NetViews is a modern, macOS network scanning app inspired by the specialized needs of IT, engineering, and network professionals. It combines host discovery, port scanning, real-time monitoring, and vendor/DNS insights with a clean, native interface - giving you the tools you need without the complexity you don't.
NetViews is built by Bill Bushong, a network engineer who wanted a better tool for diagnosing and monitoring networks on macOS.

Is this program safe?
Yes. NetViews is code-signed by Apple and contains NO tracking whatsoever. The only network calls it makes are to check for version updates. All payment processing is handled by a third-party processor (Lemon Squeezy) - NetViews never sees or stores your payment information.
This program performs network sniffing - is this safe?
Yes. NetViews only captures specific protocol packets needed for network diagnostics: LLDP, EAP, DHCP, ARP, and ICMP. It does not capture, store, or transmit any sensitive data such as passwords, browsing history, or personal information.
What permissions are needed to run this program?
- Location Services - Required by macOS to access Wi-Fi information
- Network Access - For scanning, pinging, and monitoring network activity
- Sniffer Interfaces - For packet capture of diagnostic protocols (LLDP, DHCP, etc.)
