How can I scan the local network for connected devices with macOS?

If you are a network administrator, a developer, or a curious user, you might want to know what devices are connected to your local network. This can help you troubleshoot network issues, monitor network activity, or discover new devices. However, macOS does not have a built-in tool to scan the local network for connected devices. Fortunately, there is a third-party solution that can do this job easily and efficiently: IP Scanner from 10base-t.com.

IP Scanner is a powerful and user-friendly app that scans your local network and displays the IP addresses, MAC addresses, hostnames, vendors, and other information of the connected devices. You can also customize the scan settings, filter the results, export the data, and more. IP Scanner is compatible with macOS 10.15 or later and supports both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols.

To use IP Scanner, you need to download it from 10base-t.com or from the Mac App Store. Once installed, you can launch it from your Applications folder or from the Launchpad. The app will automatically detect your local network and start scanning for connected devices. You will see a list of devices in the main window, along with their details. You can click on any device to see more information or perform actions such as ping, traceroute, port scan, or open in browser.

IP Scanner has many features that make it the best solution for scanning the local network for connected devices with macOS. Some of these features are:

- Fast and accurate scanning: IP Scanner can scan thousands of devices in seconds and identify them accurately by using various methods such as ARP, Bonjour, NetBIOS, and reverse DNS.
- Customizable scan range: You can specify the IP range or subnet mask to scan, or use the auto-detect option to scan the entire network.
- Advanced filtering and sorting: You can filter the results by device type, vendor, hostname, IP address, MAC address, or custom criteria. You can also sort the results by any column or by device status (online/offline).
- Export and import data: You can export the scan results to CSV, TXT, HTML, or XML formats for further analysis or sharing. You can also import data from other sources such as Nmap or Angry IP Scanner.
- You can also use AppleScript or Automator to automate IP Scanner tasks.
- IP Scanner has many other features such as dark mode, notifications, customizable device icons and more.

IP Scanner is the best solution for scanning the local network for connected devices with macOS because it is fast, accurate, easy to use, and feature-rich. It is also affordable and has a free version that allows you to scan up to 12 devices at a time.
