NET Toolkit For Mac

All network engineers know that having the right toolset at your arm's length at any time makes the difference between a productive day and a lot of wasted time looking around for the best tool for the task at hand.

Net Toolkit is an easy to use and unobtrusive macOS application which bundles a collection of utilities designed to give a helping hand when you need to quickly build a Cisco IOS or Cisco IOS-XE access list and to calculate subnets for a network.

It will also help you find your geolocation information, as well as search for host geolocation info or quickly look up whois info for a particular domain or IPv4 address.

The app adds a status bar item which gives you quick access to all the tools bundled within and makes sure that Net Toolkit stays out of your way until you need it.

As a downside, Net Toolkit also features a dock icon which, besides helping you bring the app's windows to the foreground using the mouse, does not add any functionality to the app.

Adding support for a global keyboard shortcut specifically designed to help you bring Net Toolkit on top of all other apps in a future release would be a good idea for simplifying the workflow.

Net Toolkit also enables you to have as many of the tools you need running at the same time, but it does not save their layout between launches.

Moreover, it does not have a favorite profile feature to save a list of your favorite tools; however, you can choose which of the bundled network utilities automatically starts when the app starts in the General Preferences tab.

The same Preferences tab helps you disable the startup splash screen and choose the theme color that better matches your Mac's desktop theme.

The subnet calculator and ACL builder tool also come with a window transparency option which should help them better fit in next to your other apps.

To summarize it all, Net Toolkit is a user-friendly and low-key app which should prove of great help to any user who needs any of the network tools it bundles on a daily basis.
