Editorial interest 75/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A forthcoming Apple-device app for sending port-knocking sequences and fwknop Single Packet Authorization requests, then checking the port and handing off to SSH.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-03 issue.

For: Homelab and server operators using Apple devices
Worth noticing: It says users can import knockd.conf or .fwknoprc and copy a configured knock as a terminal command.

Field notes

The site lays out several setup paths: users can enter knock details manually, start from templates, or import knockd.conf and .fwknoprc files. It also describes copying a configured knock into terminal commands and checking ports over IPv4 or IPv6. These are presented as app features, but the homepage labels the App Store release “Coming soon,” so the described workflow is not confirmed as publicly usable yet.
