CLUSTER NETWORK-DEVICES-LOCAL · 80 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2009-04-10
Network scanning and Wake-on-LAN apps
This cluster consists of mobile and desktop applications for scanning local networks, discovering devices and open ports, performing diagnostics like ping and DNS lookup, and in many cases sending Wake-on-LAN packets to power on remote machines. The entry timeline spans from 2009 to mid-2026, with a low and sporadic cadence early on that gradually increased to multiple entries per month in the years just before the index. Among members with traction signals, IPscanner leads with 16 stars, followed by Antigravity-Mobile with 10 stars and wol with 1 star.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 20 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
