The enrollment result was written to the same status line as everything else, which renders at the far end of the server card below three text fields — and on a fresh install renders nowhere at all, because that line only appears once a run exists. So enrolling looked identical whether it worked or not. It has its own line now, directly under the Enroll button that caused it, and its own state rather than sharing one with "Check server": two actions, two results. The server fields were also re-read the instant the button was pressed, before the enrollment coroutine had done anything, so they showed the previous server's values. They now refresh when the result lands, which is the point at which there is something new to show. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Echolot
Free software for detecting and debugging local network issues from an Android phone — built for people who actually know what a neighbor table is.
Most "wifi analyzer" apps show you signal bars. Echolot aims at the layer where home and office networks actually break: duplicate DHCP servers, broken IPv6 RAs, MTU black holes, NAT64 weirdness, multicast that dies at the AP, DNS that answers differently than it should. It records what it observed, separates observation from interpretation, and exports the whole run so you can argue with it later.
Status: pre-release. The capability prober runs on real hardware; the production app and the probe server are not built yet.
Repository layout
docs/ design docs — the contract for everything below
echolot-prober/ capability prober: validates the no-root feasibility matrix on real devices
The Go probe server and the production app land here as siblings.
Design docs
The three specs are draft-complete and reviewed; treat them as the contract.
| Doc | What it defines |
|---|---|
| docs/feature-catalog-and-feasibility.md | Full feature list + the no-root feasibility matrix |
| docs/measurement-schema.md | Archived/exportable measurement JSON (observation vs finding, two-clock rule, anonymization) |
| docs/probe-protocol.md | Client↔server wire protocol (pinned TLS control plane, binary UDP data plane, STUN, canary DNS) |
| docs/build-status.md | Running log of decisions and next steps |
Privilege tiers
Every result records which tier produced it:
app— no root, no special setup. The bulk of the functionality.shizuku— ADB-shell privileges via wireless pairing, no root. Shipped in v1.root— future optional module.
Licensing
| Part | License | Why |
|---|---|---|
| All code (app, prober, server) | GPL-3.0-or-later | The value here is the platform-API research; copyleft keeps derivative apps free |

CC-BY-4.0 | A wire protocol and a measurement format should be implementable by anyone, without license anxiety |

Building
See echolot-prober/README.md. Short version, from echolot-prober/:
