WiFitch continuously scans nearby Wi‑Fi networks and turns wireless chaos into clear, actionable insights. No root. No accounts. Your data stays on your device.

KEY FEATURES

* Automatic Network Scanning + Auto‑Update
Choose refresh intervals from seconds to minutes — or turn auto‑update off to save battery.

* Comprehensive Network List (with optional SSID grouping)
See SSID, BSSID, manufacturer (OUI), signal strength (% plus RSSI dBm when available), channel/frequency/band, channel width, and capabilities.
Optionally group results by SSID so multi‑AP deployments don’t spam the list.

* Quick Sorting & Real‑time Filtering
Sort by Signal Strength, SSID, Frequency, or Channel. Filter live by SSID text or authentication/capability keywords.

* Customizable Color Highlights
Highlight networks or keywords using a color of your choice.

* Security Badges at a Glance
Chips summarize security: OPEN, OWE, WEP, WPA/WPA2/WPA3, EAP, WPS, WAPI (or ? when unknown).

* Heuristic Hints (extra context, not “proof”)
A ⚠ badge flags risky/unusual patterns such as WEP, mixed vendors under one SSID, OPEN + secured variants, or OWE transition mixes.

* Intuitive Signal Strength Visualization
Inline sparklines show recent stability. Full‑screen graphs keep up to 200 scan points, let you compare multiple networks, and support % plus an approximate dBm scale (or a %/dBm toggle when space is tight).

* Built‑in Channel Analyzer + Recommendations
Band‑specific channel occupancy with overlap‑aware counting for 20/40/80/160 MHz, optional DFS avoidance, and multiple scoring modes (count, power, unique SSIDs). Tap bars/badges and copy a compact summary to clipboard.

* Map View + Optional Geolocation
Plot networks on an OpenStreetMap‑based map with a live location cursor, label/trace toggles, and optional reverse‑geocoded addresses. Silent Mode can disable outbound HTTP features (for privacy/offline use).

* Encrypted Recording + Export
Record scans over time (optionally with GPS), protect recordings with a passphrase, and export as a zip. Blackout Screen can dim the UI for long sessions and AMOLED power savings.

* Quick Clipboard Copying
Copy network details and summaries to your clipboard for sharing, troubleshooting, or reports.

* Built‑in Screenshot Capability
Capture the current screen with one tap and save it directly to your device.

* Adaptive Interface
Works in Light/Dark mode and in portrait/landscape, with a clean, readable layout.

* Broad Android Compatibility
Compatible with Android 11 (API level 30) and above.

* Privacy‑Focused
WiFitch collects no personal information. Scan data stays on your device.
