Cross-platform network diagnostics for engineers, administrators, and enthusiasts.
Ping • Traceroute • DNS • TCP • TLS • WHOIS • Recon
NetPulse is a desktop network diagnostics toolkit built with Tauri, React, and Rust.
It combines the tools network engineers use every day—ping, traceroute, DNS analysis, TCP diagnostics, TLS inspection, WHOIS/RDAP lookups, and passive reconnaissance—into a single cross-platform desktop application while leveraging the operating system's native networking stack for accurate results.
Designed to be lightweight, fast, and dependency-free, NetPulse delivers professional-grade diagnostics without requiring command-line expertise.
