PingStalker – A macOS tool for network engineers

In plain words

PingStalker is a macOS network discovery and monitoring tool designed for network engineers and Wi-Fi professionals. It provides a graphical interface for identifying devices on local and wireless networks using ARP, ICMP, mDNS, and DNS scans, displaying IP addresses, MAC addresses, vendor information, and open ports. The tool includes continuous host monitoring with real-time latency visualization and shows network details like external IP, Wi-Fi data, and local topology. It combines command-line network utilities into a single GUI for easier network troubleshooting and visibility.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi HN - I’m the developer of PingStalker, a macOS utility I built to see what’s really happening on the LAN/WLAN. I live in the CLI, but when it came to discovery and monitoring, I found it limiting. So I built a GUI that brings my favorite tools together in one place. PingStalker started because I wanted to…

  I built a macOS tool for network engineers – it's called NetViewsFeb 2026 · netviews.app · ▲243

  Hi HN — I’m the developer of NetViews, a macOS utility I built because I wanted better visibility into what was actually happening on my wired and wireless networks. I live in the CLI, but for discovery and ongoing monitoring, I kept bouncing between tools, terminals, and mental context switches. I wanted something faster and more visual, without losing technical depth — so I built a GUI that brings my favorite diagnostics together in one place. About three months ago, I shared an early version here and got a ton of great feedback. I listened: a new name (it was PingStalker), a longer trial,…

  An ultra-light-weight tool to quickly test your ping2022 · ping.projects.chrisjeakle.com · ▲96

  Howdy HN! I find myself testing my ping from time to time, especially when my internet seems wonky while WFH. It feels like there should be an easier way test my ping than puling up a terminal or a complex web app - especially when I'm on my phone or any other device that doesn't have a terminal. I figured I should be the change I wish to see in the world and created this super light ping test. I also created a latency monitoring solution (https://github.com/cjjeakle/network-monitor), feel free to clone and try it out! I know there are a lot more mature monitoring…

  Talanoa▲340

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
