šŸš€ Beta Testers Wanted: Raspberry Pi IP Scanner for Android

Hi everyone! Iā€™m currently in the final stages of launching a dedicated Raspberry Pi IP Scanner App for Android. To officially release it on the Google Play Store, I need to complete a closed beta with at least 20 testers for 14 days.

If you have an Android device and use Raspberry Pis, I would love your help!

šŸ‘‰ Join the Beta here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/tips.raspberry.rpi_app

Why this app?

Anyone running a Raspberry Pi in their home network knows the problem: What is the Pi's IP address right now? The DHCP server assigns a different one at every restart, and searching the router interface is tedious.

That's exactly why I built this app - a tool specifically developed for the Pi ecosystem.

Key Features

  • IP Scanner: Scans your network and automatically identifies Raspberry Pis using MAC address prefixes and mDNS.
  • One-Tap Access: Open your Pi's web interface or start an SSH session (integrates with Termius/JuiceSSH) directly from the scan results.
  • Built-in Tools: Includes the GPIO Pinout, WPA Supplicant Generator, and Electronics Calculators from raspberry.tips.

How you can help

  1. Join the beta via the link above.
  2. Install the app and run a quick scan.
  3. (Optional) Let me know if it correctly identified your Pi models!

The source code is open source: github.com/raspberry-tips/rpi-app

Thanks for helping me get this tool into the hands of the community!
