RNF Beacon Toolkit vs nRF Matter

The RNF Beacon Toolkit is a simple app that allows your compatible iOS device to become ​a Bluetooth Low Energy (iBeacon compatible) broadcaster and scanner. You can quickly and simply automatically generate beacons ​or manually create beacons with the aid of QR codes. You can do region monitoring and ranging as well as advertise your beacons ​using custom UUID, Major and Minor identifiers​. And, if you’re new to the technology, we’ve included a simple Beacon Guide which tells you everything you need to know. This app requires an iOS device with Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth v4.0).

nRF Matter is a developer-focused sample application demonstrating how to build and interact with Matter-enabled devices. See how Matter-enabled devices are commissioned, connected, controlled, and managed in practice. In addition to standard Matter functionality, the app includes examples of cluster extensions, manufacturer-specific clusters, and light-switch binding, making it a practical reference for developers implementing advanced Matter features and custom device behaviours.
