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.

Magnet Meter turns your iPhone's built-in magnetometer into a powerful magnetic field detector and metal finder. Sweep your phone over any surface and watch the live gauge, color heatmap, and audio tones react instantly as you close in on magnets, magnetized metal, and hidden magnetic anomalies. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Detector gauge: a big, easy-to-read radial meter shows magnetic field deviation in real time, with peak-hold so you never miss a spike. - Audio + haptic feedback: hear and feel the field get stronger, so you can scan without looking at the screen. - Axis view: see the raw X, Y, Z magnetic components and total field strength. - Waterfall: a scrolling history graph reveals how the field changes as you move. - Compass: a true-north compass that also shows how nearby metal bends the field. - AR Heatmap (Pro): paint magnetic field strength right into the space around you using your camera. WHAT IT FINDS Magnet Meter detects changes in the magnetic field. It is great for finding magnets, magnetized steel and iron, speaker magnets, hidden hardware, rebar, and magnetic studs. Because it measures magnetism, it does NOT detect copper pipes, aluminum, or live AC wiring. ZERO / CALIBRATE Tap Zero to capture the ambient field as your baseline, so only nearby objects register. A built-in calibration prompt helps keep readings on track. CUSTOMIZE - Multiple color maps and units (microtesla, gauss, milligauss) - Adjustable sensitivity - Clean, focused interface designed for one-handed sweeping MAGNET METER PRO A single one-time purchase (no subscription) unlocks the AR magnetic heatmap, CSV session export, a finer sensitivity floor, watermark-free sharing, and removes ads. Your purchase applies to your Apple ID across all your devices. IMPORTANT Magnet Meter is for educational and entertainment use only. Readings are relative and approximate and may be inaccurate. It is not a calibrated scientific or safety instrument: do not rely on it to locate live electrical wiring, gas lines, or any hazard. Requires a device with a magnetometer.
