mDNS does that. Your devices are already accessible on your network as eg “himatas-iphone.local” with no configuration required.

mDNS my goat. I have a lot of spare machines and I do a lot of various experiments on said machines, some of which could brick the system even on NixOS. I now have a custom usb installer over mDNS and reflashing any compute I have from scratch for the express purpose of destroying it in a few days hasn't been easier
