Weird filename, but this is legit as it's posted by the developer on his Discord channel:

Discord - Group Chat That’s All Fun & Games

Discord is great for playing games and chilling with friends, or even building a worldwide community. Customize your own space to talk, play, and hang out.

I haven't looked at the differences with V2, but he mentions the goal of going multiplatform with V3 (so, not only for Windows). I don't know either the differences between the free versions and the paid version (only available by contacting the author directly).

For those who don't know, Winfi is a very advanced wifi analyzer. It can display low level technical details such as which 802.11 extensions are supported by a network, among other things.

Unfortunately I can't join that Discord server somehow.

Which platforms does "multiplatform" include? (macOS as well?)

EDIT: Android, iOS, Linux and MacOS.

Thanks!

Unfortunately that Discord invite link is expired and the release on GitHub only contains a Windows executable. Would love to try it on macOS and iOS.

However, Apple does not allow this kind of app in the iOS App Store, so I’m curious how he’s going to distribute it… (Via an alternative App Store? Aren’t those EU only?)

He said that other platforms are not ready for testing yet (tho I think a few users got the Android APK directly for him on request).

Did they remove everything related with wifi scanning from the iOS version? I use their Android version as a generic wifi scanner on my phone.

The Signal functionality apparently requires additional Unify hardware, so they probably work around Apple’s limitation by performing this functionality on their hardware instead of on the Apple device.
