BLE-Analyzer is the professional tool to analyze Bluetooth Low Energy devices from your iPhone or iPad. Built for engineers, integrators, installers and radio enthusiasts, it provides a complete technical view of the BLE spectrum around you. REAL-TIME SCANNING Detect any nearby BLE device with continuous telemetry: smoothed RSSI via EMA filter, distance estimated through log-distance model, periodic advertisements and service data. Sort by signal strength, name or last seen. SMART IDENTIFICATION Automatically recognizes AirPods (every generation, including Pro 2 and Max), Apple Watch, HomePod, Apple TV, iBeacons, Google Eddystone, Tile, AirTag and thousands of Bluetooth SIG manufacturers. The parser interprets Manufacturer Data per company: Apple Continuity, Microsoft Swift Pair, Google Fast Pair, Beats, Tuya and more. GATT EXTRACTION For connectable devices, access the full tree of GATT services and characteristics. Read model, firmware, hardware, serial number and battery level. Decode exclusive metadata from the Device Information Service. PROXIMITY RADAR Local alerts by distance threshold and accumulated exposure time. Optional approach sound. Familiar device list with automatic tracking: if a sensor stays with you for several days, BLE-Analyzer learns it and stops alerting you. DIAGNOSTICS CENTER Real metrics from your iPhone BLE adapter: RSSI peak, jitter, signal stability, visible and connectable device counts. Historical activity chart to detect interference or weak spots in your radio environment. EXPORT Export any session to CSV with every technical field: UUID, RSSI, manufacturer, category, services, manufacturer data and timestamp. Compatible with Excel, Numbers and any analysis tool. MODERN INTERFACE Dark glassmorphism design, smooth animations, throttled UI lists so you do not get overwhelmed when hundreds of packets per second arrive. Quick category filters (Familiar, Connectable, Apple, Audio, Wearable, Trackers, Beacons) and instant search by name, UUID or category.

Without waiting for a new app release, you always have the latest official assignment. AVAILABLE IN 6 LANGUAGES Spanish, English, French, Italian, German and Portuguese. Change the language from Settings without restarting the app. PREMIUM The free version lets you discover devices, see basic data and use the limited proximity radar.
