NetKit Pro's Biggest Update: 6 New Network Tools

| BudgetSoft | 4 min read | News

NetKit Pro Just Got Twice as Powerful

When we launched NetKit Pro, it shipped with six solid network tools: Ping, Traceroute, DNS Lookup, Port Scanner, Dashboard, and Widgets. They covered the fundamentals that every network professional needs on the go.

Today, we're doubling that number. NetKit Pro now includes 12 tools — and if you already own the app, this update is completely free.

What's New

Speed Test

Measure your download speed, upload speed, and latency — powered by Cloudflare's global network. Unlike other speed test apps, NetKit Pro doesn't share your results with third parties or show you ads while you wait.

SSL Inspector

Instantly verify SSL/TLS certificates for any domain. View the full certificate chain, check expiry dates, and inspect the TLS configuration. No more opening a terminal to run openssl s_client.

Wake-on-LAN

Send magic packets to wake up sleeping machines on your local network. Save MAC addresses for your devices and boot them up with a single tap — no need to leave them running 24/7.

Host Profiles

Save your frequently tested servers, routers, and services as profiles. Run any tool against a saved host without retyping — it's like a contact book for your infrastructure.

History

Every test result is now automatically saved. Review past results, track changes over time, and catch trends before they become problems. Combined with Host Profiles, it's a lightweight monitoring solution in your pocket.

IP Tools

A complete subnet calculator, CIDR converter, and IP geolocation lookup. Calculate network ranges, convert between CIDR and subnet masks, and look up where an IP address is located.

Why These Six?

We chose these tools based on what users actually asked for. The most common requests fell into three categories:

  1. "I need to check things remotely" → Speed Test, SSL Inspector, Wake-on-LAN
  2. "I test the same servers repeatedly" → Host Profiles, History
  3. "I need quick IP calculations" → IP Tools

Together with the original six tools, NetKit Pro now covers the full spectrum of network diagnostics, monitoring, and utilities.

Still No Ads. Still No Tracking.

This hasn't changed and never will. NetKit Pro is a tool for professionals — it respects your privacy and your time. No ads, no analytics, no data collection. The speed test runs on Cloudflare specifically because they don't log individual test data.

Still a One-Time Purchase

No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. If you already own NetKit Pro, open the App Store and update. If you don't have it yet, it's a single purchase that includes all 12 tools and all future updates.
