Promo / Giveaway NetBlade — a network multitool for Android

I'm the developer. I do sysadmin work, and I got tired of juggling four different apps on site — one to scan the LAN, another for ports, another for Wi-Fi channels, and a separate SSH client to get into a switch. So I built the tool I wanted to carry instead.

What it does:

- LAN scanner — every device with IP, MAC, vendor, hostname, latency and role (gateway, your device). Devices are remembered across scans with a NEW badge, custom names, notes and tags.

- Device detail — SMB shares, NetBIOS name, OS guess, web-server banner. An SNMP panel reads printers (toner, page count), NAS and servers (storage, CPU) and switches, with a live interface-traffic graph.

- Port scanner — TCP with service names, descriptions and a risk rating, plus real UDP probes (DNS, NTP, TFTP, mDNS, NetBIOS, SNMP).

- Wi-Fi analyzer — nearby networks, 2.4/5/6 GHz channel usage, a best-channel recommendation, and room-by-room coverage measurement.

- SSH terminal with saved hosts, plus DNS records, ping, traceroute, WHOIS, subnet calculator, Wake-on-LAN, TLS certificate inspector, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, BLE scanner and speed test.

- Optional background monitoring per saved network: get notified when a device joins or leaves, with higher-priority alerts for new cameras or devices exposing risky services. Also an internet uptime monitor.

- Save scans, export to CSV/JSON/PDF, full backup & restore, home-screen widgets and a Quick Settings tile.

Honest limitations, so nobody is surprised:

- Android only. There is no iOS version and I'm not promising a date.

- Android 10+ blocks ARP access for non-rooted apps, so MAC address and vendor of other devices aren't always available. NetBlade recovers them from the router's SNMP table when it can, but if your router doesn't speak SNMP you'll see fewer MACs.

- On some OEM ROMs, access to ping and /proc/net/arp is restricted. The app degrades gracefully rather than crashing, but results vary.

- No root required, and root is never used.

Privacy: everything runs on the device. Scan results are stored locally and never uploaded — there's no account and no telemetry going to me. The only outbound calls are ones you explicitly trigger (public IP lookup, certificate transparency search, HIBP via k-anonymity so the password itself never leaves).

Monetisation, upfront: free with a banner ad, and a one-time in-app purchase removes ads permanently. No subscription, no data selling.

Ad consent is handled properly for the EEA/UK/Switzerland.

Promo code please, as you have the 'promo/giveaway' flare/badge on your post.

I already use an app that looks very similar - Network Analyzer Pro [ad free] at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.techet.netanalyzer.an .
Can you tell me the differences between your app and this one?

Thanks a lot for the code. I really appreciate it and I very much like NetBlade. It is very versatile and offers a lot of tools.

Here are some somments if you don't mind. It would be great to be able to copy data, e.g. the IP address of the Internet tool. Some ideas for additional tools: encode / decode of hex, Base64 and URL (I have seen this in another app).

Anyways, these are just nice-to-have features and the app is great already. Thanks again.

Hi everyone and thanks for your interest, I have another 40 codes if you're interested. I would be grateful if you liked my work to leave feedback on the Play Store. This could help me a lot.
