AI answers are written on your device or by Apple Private Cloud Compute wherever they can be. When neither can, PingKit asks your permission before its own service receives a summary of your network. What never goes: the names you gave your devices, their hardware addresses, your Wi-Fi network name and your public IP.

Guardian costs $2.99 a month or $24.99 a year, the same on iPhone and on Mac, with a one-week free trial. It puts the Mac Agent's devices, alert history, latency history and scheduled speed test results on your iPhone over iCloud, raises Uptime Watch from one URL to ten, adds per-network trend charts, and gives the AI assistant Apple Private Cloud Compute for questions too large for your iPhone to hold on its own. PingKit is translated into 27 languages on every tier, and the AI is asked to answer in the language your device is set to.
Yes. All 19 diagnostic tools are free, with no ads, no usage cap and no account, and the Mac Agent is a free download whose own scanning, device monitoring and LAN alerts cost nothing either. Guardian is the optional part: it brings the Agent's devices, alert history and timeline to your iPhone over iCloud, raises Uptime Watch from one URL to ten, and gives the AI assistant Apple Private Cloud Compute for questions too large for your iPhone to hold on its own.
Seventeen sit on the Tools tab: Smart Diagnostics, Speed Test, Ping, Visual Traceroute, MTR, My Network, Port Scanner, Bonjour Browser, Security Scan, DNS Lookup, Whois Lookup, IP Geolocation, SSL Inspector, HTTP Analyzer, Subnet Calculator, Wake-on-LAN and Network Interfaces. Device discovery lives on the Devices tab, and Connection Monitor appears as Live Connection on the Monitor tab, which makes 19. Every one of them is free, and none of them is capped by a subscription.
There is no account, no advertising and no cross-app tracking, and the privacy manifest declares exactly three things: a per-device identifier used as the AI quota key and as the address for certificate and uptime alerts, anonymous counters of how the app itself is used, and the network details you send when you ask the AI to explain something. None of it is linked to you, and none of it is used to follow you across other apps or websites. Some tools are lookups by nature and send what you ask about to a third party: Whois and IP Geolocation query public RDAP and IP databases, and the Security Scan asks Shodan's InternetDB what is visible on your own public IP from outside.
Only when the answer cannot be produced on the device. PingKit tries the iPhone's own on-device model first where Apple Intelligence is available, then Apple's Private Cloud Compute, and only then our own server. An answer written on the phone costs nothing and reaches nobody, including us. When a question does go out, what is sent is a summary of the measurement you asked about, never a continuous feed and never anything that identifies you. Identify With Camera is different again: the photograph of a device's label is read on the iPhone by Apple's on-device model, with no cloud fallback and no way to add one, and it refuses to read Wi-Fi keys and network names.
