Bluetooth Inspector vs TCP Port Scanner

Discover nearby Bluetooth peripherals and inspect their services for information and characteristics. • View information and signal strength for all peripherals and devices, updating in real time as you move around. • Get battery level for your own Apple devices — no need to install the app on all your devices. • See model identification broadcast by devices around you, mapping device identifiers to the marketing name. • Extract software and firmware version strings from devices broadcasting this information. • Read any characteristic's value, even for services not well known and are custom to the device being interrogated. • Write characteristic values back to the peripheral as string, numeric or hex. • See a history of the value of a characteristic since the session started, timestamped to when the value changed. • Log found peripherals, services, characteristics and values, and export a .log file of timestamped events for your analysis. • Shortcuts integration with actions for scanning and interrogation, enumerating services and characteristics, and reading values. • Background scanning by advertised service IDs with device count mapped by location found and status shown in a Live Activity. Get support @grgarside or georgegarside.com/apps/bluetooth-inspector Constant use of Bluetooth connectivity can drain your device's battery. Bluetooth connectivity is only used when this app is in the foreground and up to a few seconds after being backgrounded to safely disconnect from peripherals being interrogated, unless Background Scanning is enabled in the app and the Live Activity is running.

This application provides a lightweight and efficient network utility designed for technical users who need to perform TCP port scanning and basic network diagnostics directly from their device. No root access is required. Simply specify an IP address and a port range to initiate a scan. Key Features - TCP Port Scanner Detects open TCP ports on reachable hosts within a specified range. Useful for network diagnostics, service verification, and security assessments. - Selectable Text Output Scan results are aggregated into a single selectable text block, enabling easy copying, logging, and external analysis. - Low Overhead, High Responsiveness Optimized for quick scanning without unnecessary background processes or resource consumption. - Mobile-First Network Tool Execute network checks, service availability tests, and connectivity validation directly from your smartphone. Target Users This tool is intended for IT professionals, including: - Network engineers - System administrators - Security analysts - DevOps and SRE practitioners - Users managing home or small-office networks - Technicians verifying IoT device connectivity Legal and Ethical Notice This application must be used only on networks and devices for which you have explicit authorization. Unauthorized port scanning may violate local laws, organizational policies, or service agreements.
