TrackBuds: Lost Earbud Finder

TrackBuds is an earbud finder app that helps you find lost earbuds, lost AirPods, headphones and other Bluetooth devices by turning your iPhone into a Bluetooth radar. Scan, pick the device you are missing, and walk toward the signal until it turns up. Need to find earbuds that fell between the couch cushions? Left your headphones somewhere in the house? Instead of retracing your steps, let TrackBuds show you how close you are. It listens for nearby Bluetooth devices and shows a live signal-strength meter that climbs as you get closer, so the search ends in minutes instead of hours. FIND LOST EARBUDS, FIND LOST HEADPHONES • Scan: find Bluetooth devices around you that are powered on, in range and identify themselves, no pairing required • Track: pick a device and follow the proximity indicator; the number climbs as you get closer • Found it: save the spot on the map so you know where your devices tend to turn up A BLUETOOTH SCANNER APP WITH A RADAR VIEW Under the hood TrackBuds is a BLE scanner. It reads the Bluetooth Low Energy advertisements that headphones, speakers and other gadgets broadcast while they are switched on, and lists the devices that identify themselves (by the name they broadcast, or for AirPods and Beats by model), sorted by signal strength. Nameless Bluetooth traffic is left out, so you can see the devices around you at a glance and choose the one you are looking for. LOST HEADPHONES, GALAXY BUDS, BEATS AND MORE Need to find lost headphones, Galaxy Buds or Beats rather than AirPods? The method is the same: switch the device on, start a scan, and follow the meter. TrackBuds works as a headphone finder and earphone finder for over-ear headphones and headsets, as a wireless earbuds finder for true wireless pairs, and as a general Bluetooth device finder for portable speakers and other gadgets that identify themselves over Bluetooth. Think of it as a headphone tracker and Bluetooth tracker in one place, plus a device locator that remembers where things were found. It is not tied to one brand: Galaxy Buds, Sony, Bose, JBL, JLab and Raycon earbuds and headphones show up the same way, as long as they are switched on and identify themselves over Bluetooth. WHAT TRACKBUDS CAN AND CANNOT FIND If you are searching for an AirPods finder, one rule matters: AirPods and Beats only broadcast while they are out of the charging case and switched on, and a closed or empty case does not broadcast at all. TrackBuds can only look for them in that state, the same as any other device. It cannot find AirTags or other devices that hide behind rotating Find My identifiers, and it does not make a device play a sound; it guides you by signal strength alone. REMEMBER WHERE THINGS TURN UP Every time you find a device you can save the spot on a map. The next time the same pair goes missing, check your saved locations first and start the search from the place it was found last. TrackBuds needs Bluetooth to scan for devices and uses your location only to save where you found them. Note: a device must be powered on, emitting a Bluetooth signal, and within range (about 10 meters indoors) to be detectable. Scanning for devices and live tracking are part of the TrackBuds subscription; new subscribers can start with a free trial where eligible.
