See the devices on your network and the services they advertise
mDNS Insight listens to multicast DNS (mDNS, also known as Bonjour or Zeroconf) on the local network, and lists each device it finds along with the DNS-SD services it advertises: printers, speakers, smart home hubs, file shares and anything else that announces itself. It decodes what those services say about themselves, so a printer's TXT records read as a model name and a list of paper sizes rather than a wall of key=value pairs.
Open it from your desktop's application menu to watch the network live in a web UI that opens in your browser. Or run it from a terminal:
mdns-insight # discover for a while, then report
mdns-insight -output-format=json # the same report, for scripts
mdns-insight -webui # the live web UI, no browser
mdns-insight -open # the live web UI, in your browser
The web UI listens on this computer only, at a port the system picks. -webui=ADDR serves it elsewhere, for example to reach it from another machine on a network you trust.
