LANtern: LAN Monitor

See every device on your home network at a glance: a clean iPhone and iPad client for WatchYourLan, with Wake-on-LAN, port scanning, history, and Face ID lock.

LANtern is a fast, native companion for WatchYourLan, the self-hosted network monitoring tool. Keep an eye on every device on your LAN from your iPhone or iPad: see who's online, spot newcomers instantly, and manage your hosts without opening a browser.

REQUIRES A WATCHYOURLAN SERVER LANtern is a client app: you'll need a WatchYourLan instance running on your network (free and open source). Point LANtern at its address and you're set. Self-signed certificates and multiple servers are supported.

YOUR NETWORK AT A GLANCE • Live host list with online status, vendor, and last-seen time • Search by name, IP, MAC, or vendor • Filter by interface, online/offline, and known/unknown • Sort by name, IP, vendor, last seen, and more • New devices on your network are automatically highlighted and pinned! Nothing sneaks past you :) • Stale devices (configurable delay) can optionally be flagged to clean up your database

DETAILS AND HISTORY • Rich detail pages: IP, MAC, DNS, vendor, interface, and status • Per-day connection history as a color-coded scan grid • At-a-glance uptime bar with time-weighted uptime percentage • Rename hosts and mark them known or unknown

BUILT-IN TOOLS • Wake on LAN with a single tap • Port scanner with custom ranges: results are saved on your device, so they're still there next time

PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Optional Face ID / Touch ID lock protects your network map • No tracking and no advertisements (plus it's entirely free)

MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD • Two-column layout on iPad with the host list beside live details • Light and dark appearance, configurable auto-refresh
