Description
Discover, broadcast, and understand every Bonjour service on your network — with AI-powered insights built in.
KozBon scans your local network in real time and shows you every Bonjour (mDNS/DNS-SD) service nearby: printers, smart-home devices, media streamers, development tools, and more. Tap any service for full details — hostnames, IP addresses, ports, and TXT metadata — or long-press for an AI-generated explanation of what it does and why it's on your network.
DISCOVER & INSPECT
• Live network scanning with animated status indicators
• Smart detection of network connectivity — clear guidance when Wi-Fi is off or unavailable
• Filter by category: Smart Home, Apple Devices, Media & Streaming, Printers & Scanners, Remote Access
• Search across all discovered services
• Full service details: hostnames, IP addresses, transport layer, and TXT record metadata
• Copy any value with a long-press — service names, IPs, type strings, TXT keys
BROADCAST YOUR OWN SERVICES
• Publish custom Bonjour services with configurable name, port, domain, and TXT records
• Edit TXT records on live services
• Best-practice guidance built into every form field
110+ SERVICE TYPE LIBRARY
• Pre-configured library covering HTTP, SSH, AirPlay, HomeKit, IPP, Matter, Thread, and more
• Filter the library by category
• Create and persist your own custom service types with IANA-format identifiers
AI-POWERED INSIGHTS — YOUR CHOICE OF ENGINE
• Insights: Long-press any service for a streaming Markdown explanation of what it does and how to interact with it
• Chat: Conversational assistant grounded in your live network — ask about discovered services, what they do, and how your network is configured
• Choose your AI backend in Settings:
— Apple Intelligence (default): Runs entirely on-device. No data leaves your phone or Mac. Available on Apple Intelligence-eligible hardware.
— Anthropic Claude (opt-in): Sign in with your own API key for more detailed responses. Choose between Claude Opus, Sonnet, or Haiku. Works on any device, even older hardware without Apple Intelligence.
• Smart context: The assistant knows whether scan results are fresh or stale and hedges accordingly
• Actionable error banners with clear steps to resolve issues
LOCALIZED IN 8 LANGUAGES
• English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Arabic, and Hebrew
• Full right-to-left support for Arabic and Hebrew
DESIGNED FOR EVERY APPLE DEVICE
