NetBlade turns your phone into a complete network toolkit — scan your LAN, probe ports, analyze Wi-Fi, run pro diagnostics and even SSH into your servers, all in a clean, modern, privacy-first interface. Built for sysadmins, IT pros and curious power users. Your scans never leave the device.
- LAN SCANNER
- Discover every device in seconds: IP, MAC and vendor, hostname, latency and role (gateway, your device). Live MAC recovery via the router's SNMP table (Android hides MACs). Devices are remembered with a NEW badge, custom names, notes, icons and tags (Home, Work…).
- WINDOWS PC INVENTORY (NO AGENT)
- Point NetBlade at a Windows PC and it reads the machine itself over SMB and WinRM — nothing to install on it. Exact build, hardware, disks, running services, installed programs with their versions, updates, shares, local accounts and admins. And the defences that matter: antivirus and whether it is really running, firewall profile by profile, BitLocker per volume, TPM, SMB1.
- KNOWN VULNERABILITIES
- For every program it can name exactly, NetBlade asks the National Vulnerability Database which published flaws affect that version — worst first, with the CVSS score and a link to the entry. A saved network shows the whole picture: every flaw across it, and which machines carry it.
- DEVICE INSIGHT
- Open any device to see its sharing & services, browse its real SMB shared folders (with optional credentials), and identify it locally — NetBIOS name, OS guess and web-server banner. A rich SNMP panel shows printers (toner, page count), NAS and servers (storage, CPU) and switches, with a live interface-traffic graph. No cloud, no account.
- PORT SCANNER
- Fast TCP scan with service names, descriptions and a risk rating, plus real UDP service probes (DNS, NTP, TFTP, mDNS, NetBIOS, SNMP). Stealth/firewall detection and quick CVE lookups.
- WI-FI ANALYZER
- List nearby networks with channel, signal and security. See 2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz channel usage, get a best-channel recommendation and measure Wi-Fi coverage room by room.
- SSH & DIAGNOSTICS
- Built-in SSH terminal to your servers and switches, with saved hosts. Plus DNS records (A/AAAA/MX/TXT/SRV/CAA…), a latency/jitter/loss monitor, scan any subnet, ping, traceroute, WHOIS, subnet calculator, Wake-on-LAN, TLS certificate inspector, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, Bluetooth LE scanner, speed test and public-IP / WAN info.
- MONITORING & ALERTS
- Optional background monitoring per saved network: get notified when devices arrive or leave. High-priority alerts for new cameras or devices exposing risky services. An internet uptime monitor (outages + uptime %) and a network events timeline. Quiet hours and per-device mute.
- SAVE & SHARE
- Save scans and export to CSV, JSON or PDF. Share device details with a QR code. Full backup & restore. Home-screen widgets and a Quick Settings tile.
- MADE FOR EVERYONE
- Light and dark themes, Material You colors. Available in 42 languages.
- PRIVACY
- NetBlade works offline. Scan results are stored only on your device and are never uploaded.
- some data (MAC / vendor of other devices) depends on your Android version — Android 10+ restricts ARP access for non-rooted apps; NetBlade recovers it via your router's SNMP. Vulnerability checks are opt-in and send only the name and version of recognised programs — never the machine name, the software list or your credentials. Optional app lock: fingerprint, face or PIN before opening, because saved scans hold addresses, credentials and known flaws.
- Its a Free, ad-supported. Remove ads with a one-time purchase.
