Idea

Network engineers spend time switching between CLI tools and terminals to diagnose network issues. A visual macOS/Windows utility that consolidates network diagnostics, monitoring, and discovery into one clean interface. Targets network engineers and IT professionals.

Why this is interesting

Network visibility tooling is getting renewed attention as hybrid and cloud-heavy infrastructures make CLI-only workflows increasingly painful, and the rise of small IT teams managing complex stacks creates real demand for faster triage. The closest substitute is PRTG Network Monitor, though it's bloated, enterprise-priced, and browser-based — a native desktop app with clean UX occupies a meaningfully different position. The $2k–8k/mo band is plausible if priced as a per-seat or small-team license targeting individual engineers and SMB IT shops rather than enterprise procurement cycles. The core risk is that this market skews toward buyers who expect free tools — Wireshark, nmap, and built-in OS utilities cover a lot of ground — so willingness to pay needs validation before building anything.
