FAQ
What can NearSight detect?

Does NearSight have ads?

How does NearSight handle privacy?
NearSight is private by design. All scanning happens on your iPhone, it works fully offline, and nothing leaves your device unless you explicitly enable opt-in features like AI insights or telemetry.
Can NearSight find all hidden devices?
NearSight is a Bluetooth explorer, not a dedicated security device. It may not recognize all devices, especially new or niche hardware, and cannot guarantee finding every tracker or listening device. It only sees Bluetooth signals.
What are the optional AI insights in NearSight?
Optional AI insights provide plain-language explanations of what NearSight is detecting. You can use your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key, or run a compact model entirely on your device for these features.
How often is NearSight updated?

Is NearSight suitable for children?
NearSight has an age rating of 4+. While it is free to use and does not contain ads, its technical nature might be more engaging for older users interested in exploring Bluetooth technology.
