About:
Bonjeff provides a real-time monitor for Bonjour (mDNS) services active on your local network. It lists discovered services such as file sharing, printers, and media servers, along with their specific network properties. This utility is essential for network diagnostics and understanding the devices and services communicating automatically on your subnet.

Key Features:

Real-time monitoring of Bonjour/mDNS service advertisements
Detailed view of service types, domains, and network interfaces
Lightweight native macOS application
Simple, unobtrusive interface residing in the menu bar

Use Cases:

Debugging local network discovery issues
Auditing which devices and services are visible on your network
Verifying that your own services are broadcasting correctly

Alternatives:

Discovery – Apple's official discovery tool, often included with developer utilities or older macOS versions.
dns-sd – Command-line tool for interacting with mDNS; more powerful for scripting but lacks a GUI.
