LENS is useful for people who have a home Wi-Fi network with more than just a phone and a laptop on it. Maybe a smart TV, a security camera, a doorbell, a thermostat, a printer, a kid's gaming console. LENS shows you the full list, names what each one probably is, and flags the ones that look risky. IT consultants and small-business owners use it the same way for office networks.
You open LENS and click Scan. LENS reads your local network address (the kind that starts with 192.168 or 10.0), wakes up every device on it with a tiny network ping, and then checks each device against a list of common open ports. It looks up the manufacturer of each device using the device's hardware address. Then it sorts everything into categories: camera, smart-home gadget, router, computer, printer, streaming device, and so on.
LENS labels every device with a risk score: Low, Medium, High, or Crucial. Crucial does not mean an attack is happening; it means look at this. A common reason for a Crucial label: a known camera vendor with an open video port and no sign of a password. That is the kind of thing you might want to lock down. LENS explains the reason for every score in plain language.
LENS does not break into anything. It does not try passwords. It does not run exploits. It does not capture your network traffic. It is a passive enumeration tool: it looks at what is already publicly advertising itself on your network and reports what it finds. If you want offensive security testing, use Metasploit or a similar tool with the right legal scope.
LENS also requires that you have permission to scan the network you point it at. The app asks you to confirm this on first launch. Scanning a network you do not own or have permission to scan can be illegal depending on where you live.
Full scan, full device list, full risk classification. Local history of past scans. Auto-updating vendor database. Drill into any device to see all its open ports and risk notes.
Everything in Free. Plus PDF network audit reports for client work. Manage many networks from one app. Scheduled scans that run on their own. Bulk export to CSV or JSON for security teams.
LENS does not upload device lists, risk findings, or any user data. Scan results stay on your machine. LENS does not check for updates on its own; the App Store handles app updates, and the vendor database refreshes when a new app version ships. Advanced users can build a vendor list file from the IEEE OUI registry and import it through Settings.

LENS is built on Electron, React, and TypeScript. The scanning approach is intentionally passive (system ping plus TCP-connect probes only). The vendor lookup uses a curated list of about 150 manufacturer entries covering the most common camera, IoT, router, and computer brands. All bundled open-source dependencies are credited in the NOTICE file shipped inside the app.
Version 1.0 is built and tested. Store submissions in progress. Sign up below to be notified when LENS goes live in your store.
