What is I built a macOS tool for network engineers?
NetViews is a macOS network scanning and diagnostic utility designed for network engineers and IT professionals who need better visibility into their wired and wireless networks. The tool addresses the workflow fragmentation that occurs when managing multiple network monitoring tasks across different applications and terminals. Built by a developer who lives primarily in the command line, NetViews consolidates network discovery and ongoing monitoring capabilities into a single macOS application. Rather than constantly switching between various tools and losing context, users can access comprehensive network visibility from one place. The application is particularly suited for professionals who require detailed insights into network behavior and device management. As an open source project, NetViews offers transparency in its functionality and welcomes community contributions and feedback. The tool serves IT teams and network administrators looking for a modern alternative to fragmented monitoring workflows on macOS, providing practical network diagnostics without requiring extensive CLI navigation for routine discovery and monitoring tasks.
