NetUtil
Modern network diagnostic tools for macOS, replacing Apple's removed utility
Visit netutil.app ↗What is NetUtil?
NetUtil is a native macOS app that restores the functionality of Apple's discontinued Network Utility. It provides seven essential networking tools—ping, traceroute, DNS lookup, netstat, whois, and port scanning—all with a clean, modern interface designed for contemporary macOS systems.
Built as a SwiftUI application for both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, NetUtil runs entirely locally with no external data transmission or analytics. The app is free with no ads, in-app purchases, or subscriptions. According to the maker, the application was built using Claude Code, with the developer steering and debugging while learning the Apple development ecosystem.
