iPhone and iPad
On Windows, install Apple Devices or iTunes from the Microsoft Store. macOS already includes what CrocProbe needs. On the phone, trust the computer, stay unlocked, and enable Web Inspector under Settings > Apps > Safari > Advanced.
Download CrocProbe
The inspector is free and requires no account or payment. On Windows, CrocProbe installs per user and needs no administrator rights. On macOS, it is a notarized disk image for Apple silicon running macOS 13 or later.
On 16 September 2026, a physical iPhone running iOS 27 passed inspection checks from Windows and Apple silicon macOS.
Verify the download
Windows shows Steeltype LLC as the publisher, and macOS opens the app after its notarization check. You can also compare the file with the SHA-256 checksum listed above.
On a Windows PC that has never run CrocProbe, Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may show Windows protected your PC before the installer starts. Choose More info, check that the publisher reads Steeltype LLC, then Run anyway. The warning is Microsoft's reputation check for new software; it stops on its own as installs accumulate, and the installer's signature is what the publisher line proves.
