See every device on your network.

LanCaptain showing the devices on a home network

Know who's on your Wi-Fi

📡

Fast, thorough scan

Checks every address on your network in seconds and finds devices that hide from simple ping scans.

🏷️

Real names

Reads the names devices announce over Bonjour, NetBIOS, UPnP and your router's DNS, so you see “Living Room TV”, not just an IP.

✨

New device alerts

Every device you've seen before is remembered. Anything new is highlighted so unknown visitors stand out.

🔎

Maker and type

Identifies the manufacturer from the MAC address and guesses the type — phone, TV, printer, camera, speaker and more.

🔌

Ports and services

See which common ports a device has open, which services it offers, and jump to its web page in one click.

⚡

Wake on LAN

Rename devices, set their type, and wake sleeping computers that support Wake-on-LAN.

🔒

Private by design

LanCaptain talks only to devices on your own local network. It has no account, no ads and no analytics, and it never uploads what it finds. The manufacturer database is built into the app. Privacy policy
