Bonjour (also known as mDNS/DNS-SD) is how Apple devices and many third-party products announce their presence on a network. PingKit's Bonjour Browser scans for all advertised service types and shows you exactly what's available -- device names, IP addresses, ports, and TXT record metadata. It's the network equivalent of shouting "who's there?" and getting a detailed answer from every device.
Automatically finds all Bonjour service types being advertised on your local network. Grouped by type so you can quickly see how many printers, speakers, or smart home devices are present.
See every AirPlay receiver and AirPrint printer on the network with their resolved IP addresses and ports. Instantly tells you whether a missing device is a discovery problem or something else.
Find HomeKit accessories advertising the HAP protocol (_hap._tcp). Verify that new smart home devices are discoverable before pairing, and troubleshoot accessories that have gone offline.
Every discovered service shows its hostname, IP address, port number, and TXT record data. See exactly what a device is advertising, including firmware versions and capability flags.
You're trying to AirPlay to your Apple TV or a wireless speaker, but it doesn't show up in the list. Is the device offline? On a different network? Or is multicast DNS being blocked? The Bonjour Browser answers this definitively. If the _airplay._tcp service appears, the device is advertising correctly and the problem is elsewhere. If it doesn't appear, you know to check the device's network connection or your router's multicast settings.
AirPrint printers rely entirely on Bonjour for discovery. When a printer stops appearing in the print dialog, the first question is whether it's still advertising. The Bonjour Browser shows you _ipp._tcp and _printer._tcp services. If your printer is listed with the correct IP, the issue is in the printing stack. If it's missing, you need to check the printer's network settings or restart its Bonjour service.
HomeKit accessories use the HAP (HomeKit Accessory Protocol) over Bonjour to be discoverable. When a new device won't pair or an existing one drops out of the Home app, checking Bonjour is the first diagnostic step. PingKit shows whether the device is advertising _hap._tcp, what its configuration number is, and whether it's in pairing mode -- saving you from blindly resetting devices.
If you're building an app or device that uses Bonjour for service discovery, you need to verify it's advertising correctly. PingKit's Bonjour Browser shows exactly what service type, port, and TXT records your device is publishing. Test from a real iPhone on the same network without needing to write a separate discovery client.
Most people have no idea how many services are being advertised on their home network. Between Apple TVs, HomePod speakers, smart plugs, NAS devices, and laptops sharing screens, a typical home network has dozens of Bonjour services running. PingKit's Bonjour Browser makes all of this visible, and combined with the network scanner and device list, gives you a complete picture of everything connected to your local network.
