Worried about hidden cameras in your hotel, Airbnb, or changing room? Findy turns your iPhone into a powerful hidden camera detector and anti-spy scanner—so you can check any room for spy cameras, hidden microphones, and surveillance bugs in seconds. Whether you're travelling, renting, or just want peace of mind at home, Findy helps you find what you can't see and protect your privacy wherever you go. ► HIDDEN CAMERA DETECTION Use your camera to reveal concealed lenses through infrared (IR) emission detection and lens-reflection analysis—the same techniques used to find night-vision and pinhole spy cameras hidden in smoke detectors, mirrors, alarm clocks, and everyday objects. ► SPY MICROPHONE & BUG SCANNING Sweep your surroundings for suspicious wireless and Bluetooth devices that may be hidden microphones, audio recorders, or surveillance bugs. ► WIRELESS DEVICE SCANNER See nearby Bluetooth and wireless devices on a real-time radar. A signal-strength indicator gets stronger as you move closer, helping you pinpoint the source of a hidden device. ► THREAT MAP Visualise where suspicious devices were detected so you can sweep a space room by room. ► MULTIPLE SCAN MODES Switch between infrared, lens-reflection, and full-scan modes for thorough coverage of any environment. WHO IT'S FOR • Travellers checking hotels, Airbnbs, and rentals • Anyone concerned about being secretly recorded or watched • People who value their privacy and personal security WHY FINDY • Real detection tech: infrared + lens reflection, not just guesswork • Simple enough for beginners, powerful enough for pros • Fast, dark, distraction-free scanning interface • Built for privacy and peace of mind — SUBSCRIPTION — Findy offers an auto-renewing subscription for full access. • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. • Subscription automatically renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Manage or turn off auto-renew anytime in your Apple ID account settings.

A four-mode privacy sweep for hotel rooms, rentals, changing rooms and your own bag. ITEM TRACKER DETECTION • Identifies nearby AirTag, Tile, SmartTag and Chipolo trackers by their Bluetooth signature • Follow detection — the app remembers what it has seen, so it can tell you when the same tracker keeps reappearing across separate sweeps in different places. That pattern, not a single sighting, is what matters • Distance band by signal strength, so you can walk toward it • Your own paired devices are filtered out, and anything found is labelled as a lead to check, never as proof CAMERA AND ROOM SWEEP • Lens reflection check — a guided walkthrough that uses the camera to help you spot the glint of a lens in vents, smoke detectors and mirrors • Bluetooth device scan — counts nearby signals and flags unnamed devices sitting close by • Magnetic anomaly — takes a two-second baseline when the scan starts, then alerts on field spikes as you sweep past fittings ROOM-BY-ROOM SWEEP LIST Work through bedroom, bathroom, living room and office, marking each as swept. Progress saves itself, so an interrupted sweep can be picked up later. RECORDS • Every scan is saved with a 7-day trend and a plain-language summary • Note and favourite any scan; compare two saved scans side by side • Export as CSV or share a single result • Watchlist — mark a device as suspicious and the app tells you when it shows up again WHAT THIS APP CAN AND CANNOT DO iPhone cameras have infrared-cut filters, so this app does not see infrared. The lens check works on reflection: a lens returns a distinctive glint when light hits it straight on. Bluetooth gives you presence and rough distance, never direction. Magnetic detection depends on starting somewhere clean and sweeping slowly. No phone app can guarantee a room is clear — use all four checks together, and treat every hit as something to look at rather than a verdict. If you believe you are being followed or watched, contact local authorities. This app is a tool for looking, not evidence. Available in 25 languages.
