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.

SONAR: HIDDEN CAMERA AND TRACKER DETECTOR Sonar helps you check for hidden cameras, hidden microphones, and Bluetooth/Wi-Fi trackers, a privacy inspection support tool with infrared, Wi-Fi network, and Bluetooth scanning. Whether you're in a motel room, hotel, Airbnb, locker room, public restroom, fitting room, car, or your own luggage, Sonar helps you inspect the space in minutes. IMPORTANT: no phone app can guarantee with certainty that a space is free of hidden cameras. Sonar is a support tool, each finding comes with a confidence level so you can physically check the spot it flags. Always use it alongside a manual inspection. DETECTOR FEATURES Infrared scanner Point your phone's camera and look for the telltale reflection of hidden spy camera lenses, a common sign in cameras disguised as a button camera, pen camera, charger, smoke detector, or clock. Works best in a dark room and doesn't replace a physical check. Wi-Fi network and Bluetooth device detection Sonar scans the local Wi-Fi network and nearby Bluetooth devices to flag devices with characteristics of connected cameras or trackers. Each result shows a confidence level, not a definitive confirmation. Bluetooth tracker detector Flags signals from Bluetooth trackers nearby: in your car, bag, luggage, or personal belongings, as support against unwanted tracking during travel and everyday life. Guided sweep A practical checklist walks you through spots where cameras and microphones are commonly hidden: outlets, smoke detectors, picture frames, mirrors, chargers, clocks, and more, so you can physically inspect each one.
