Find the Bluetooth devices that matter to you with a clear, friendly signal guide. Found helps you scan for nearby Bluetooth accessories, choose the device you are looking for, and follow changes in signal strength as you move.

New users can explore Pro tools during welcome access. Found Pro is available as a weekly auto-renewable subscription or a one-time lifetime unlock. The App Store shows the exact local price and purchase terms before confirmation. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple Account settings and restore eligible purchases from the Pro screen. GOOD TO KNOW Bluetooth signal readings are estimates, not GPS locations. Walls, pockets, interference, device hardware, and movement can change a reading. A device must be powered on, within Bluetooth range, and broadcasting to appear. Security results are automated clues based on nearby signal patterns; they cannot identify an owner, confirm that a device is a tracker, or guarantee personal safety. Bluetooth access is requested when you choose to start scanning.
