This application provides tools for discovering and interacting with nearby Bluetooth-enabled devices. Scanning occurs in real time, with continuous updates as new devices are detected or signal strength changes. Each discovered device is presented with identifying information and available service data. Detailed inspection of services and characteristics is supported. Characteristics from both standard profiles and custom implementations can be accessed for reading. When permitted, values can also be written using various data formats such as plain text, numeric input or hexadecimal representation. A session-based view tracks characteristic value changes with timestamps, allowing structured observation of device behavior over time. This is useful for monitoring, debugging or data analysis during live interactions. All discovered devices, their services and associated characteristics can be logged. These logs can be exported in a structured format suitable for external processing or documentation. Built-in support for automation systems enables remote control of core actions such as scanning, retrieving data and listing available services and characteristics. This makes the application adaptable for integration into testing environments, workflows or development pipelines.
