Native macOS utility / In active development
Inspect the wireless state macOS actually exposes.
LinkScope consolidates read-only observations from public system providers, keeps unavailable values explicit, and records diagnostics only when you start them.

01 / Inspect
Independent signals. Preserved provenance.
Select a device first, then inspect the transport identities, observations, and parameter paths that describe it. LinkScope keeps each source attached instead of flattening independent signals into a single unexplained answer.

Use the detail tabs to move from a consolidated accessory to its sources, raw values, and history.

02 / Interpret
Missing is not the same as unknown.
LinkScope records why a reading is absent. The distinction survives inspection, persistence, and export instead of collapsing into an unexplained blank.
- 01AvailableThe provider returned a value.
- 02Not exposed by macOSThe public framework has no value to provide.
- 03Device did not reportThe path exists, but this accessory supplied no reading.
- 04Permission deniedAccess is needed before the provider can read the value.
- 05UnsupportedThe provider or device cannot supply this parameter.
- 06StaleA prior reading exists, but it is no longer current.
- 07Provider failedThe source returned an explicit failure instead of silence.
03 / Diagnose
Sampling starts when you do.
Diagnostic sessions are explicit and time-bounded when requested. Eligible parameters can be sampled, charted, compared, and exported to CSV. Sleep or provider interruption becomes a recorded gap—not an invented reading.

04 / Current build
A quiet utility with a deeper inspector.
The current development source includes a menu-bar surface, searchable device list, provider status, raw parameters, timeline, snapshots, complete JSON import/export, monitoring rules, and Shortcuts actions.
