NetDebug Toolkit
Every tool page in the documentation carries the same builder already set to that tool, and the deeplink reference documents every parameter in a single table.
The three URL forms
All three reach the same screen in the app, and the difference only matters when the app is not installed.
| Form | When to use it |
|---|---|
https://netdebug.app/open/<tool> |
The default, and the one to share. It opens the app when installed, and otherwise loads a page that explains the link and offers the App Store. Safe to paste into email, Slack, iMessage or a document. |
netdebug://<tool> |
Opens the app directly with no web round trip. There is no fallback, so it does nothing at all on a device without the app. Good inside Shortcuts and automations on your own device. |
co.developerinsider.NetDebugToolkit://<tool> |
The same as above using the bundle identifier. Useful where a tool insists on a unique scheme, or in an MDM payload. |
What to do with the link
Put it on your home screen
Open the Universal Link in Safari, share it, then choose Add to Home Screen. Tapping the icon runs the check with your saved options, which turns a five step diagnostic into one tap.
Wrap it in a Shortcut
An Open URLs action with the deeplink makes the check available to Siri and to every Shortcuts automation trigger. Running a check when you arrive home, or every morning before work, takes about a minute to set up.
Paste it into a runbook
A link that runs the right diagnostic beats a paragraph describing which tool to open and what to type into it. This works well in internal documentation, ticket templates and on-call notes.
Chain several into one run
When you need more than one check, build a workflow in My Automation instead. A saved automation has its own deeplink, which you can build above by choosing Saved automation in the tool list.
autorun=false opens the tool with the inputs filled in but waits for you to start it, which is the safer choice for anything that sends traffic. export=text|pdf|image brings up the share sheet with the finished report attached once the run completes, on iOS.
Copying a link from the app instead
You do not have to build these by hand. On any tool screen, open the Export menu in the top bar and choose Copy Deeplink. The app assembles the Universal Link from whatever is on screen at that moment, including options this page does not expose. Saved automations have the same action on their run screen.
This page is the better option when you are writing documentation, preparing a link for somebody else, or building something on a computer rather than a phone.
