BLESerial nRF vs After Me

The dedicated serial terminal for Nordic nRF52 Bluetooth Low Energy boards. BLE Serial nRF52 connects your iPhone or iPad directly to any nRF52-based device and lets you send commands and receive data in real time — no cables, no adapters, no fuss. This free version is identical to the Pro version, except it does not include Functions (custom send buttons and toggle switches) and only works with Nordic nRF52 modules — not CC254x boards such as the HM-10. Built specifically for the nRF52 UART service (6E400001), it works out of the box with popular nRF52 development boards and custom firmware alike. **CONNECT IN SECONDS** Scan for nearby nRF52 devices and see their name, advertised services, manufacturer data, and live signal strength at a glance. Tap to connect. Auto-reconnect brings you straight back to your device every time you open the app. **SERIAL CONSOLE** A smooth scrolling console displays all incoming and outgoing data, with sent text highlighted for easy reading. Adjust font size, line endings, and display format (ASCII or hex) to suit your workflow. **SMART ALERTS** Set text patterns to watch for in incoming data. When a match is found, the app notifies you immediately — ideal for monitoring autonomous devices or catching error conditions. **FULLY CONFIGURABLE** The service and characteristic UUIDs can be adjusted in Settings for custom nRF52 firmware. Supports both standard and 128-bit UUIDs. **CLEAN AND FOCUSED** No ads. No subscriptions. No unnecessary permissions. Just a fast, reliable connection to your nRF52 hardware. **WANT MORE?** Check out BLE Serial Pro — it adds programmable one-tap command buttons, supports HM-10 and CC2541 in the same app, and shows a live console strip so you can see device responses without switching views. Features: • Fully customisable console view, with options like: - Display format (ASCII, Hex, Dec, etc.) - Line numbers and timestamps - Newline behaviour - Style (code or chat) and sound effects • Send data how it suits you: - In different formats (ASCII, Hex, Dec, etc.) - With or without newline/carriage return character at the end - All at once or in chunks (to accommodate for processing time) • Completely functional bluetooth explorer included! Find out the services, descriptors and other properties of any bluetooth device in range • "Send on Connect" option, to send a preset message after pairing • "Auto Reconnect" option, to reconnect automatically to the previous device • Easily copy or share the sent and received messages • Editable service/characteristic UUIDs to connect to • Read/Write characteristic UUIDs can be set separately • Easy to use minimalist layout

When the time comes, your family shouldn't have to search. After Me is the encrypted vault for the documents your family will need — and the only app built around making sure they can actually reach them. The family kit Most document apps store your files. After Me gives your family access to them. When you create a Family Kit, the app generates two things: an encrypted .afterme file containing all your documents, and a printed QR Key Card. Give the card to a trusted person — a partner, an adult child, a solicitor. Keep the file on a USB drive, in Google Drive, or anywhere accessible. When the time comes, your loved one downloads After Me on their own phone. They scan the QR card, select the file, and your vault opens — step by step, guided through exactly what to do. No Apple ID needed. No account. No password. No access to your phone. Just the card and the file. No other app does this. Zero knowledge. Your device. Your data. After Me is local-first. Your documents are encrypted on your device with AES-256-GCM — the same standard used by banks and governments. Nothing leaves your device unless you choose it. We have no ability to see, access, or decrypt your documents. No one does except you. Optional encrypted iCloud Backup is available for personal device recovery. It does not provide family access — that is what the Family Kit is for. Eight categories. Everything they need. Organise your vault across Identity, Financial, Property, Insurance, Medical, Legal, Digital, and Personal. Scan physical documents with your camera, import from Photos or Files, and add personal messages for your loved ones. The app tracks document freshness, alerts you when things expire, and prompts you to update your Family Kit whenever your vault changes significantly. What makes After Me different True zero-knowledge architecture — we cannot see your data, ever Local-first — documents stay on your device by default Family access without your Apple ID, account, or phone Open format — .afterme files can be decrypted independently of the app Biometric protection — Face ID or Touch ID required to open the vault UK-built and GDPR compliant — no data sold, no profiling, ever Pricing Free Store up to five documents — a will, an insurance policy, a passport, a bank note, a personal message. Five is enough to understand exactly what After Me does for your family. No credit card required. Annual Subscription Unlimited documents, Family Kit, up to five vaults, personal messages, and all future features. Cancel any time. Lifetime One-time purchase Everything in the annual plan. Pay once, own it permanently. Your family inherits the access — not the invoice. With a subscription, your family may face a renewal after you are gone. With the lifetime purchase, they never will.
