Rumskrot Beacon
Network diagnostics & audits
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
When the network breaks, find out where. Diagnose a host, grade its TLS, audit a domain's email DNS and track cert expiry. 20 native tools, all on-device.
Rumskrot Beacon is a network toolbelt for iPhone and iPad. When something is down, it tells you where the path breaks. When nothing is down yet, it grades your TLS, audits your domain's email DNS and warns you before a certificate expires. Twenty native tools, all running on your device.
FIND WHERE IT BREAKS
• Diagnose runs DNS, ping, TCP, TLS and HTTP against a host in order, then gives one plain verdict about which step failed.
• Ping charts every packet's round trip, plus the average across your past runs against the same host.
• MTR is a continuous traceroute with loss and latency per hop.
• Traceroute, DNS lookup, Reverse DNS, WHOIS, HTTP probe and the TLS inspector cover the rest.
AUDIT BEFORE IT BREAKS
• TLS audit checks protocol support (TLS 1.0 to 1.3), HSTS and the certificate chain, then gives an A+ to F grade. Results fill in as each check lands.
• Domain audit checks MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, CAA and BIMI together and gives one posture verdict: Secure, Partial or Misconfigured.
• Cert dashboard lists every host you have audited, most urgent expiry first. Add a host and its audit runs in the background.
EXPLORE THE LOCAL NETWORK
• The mDNS / Bonjour browser lists the services on your network, grouped by type and resolved to address and port.
• Network scan sweeps an address range and lists the hosts that answer.
• Port scan, My network, Subnet calculator and ASN lookup round out the picture.
EVERY RESULT IS A STARTING POINT
• Every IP, host and port a tool finds has a routing menu: send a resolved IP to Ping, or an open port to the TLS inspector. No retyping.
• Found an SSH or VNC service? Open it in Rumskrot Terminal or Rumskrot Remote in one tap.
CHAIN IT, SAVE IT, AUTOMATE IT
• Templates chain several tools into a single run. Start from presets like "API endpoint health check" and "Mailserver health check", or build your own.
• Every probe is an App Intent, so Shortcuts can run any probe or template.
• Saved targets put the hosts you check most on the home screen, one tap from a re-run.
• Widgets in every size, Lock Screen included, show your latest probe or a saved target, with Run again. Controls ping a saved target or start Diagnose.
• Run history records your probes so you can reopen or repeat them: up to 100 runs per tool and target for 90 days, always keeping the latest.
• curl builds full HTTP requests with method, headers and body, and can copy them out as a curl command.
• Tap any IP, hostname, header or record to copy it; every result panel copies out as text.
• Live network throughput stays in the toolbar. Tap for per-interface charts, or hide it in Settings.
ON YOUR WRIST
Seven tools on the watch: Reachability, DNS over HTTPS, HTTP probe, Reverse DNS, ASN lookup, Cert expiry and Subnet calculator, plus your saved targets and recent History from your iPhone and a Reachability complication. The watch works over HTTPS, so Reachability measures HTTP response time and DNS uses Cloudflare's public resolver.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Everything runs on your device. There is no Beacon server.
• No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs, no accounts.
• Probes go straight from your device to the host you typed.
• History and saved targets stay on your devices, never on a server.

NEW
• Network scan sweeps an address range and lists the hosts that answer.
• Widgets in every size, on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen. The Probe widget shows your latest result or a saved target, with Run again right on it.
• Controls that ping a saved target or start Diagnose, and Shortcuts for Ping, Diagnose, My network, DNS lookup and HTTP probe, with result cards you can run again.
• Saved targets show up in Spotlight, and your recent pings, traceroutes and port scans appear as suggestions.
• Five more tools on the watch: HTTP probe, Reverse DNS, ASN lookup, Cert expiry and Subnet calculator. Your saved targets and recent History come over from your iPhone, and a Reachability complication sits on the watch face.
• Pick Beacon's colour on iPhone or watch, and it follows on all your devices.
IMPROVED
• Deleting a saved target, a run or a template can be undone straight away.
• Stop keeps the partial result on every tool, and Ping and Traceroute show the address the host resolved to.
• Ping and MTR stay smooth on long runs and use less energy in Low Power Mode.
• A cleaner watch layout, with Run on the first screen of every tool.
• Settings names every public service Beacon uses and says exactly what stays on your device.
• VoiceOver labels on every icon button, and better support for larger text sizes.
• Smoother tool guide animation, and the watch app is now simply called Beacon.
FIXED
• Traceroute and MTR no longer stop early when a ping runs at the same time.
• DNS lookups finish as soon as the answer arrives, and errors say what actually went wrong.
