Devices
Know what's on your Wi-Fi.
"Find unknown devices on my home Wi-Fi" sounds simple. In practice, modern smart-home gadgets, privacy features, and quiet IoT devices make it surprisingly hard to put a friendly name next to every device. WiFi Buddy does the work for you — and you never have to log into your router.
What you see
A friendly list, not a list of IPs
WiFi Buddy turns the cryptic numbers most network apps show into a clean list of recognizable names — "Living Room Roku", "Justin's iPhone", "Hue Bridge" — with a type icon for each one.
Why it works
Built for real homes
Smart speakers, streaming sticks, printers, security cameras, smart lights, game consoles, and computers — WiFi Buddy is tuned to recognize the kinds of devices people actually have in their homes.
No router login
Just open the app
Tap Scan and you're done. No router admin password, no app install on every device, no setup wizard — just a clear picture of who's on your network in a few seconds.
Modern privacy features, handled.
Modern phones rotate their network identity for privacy — which means the same phone can appear as a different "device" every time it reconnects. WiFi Buddy recognizes this and labels those devices clearly, so you don't get spooked by your own phone reappearing under a new name. Read more in our guide to MAC randomization on iOS.
Trust devices. Get alerts.
Mark the devices you recognize as trusted. The next time a brand new device joins your Wi-Fi, WiFi Buddy will quietly let you know — "New device on Wi-Fi: Roku Living Room". When several new devices show up at once, you get a single summary instead of a flurry of alerts.
See who's on your Wi-Fi.
