Find Bluetooth is an app that tracks Bluetooth devices around you, both nearby and distant, displaying on a radar screen the devices it has found and the approximate distance of each one. The farther away a device is, the more blue it will be and the farther from the radar center it will appear. The closer a device is to you, the more red it will be and the closer to the radar center it will appear. The radar displays the device name and Bluetooth signal strength. You can focus on any of the devices by tapping on it. When you tap on it, you'll see a card with more device details, including the device name and signal strength. The app is capable of detecting and identifying devices compatible with Bluetooth LE technology. This includes smartwatches, modern wireless headphones, and mobile devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets. The app displays all devices found around you. Many devices share their names, some don't, and these will be identified as "No name" on the radar screen and in the detail card. You can configure the app to hide or show unnamed devices. To do this, tap the settings icon in the upper right corner of the screen and toggle the switch according to your preference.
Find Device
Locate lost Bluetooth-enabled devices like earbuds, smartwatches, and more. The app scans for nearby devices and shows their approximate distance, helping you pinpoint their location.

Can’t find your AirPods, Apple Pencil, Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, iPod, Smartphone, Tablet, Smart Watch, Fitness Tracker, Headphones, Smart Bands, Speakers, or any other Bluetooth device? We can help you! If the lost device is on and its battery isn’t dead, we can provide you with the help to scan and find it via its Bluetooth. How to detect and find the lost device? 1. Open our application, make sure that Bluetooth is on, and the permission to use it is granted. 2. Slowly move around the alleged place of loss and find your device in the list of found. 3. Select the device and watch the distance to it. 4. When the distance is minimal, look around, and you should see it. Additionally, study the video tutorials above. We hope it’ll come in handy and provide an overview of the capabilities of our application for finding lost devices. About the app: In the application you’ll see a list of Bluetooth devices around you and the approximate distance to them. Also, a device name, manufactured name, device type, if such information can be retrieved from a Bluetooth device. You’ll be able to go to a screen with a distance sensor, which will be useful for you when searching. What else is useful in our app: - sorting search results by distance and name; - searching by a specific device name; - possibility to see unnamed Bluetooth devices, perhaps yours is among them; - helpful tips for finding and discovering devices; - convenient scale showing the distance to the device. Tips and Questions: - Why can't I see my device on the list? Sometimes not all devices are visible in the app, because they are turned off, too far away, or just not sending Bluetooth signal. - Why are the distance numbers unstable? The displayed distance is not stable because of the connection type and possible obstacles between you and your founded device. - Why do I see Unknown devices? Some devices don’t transmit data, such as name or manufactured name, however, you’ll be able to see the distance to it. - How to find a single AirPod? If you are looking for a single AirPod – put the other one in the AirPod case and close it. Then wait 5-7 seconds and continue. If you are looking for both AirPods – ignore this advice. - How to find the AirPod case? The AirPods case itself doesn’t send a signal. - Can I find AirPods if they are in a closed AirPod case? No, since AirPods in a closed case do not transmit a signal. - How to find an Apple Pencil? First try our app on iPad, to which Apple pencil was connected. But we could find Apple Pencil on both iPhone and MacBook. - Are you sure your app works? Definitely yes. Our team tested it and hid the devices all over our big office. All the devices were found. The search time was approximately 3-10 minutes. A list of the main BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) devices that you can search for: - Apple devices such as AirPods (on iPhone/iPad), Apple Pencils (only on iPad), Apple Watches, iPods, iPads, MacBooks. - Bluetooth Headphones, Speakers, Earbuds such as JBL, Beats, etc. - Fitness Trackers as Mi Band, Xiaomi, etc. - Smartphones, Tablets, Smart Watches, and Smart Bands such as Microsoft Band, Samsung Gear, etc. - All other Bluetooth BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) devices.
