Discover, broadcast, and understand every Bonjour service on your network — with AI-powered insights built in.
KozBon scans your local network in real time and shows you every Bonjour (mDNS/DNS-SD) service nearby: printers, smart-home devices, media streamers, development tools, and more. Tap any service for full details — hostnames, IP addresses, ports, and TXT metadata — or long-press for an AI-generated explanation of what it does and why it's on your network.

Updated review. So much value and utility. Works like a charm.

Updating my review. App currently works now. It seems it might have just been a bug on iOS but it works most of the times. I have used it and there are only two other apps that comes close to this. What sets th is apart is the ability to host your own session. I have used it to capture port information across VLANs when I could not run a tcpdump and other useful tools. This is an excellent app and has so many uses for a mobile app. It’s invaluable for those that mess with firewalls and other network sessions they need to do. Also the information it gives on Airplay 2 services with the key listings if you understand them is just too invaluable and productive.
Hidden gem, better than all other bonjour apps

I just found this app and it is excellent. So this has been here the whole time?! I am sorry that it has not gained traction (yet) because it is an excellent app. I have recently downloaded 5+ other Bonjour scanner-type apps that have more downloads but this one is far superior in that 1: the design is refreshingly simple yet crisp and modern 2:Your application has Bluetooth built in as well. I haven’t played with the Bluetooth part yet and I also haven’t tried to copy info from the Bonjour pages, but I had to immediately make a review because people are missing out!To the dev: I wonder if people think it is a proprietary app for a piece of hardware. Anyways thanks for the free app!
Developer Response
This literally made my day! And thanks for the input! I made this app as a way for me to test an app for hardware that was still in development, but it isn’t proprietary at all. I am planning to update this to support the iOS 14 SDK and will think of ways I can make this app even more useful.
Definitely check out this app

This is app is very clean and to the point and just very useful. I can’t believe it only has a few reviews, because it’s the best of its kind. People need to start downloading this app! To the guy who made it, keep the apps coming please!
