DNS Scanner App for iOS and macOS

This is an archive at this point. ZeroScan was a fun experiment for me to see if I could make an iOS app, my personal work has shifted enough that I don't actually use my own app anymore. I'll leave this page for now, and maybe if I take a hardware turn in my work/hobbies again I'll bring it back to life. ZeroScan is a network service discovery tool for iOS and macOS. It uses built-in API's to scan your network for devices broadcasting zeroconf (mDNS, DNS-SD, Bonjour) services. This allows you to easily discover the IP addresses of devices on your network, and what ports they are accepting connections on. ZeroScan was built with the simple goal of easily finding devices on the network…from jordancparsons.com

    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 know if something on the network was scanning my machine. I also wanted quick access to core details—external IP, Wi-Fi data, and local topology. Then I wanted more: fast, reliable scans using ARP tables and ICMP. As a Wi-Fi engineer, I couldn’t stop there. I kept adding ways to…

    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…
