iNet Network Scanner
iNet Network Scanner is a macOS network utility that scans local networks, identifies devices and services, and helps manage Wake on LAN tasks.
What is iNet Network Scanner?
iNet Network Scanner is a native macOS network utility for viewing what is connected to your local network and inspecting common network details. It helps home users, IT staff, and anyone troubleshooting Wi‑Fi or LAN issues find devices, view IP and MAC address information, discover Bonjour services, and check open ports on selected devices. The app also lets you assign custom names and icons so recurring devices are easier to recognize in later scans. In addition to scanning, it includes Wake on LAN tools for waking compatible Macs, PCs, and other devices, with options to save favorites for repeated actions. iNet Network Scanner is published by BananaGlue and is designed for Mac workflows where quick network visibility and lightweight diagnostics are useful.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
iNet Network Scanner is a legitimate network utility. It inspects devices and services on your local network, so seeing nearby device details is normal for its purpose. If you use remote actions such as Wake on LAN, SSH-based commands, or service links, make sure you recognize the target device before connecting or sending actions. The developer states that the app does not collect user data, but you should still use it on networks you trust and review any exported scan files before sharing them.
Recommendation: Keep iNet Network Scanner if you use your Mac to monitor your home or office network, identify connected devices, or perform occasional network troubleshooting. Remove it if you no longer need network scanning or Wake on LAN features; doing so should only affect the app’s own saved settings, history, and exported data you created.
