Discovery - DNS-SD Browser

This is the kind of app I love. It does just one thing, and it does really well. I use this all the time for network troubleshooting, and development of discovery services. It’s very fast and updates in real time.

Recently doing some debugging on my home network and found this app to be quite helpful. I'm quite comfortable with the shell, and did some debugging on my Mac, but only the phone (and iPad, but see below) had the problem I was troubleshooting so I needed to work there. The app does exactly what it says. It works well. It's got a minimal UI that uses default iOS controls but that's all it needs--anything else would be overwrought. The only thing that's missing is I'd love to have a proper iPad version. It doesn't need to be anything special, all it needs is an iPad-size UI. The stock iPhone app scaling is pretty unpleasant to use, especially in landscape--I've got an iPad Pro with a keyboard attached all the time, so I never use it in portrait. All that said, though, to reiterate, this is a great app on the iPhone which makes troubleshooting Bonjour stuff a lot easier than it would be otherwise!

After hours of troubleshooting why my home’s Thread network wasn’t working, this app told me what device was preventing it from resetting (it was a Roku). As long as you know what you’re looking for, this app is stupidly easy to figure out what’s going on with your network. Forever thankful for the Redditor that sent me here, I might actually learn how to read this now.

I can’t complain; this app just works! I think it’s a great addition to what Lily started with Bonjour Browser on Mac a long time ago.

Does exactly what it says it does. Simple, clean UI, well optimized for iOS, and make solving some network issues so much easier. All the details you need are available, but not cluttered or complicated in any way. So nice.

If you’re constantly trying to fix AirPrint issues for folks as an admin or your in the Apple Consulting Network this is a MUST HAVE tool in your suite of software tools.

This is an indispensable network discovery tool!

This little app has been invaluable for developing various little Raspberry Pi-based utilities that need access to Bonjour-accessible devices.

Bonjour is one of those little known and misunderstood services out there. When the magic breaks down or there is some additional information needed, this is a great and well maintained tool for figuring out what is up.

Shows device info related to each service that is discovered -great, great, greaaaaaatttttt app.
