Beaconator
Broadcast & Scan iBeacons
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Broadcast, detect, and verify iBeacons with multiple iOS devices. Generate UUIDs, share them with QR codes, and test Bluetooth beacon apps in minutes.
Beaconator is an all-in-one iBeacon broadcaster and detector for developers, testers, and educators.
Whether you're building an indoor navigation app, testing proximity interactions, validating hardware, or learning about Bluetooth beacons, Beaconator makes iBeacon development simple.
