About:
Bonjour Browser is a network utility that scans and lists all Bonjour (mDNS) services and devices advertising themselves on your local network. It provides a clear, real-time view of available printers, file shares, media servers, and other network-enabled devices, simplifying network discovery and troubleshooting.
Key Features:
  • Discovers all Bonjour/mDNS services on the local network
  • Displays service names, types, and connection details
  • Provides a simple, real-time graphical interface for network browsing
Use Cases:
  • Troubleshooting network connectivity and service discovery
  • Identifying and connecting to shared devices like printers or media servers
  • Auditing a local network for all active Bonjour-advertised services
Alternatives:
  • Discovery – A more modern, open-source DNS-SD browser with a similar feature set.
  • terminal commands (dns-sd, avahi-browse) – Command-line alternatives for advanced users, lacking a graphical interface.
