In development: an iOS home-network inventory and observation app. The source candidate organizes devices by family member and room, saves Bonjour service comparisons, and includes foreground device-traffic charts and optional HTTPS checks. Inventory stays local. No public download yet; the rebuilt candidate is not compiled or device-tested. Bonjour is incomplete and traffic readings are device-level, not router-wide or per-person.

Could you build this?

Partial A SwiftUI inventory app with local storage and Bonjour browsing is vibe-codeable, but iOS sandboxing and privacy limits make real device-traffic observation and HTTPS probing on-device difficult.

What it would actually take: Build it with SwiftUI and SwiftData, using Network framework and NWBrowser for Bonjour discovery, plus a local data model for family members and rooms. The hard parts are iOS restrictions on inspecting other devices' traffic, which generally forces a companion router or agent, and the App Store review constraints on local-network scanning. Native iOS networking expertise and possibly a hardware or router-side component are needed.
