reconYa watches your network from your Mac and tells you, in plain words, whether everything is OK: who is home, how the internet and Wi-Fi are doing, and which device needs a look. When you want the detail, the ports, banners, certificates and traceroutes are one switch away.
A live console for everything on your network, not a wall of scan output.
The Simple view: a map of everything at home and one card that says whether the internet, the Wi-Fi and your devices are fine. Anything that needs a look comes with what it means and a Show me button.

Arrivals and departures as plain sentences, grouped by person. Assign devices to people once, and dropped-connection stretches show up on the same timeline.
View full size →
Click any host to see what is listening on it. New ports and changed banners are flagged, so the camera that suddenly opened Telnet stands out, and every risk score lists the reasons behind it.
View full size →
Ping, traceroute, reverse DNS and Wake on LAN from the host drawer. Watch a host for a 24-hour latency and loss chart, or run a deep port scan on a range you choose.
View full size →
Router, DNS and internet latency over the day, with a verdict on where a fault is, your Mac's traffic, and an optional speed test that grades bufferbloat.
View full size →
Open ports grouped by service across all devices, with risky ones marked. One look tells you which boxes run SSH, SMB or a printer port that should not be there.
View full size →The same app, three ways to look at it. Start with one card in plain English, switch up when you want the detail. Nothing is hidden behind a paywall or a separate edition.
Simple is the default: the map, a status bar and a briefing that reads like a note from someone who checked for you. Every warning says what it means and what to do, and Show me takes you straight to the device.
Advanced adds the device dock, the alert tile, the Wi-Fi card and the Activity and Services pages. Sort any column, drag columns into your own order, and see which devices deserve a second look.
Expert shows the operator console: IPs, MACs, ports, banners and the reason behind every risk score. Each host gets a Tools tab for the checks you would otherwise open a terminal for.
reconYa speaks the Model Context Protocol. Claude, or any assistant that speaks MCP, can read what reconYa has found and answer you in sentences, not port numbers.
Turn it on in Settings and add one line to Claude. The assistant sees your devices, alerts, open services, port changes, network health and who's home. It can acknowledge an alert, start a scan, rescan a device or rename one. It cannot delete anything or change your settings.

Plain answers for the people at home, real evidence for the people who run networks. No agents to install on anything, no cloud account, no telemetry phoning home.
Know your network without learning networking.
Arrivals, departures and first sightings as plain sentences, grouped by person. Assign devices to people, or accept the names reconYa suggests from what devices call themselves. Each device keeps a seven-day presence strip.
One card says whether the internet, the Wi-Fi and your devices are fine. Anything that needs a look comes with what it means, what to do, and a Show me button.
A macOS notification when something new joins or a risky port opens, even with the window closed. It lives in the menu bar, and nothing leaves your Mac to send it.
Signal, band and channel of your connection over the past week, nearby networks graded for security, and advice on a less crowded channel.
Router, DNS and internet latency over the day, with a verdict on where the fault is. An optional speed test grades bufferbloat from A to F.
Take the laptop to the office or a café and reconYa notices. It knows each network by its router, sweeps only the one you are on, keeps the rest as you left them, and asks once about a network it has never seen.
The inventory, evidence and tools a network admin expects.
Background port scans with service banners. New ports and changed banners are flagged, closed ones are listed, and a Services page groups every open port across the network.
Every score lists the signals behind it with a next step: risky ports, unusual services on low-trust vendors like cameras and plugs, duplicate MACs, hosts nobody can identify.
Ping, traceroute, reverse DNS and Wake on LAN from the host drawer. Run a deep port scan on a range you pick, check TLS certificates on every TLS port, or watch a host for a 24-hour latency and loss chart.
An opt-in MCP server lets Claude and other assistants read the inventory, alerts, port changes and health, and take the safe actions. A local socket, off by default, and every change lands in the event log.
ICMP, ARP and TCP sweeps every 30 seconds, passive ARP and IPv6 watching in between, OS guesses, MAC vendors from an offline registry, and device types.
Several networks, or one network with several CIDR blocks. Sort and rearrange the host table, and turn on external DNS and whois lookups only if you want them.
Three moves from install to a live map.
Give it a subnet. It pre-fills the one you are on. No inventory file to write first.
Ping sweep, then port scans and fingerprinting on whatever answers. ARP watching runs alongside.
The map fills in live and the briefing tells you what it found in plain words. Switch to Expert for the raw detail.
Download the app, install it, hit scan. Every feature is unlocked for 14 days. No account, no card, no key to paste until you decide to keep it.

Yes. reconYa opens in the Simple view: a map and one card that says, in plain words, whether your internet, Wi-Fi and devices are fine, and what to do when something isn't. It starts watching on its own after the first launch. You never have to see an IP address unless you want to.
Advanced adds the device list with sortable, movable columns, the alert tile, the Wi-Fi card and the Activity and Services pages. Expert is the full operator console: addresses, MACs, ports, banners, the reasons behind each risk score, and per-host tools like traceroute, deep port scans, TLS certificate checks and latency watching. Switch from the top bar or Settings; it changes what you see, not what reconYa collects.
On networks you own or administer, yes. Pointed at someone else’s, scanning ranges from rude to prosecutable depending on where you live. Scan your own kit.
No. reconYa runs as a normal app: it pings with unprivileged ICMP, reads the ARP table macOS already keeps, and probes ports with ordinary connections. The only permission it asks for is Local Network access, which macOS requires for any app that talks to other devices on your LAN.
nmap is a scalpel you run when you have a question. reconYa is the thing that keeps watching so you know a question exists: persistent inventory, a live map and a timeline, rather than one-shot output.
Yes, since 1.3.0. Turn on Settings → AI assistants (MCP) and add reconYa to Claude Desktop or Claude Code with the line the settings page shows. The assistant can read what reconYa found and take a few safe actions: acknowledge alerts, start a scan, rescan or rename a device. It cannot delete anything or change settings. reconYa itself still sends nothing out, but the answers go to the assistant you connect, so if that assistant runs in the cloud, so do they. That is why it is off until you turn it on.
Your scan data never does. reconYa stores everything on your computer and has no account or telemetry. It only goes online to activate your licence key, to show whether your internet is up, and for three things you have to turn on yourself: checking for new versions, the speed test, and external DNS and whois lookups from a host's Tools tab. The details are in the privacy page.
No, reconYa is a desktop app for the computer in front of you. It is available first on macOS; Windows and Linux will follow.
macOS comes first: macOS 13 or later, a universal build for Apple Silicon and Intel. Windows and Linux will follow.
Two ways: define multiple target networks and scan them in turn, or give one network several CIDR ranges (two floors that don't share a supernet, say) and it sweeps each in turn and merges the results into one inventory. Either way, the host it runs on has to actually route to each range.
A perpetual licence for reconYa on one computer, plus every release published in the 12 months after purchase. When that year is over the app keeps working on the last version you installed. If you want newer releases after that, renew for another year; if not, nothing changes.
No account. After you buy, Polar (our payment provider) emails you a licence key. Paste it into the app once; reconYa checks it with Polar a single time to activate it on this Mac, then runs offline. Moving to a new Mac? Remove the licence on the old one and activate on the new one. Air-gapped network? Ask for an offline licence file instead.
reconYa is not notarized by Apple yet, so the first launch of each downloaded version needs one extra confirmation: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. The download page walks you through it.
Fourteen days, every feature, no card. When it ends the console locks until you enter a licence, but scans keep running in the background and nothing is deleted, so buying later picks up exactly where you left off.
