BLE Scanner: Bluetooth Sniffer
Find Lost AirPods, Headphones
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Find lost AirPods, spot hidden trackers, decode any Bluetooth signal. Live RSSI graphs, GATT read/write, iBeacon and AirTag alerts. No ads, no signup, no account.
See every Bluetooth signal around you and finally understand what each device is doing. Whether you are bringing up a new board, chasing a flaky connection in the field, or checking whether something is quietly tracking you, you get clear answers in seconds.
Built by a team that ships BLE hardware, so it works the way engineers actually think. No ads, no account, no sign-up. Open it and start scanning.
What you can do:
Find anything fast. Scan every nearby BLE device with live RSSI graphs and smart filtering, so the device you care about never gets lost in the noise.
Know your gear without pairing. Read AirPods, Beats, iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, HomePod, and HomeKit accessories at a glance, including battery where available.
Walk straight to a lost device. Locator mode turns signal strength into real distance with Kalman smoothing and path loss estimates, and the haptics speed up as you close in.
Stay safe from unwanted tracking. Spot unknown AirTags and stealth trackers that follow you between locations before they become a problem.
Debug GATT in real time. Inspect every service and characteristic, then read, write, and subscribe to notifications without leaving the app.
Make sense of raw advertisements. Decode iBeacon, Eddystone, and manufacturer data so you can verify firmware and beacons quickly.
Prove what happened. Record and replay full BLE sessions for debugging, reporting, and QA, and stream events to your own HTTPS webhook in real time.
The result is less guessing, faster fixes, and confidence that nothing around you goes unnoticed.
Tap Get and scan everything around you. It is free to start.
Payment will be charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel your subscriptions in your Account Settings on the App Store after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when purchasing a subscription.

Big update! Finding your gear just got way easier — the new Locator mode guides you right to a device with a live distance readout and a direction arrow that gets warmer (and buzzes faster) as you close in, so no more wandering around guessing.
AirPods, Beats, and nearby Apple devices now show up with real battery levels and proper names instead of random hex, so you can tell at a glance which AirPods are yours and whether they need charging.
We also cleaned up a few annoyances: the Bluetooth permission prompt now waits until you actually tap Scan (no more surprise popup at launch), connection drops recover more gracefully, and your saved devices and sessions load faster and survive app updates more reliably.
For power users, you can now forward live scan data to your own server over HTTPS with a secure token — handy if you want to pipe discoveries into your own dashboards or automations.

• Apple Continuity decoding — AirPods and Beats now show battery for left,
right, and case right on the scan list, with live charging state and lid
open/closed. Nearby iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple Watches, Apple TVs, and
HomePods are labeled by class, and HomeKit accessories surface their
category (Light, Thermostat, Camera, Doorbell, and more) — all without
connecting.
• Exact model names — AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C), AirPods Max, Beats Fit Pro,
Powerbeats Pro, Apple Pencil, Smart Keyboard and the rest of the lineup
are resolved straight from the advertisement.
• Live advertisement interval — every device now shows its true ms-per-ad
as an exponential moving average, visible in the list and the detail
pane. Spot misbehaving beacons, SoftDevice configs, and power budgets at
a glance.
• Locator mode — pick any device, tap Locate, and walk toward it. Kalman-
smoothed signal, path-loss distance readout, haptic ticks that speed up
as you close in, and a compass arrow that rotates toward the strongest-
signal heading as you move. Works with every BLE device, no pairing.
• Cloud Forwarding (Pro) — stream session events to your own HTTPS
webhook in real time. Bearer-token auth stored in Keychain, per-event-
type filter, queue with exponential backoff, built-in test button, and
sent/failed stats. Pipe scans into dashboards, CI, or your own pipeline.
• Fixes — the Bluetooth permission prompt no longer fires at app launch;
it now appears exactly when you tap "Enable Bluetooth" during onboarding.
