IP Scanner for Mac and Windows

gHOST Scout is a network and IP scanner for Mac and Windows, designed for people who regularly work with networked devices. Scan an IP range, identify devices by IP address, MAC address and manufacturer, monitor connectivity, switch between saved IP configurations and launch device web interfaces directly from the app.

It is particularly useful for network engineers, AV installers and technicians who need to move quickly between different subnets and device interfaces during setup, commissioning and troubleshooting.

Network Discovery

See what’s really
on your network

Scan any IP range and instantly identify devices by hostname, IP address, MAC address and manufacturer.

Choose the pace that suits the job.

IP Presets

Switch networks
in seconds

Save up to five IP configurations on Mac or Windows and apply a preset with a single click.

Changing an IP address manually can mean working through three or more settings screens to enter the address, subnet mask and gateway. With gHOST Scout, switch presets in one click, then return to DHCP just as easily.
