Lost your earbuds in the couch cushions again? Can't find your Bluetooth headphones? Poddi turns your iPhone into a precision finder for any nearby wireless device — earbuds, trackers, headphones, speakers, smartwatches, and more. No signup. No account. Free scanning. Premium adds the live radar that actually leads you to it. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap to Scan Poddi instantly detects every Bluetooth device around you and sorts them by signal strength — strongest first. 2. Lock On with Live Radar Pick your device and watch the signal pulse in real time. Walk slowly and the signal climbs as you get closer. Sound and vibration alerts get more intense the closer you are. 3. Find It Tap "I Found It" and you're done. Poddi remembers the last-seen location on a map, so next time you have a head start. FEATURES • Live RSSI signal-strength radar — pulses in real time as you move • Save your devices — favorites tracked across sessions • Last-seen location on a map — see where each device was last detected • Sound + vibration alerts — louder beeps and stronger haptics as the signal grows • Near / Far proximity hints • Beautiful, minimal interface — built natively for iOS • Dark mode • 8 languages — English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Russian WORKS WITH Poddi works with virtually any Bluetooth Low Energy device, including AirPods, Beats, Galaxy Buds, JBL, Bose, Sony WH-series, fitness bands, smartwatches, and Bluetooth speakers. AirPods is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries. Poddi is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Apple Inc. HOW IT FINDS DEVICES Poddi guides you closer using Bluetooth signal strength (RSSI). It is signal-based, not GPS-based — perfect for finding devices in a room, but it doesn't pinpoint exact coordinates. The closer you get, the stronger the signal and the louder the alerts. Devices that aren't broadcasting (such as AirPods inside a closed charging case, or devices that are powered off or out of battery) cannot be detected. Bluetooth range typically extends about 10 meters / 30 feet. PODDI+ PREMIUM Poddi+ unlocks the live radar and unlimited scanning. Start with a 3-day free trial. • Subscription length: 1 week • Free trial: 3 days • Auto-renewable subscription • Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings Payment is charged to your Apple ID at the end of the free trial. Subscription automatically renews at the regular weekly price unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. PRIVACY FIRST Poddi scans Bluetooth signals locally on your device. We don't track you, we don't sell data, and we don't require an account.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: Device Tracker at 3 against Poddi's 1. Device Tracker also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
