Description
Discover, broadcast, and understand every Bonjour service on your network — with AI-powered insights built in.
KozBon scans your local network in real time and shows you every Bonjour (mDNS/DNS-SD) service nearby: printers, smart-home devices, media streamers, development tools, and more. Tap any service for full details — hostnames, IP addresses, ports, and TXT metadata — or long-press for an AI-generated explanation of what it does and why it's on your network.
DISCOVER & INSPECT

• Search across all discovered services

AI-POWERED INSIGHTS — YOUR CHOICE OF ENGINE
• Insights: Long-press any service for a streaming Markdown explanation of what it does and how to interact with it
• Chat: Conversational assistant grounded in your live network — ask about discovered services, what they do, and how your network is configured

— Apple Intelligence (default): Runs entirely on-device. No data leaves your phone or Mac. Available on Apple Intelligence-eligible hardware.
— Anthropic Claude (opt-in): Sign in with your own API key for more detailed responses. Choose between Claude Opus, Sonnet, or Haiku. Works on any device, even older hardware without Apple Intelligence.
