What it does
Homedale scans nearby wireless networks and displays signal, channel usage and decoded access-point information on Windows and macOS.
Select an access point to graph its signal over time, then use the graph’s right-click controls for a text log or screenshot. Frequency usage and decoded information elements add configuration context to signal changes. Homedale has free Windows and Mac downloads, with separate release histories; newer-band features should be checked against the chosen build and hardware. Optional location features use external services, including Google geolocation and the Windows release’s Apple-based access-point location option. Keep that route distinct from simply viewing nearby scan results on the computer.
