Fing

Network Scanner & Monitoring Tool for Home and Office

Visit Fing

Fing is a network scanner and monitoring platform that identifies devices on a network, tracks security events, and monitors network performance. It addresses the need to inventory connected devices, detect unknown or unwanted devices, and maintain visibility over network activity across home and business environments.

The platform includes Fing Desktop for Windows and macOS, Fing Mobile for Android and iOS, Fing Web for browser access, and Fing Agent, which runs on Raspberry Pi or Docker for continuous monitoring. Core capabilities include device recognition powered by machine learning, automated security checks, an event timeline, internet speed tests, ISP reporting, hidden camera detection, internet access blocking and time limits, presence tracking, and router vulnerability checks. Integrations include Home Assistant, IFTTT, and a Local API for developers.

Fing is packaged as a free plan for occasional use, a Premium subscription for home users wanting continuous monitoring and advanced controls, and a Professional edition for IT consultants, MSPs, and small teams with shared workspaces, multi-user collaboration, and support for multiple monitored networks. Subscriptions are available on monthly or yearly billing.
