Apart from the obvious question of why you didn't opt to open source the tool :), I'm genuinely curious about how you approached development.
How did you decide for this feature A: "I'll just spawn child processes and read the output of `x-y-z` and `a-b-c` CLI tools, while for feature B: "I'll drop-down to BSD sockets"? Perhaps you have a performance budget: if using the Apple-provided CLI utilities are not fast enough then you drop down to writing BSD sockets?
I quite often login to routers/firewalls to pull the ARP and Route Tables. If there was an option to add an API Key + REGEX + HOST/s for processing with a one-click button that'd be rad
Cool. For a moment I got excited and thought someone built an alternative to the crazy-spendy Ping Plotter. An always-running statistical view of traceroutes for multiple sites is something only they seem to be doing well.
Congrats on shipping!

Looks like a great and useful app. I'll definitely buy it.
Have you seen PingDoctor? https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pingdoctor/id1350044974?mt=12

Looks cool, but what do you mean by cross-platform?
PingStalker is a modern, cross-platform network scanning app inspired by the specialized needs of IT, engineering, and network professionals.

Thanks for supplying it outside Apple’s store!
