the everyday view on Mac, iPhone, and iPad: connection health, link quality, current-session Wi-Fi data, widgets, and report previews, with deeper Mac workflows available when you need them.

Pro workflows
For the moments a speed test cannot explain.
NetSward Pro is built for the follow-up question: is this Wi-Fi, the router, DNS, the ISP, an app, a local device, or this Mac?
- Map the radio layer
- Use Wi-Fi maps, floorplan checkpoints, retained sightings, and channel analysis to understand coverage and crowding.
- Run a real check
- Use ping, DNS lookup, traceroute, network health grading, per-app traffic, LAN discovery, and root-cause guidance.
- Catch repeat issues
- Set alerts for sustained throughput, interface health, and Wi-Fi quality, then review retained timeline events.
- Hand off evidence
- Export JSON, CSV, PDF, and map snapshots when someone else needs to understand what happened.
Turn a flaky network moment into something you can hand off.
Preview the current NetSward bundle for free. With Pro, save JSON, CSV, PDF, and map snapshots for troubleshooting, support tickets, or your own notes.
