DNS Recon

First release for iPhone and iPad. Included free if you already own DNS Recon on the Mac.

Field DNS work from a phone.

Query any record type against any resolver, grade a domain’s mail security, and find out whether the network you’re standing on is lying to you — during the meeting, not after it.

Mail security audit Eight checks — MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, blocklist, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT and BIMI — with plain-English findings, the exact record that was found, and what to change. Share the result as a branded PDF or as text.

Record lookups Every common record type and every obscure one, against the resolver of your choice: this network’s, a public preset, or your own homelab AdGuard or Pi-hole over UDP, TCP, DoT or DoH. Structured cards, dig-style raw output, and “copy as dig” for the ticket.

Is this network interfering? Hotel, café and corporate-guest networks routinely redirect DNS to their own resolver or block it outright. DNS Recon probes for both and shows the evidence. A web-based DNS tool tests its own datacentre’s network; this tests yours.

The rest Reverse lookups with forward-confirmation. WHOIS and RDAP. Delegation trace from the root with per-hop timing. DNSSEC chain validation against the IANA root anchors — validated locally, not taken on a resolver’s word.

Buy once One purchase covers macOS, iPhone and iPad. If you own DNS Recon on either, you already own it on the other.

No accounts, no telemetry Lookup history stays on your device. The app collects nothing.

DNS Recon for iPhone and iPad is a focused subset of the Mac app, not a copy of it. Propagation checks, resolver profiling, batch auditing, ASN/geo enrichment, PCAP extraction and scheduled monitoring are Mac-only. The app says so in Tools → “What’s on Mac and not here”, and this listing says so here, because a shared app record means a surprise is a shared review.
