"Begin with a quick scan of local Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals. Every space tells a story, but not every device in that space makes itself known. Whether you're staying in a hotel, renting a temporary apartment, or working in a co-working environment, it’s crucial to understand what’s around you. This app offers a full toolkit for digital awareness, helping you spot devices and connections that don’t belong. These scans instantly detect devices trying to connect, whether they’re idle or active. It’s a powerful way to discover previously unknown electronics nearby — such as unlisted cameras, recorders, or network access points. In places with high foot traffic or shared access, knowing what’s connected can give you immediate peace of mind. Infrared scanning adds a unique visual layer. Use your phone’s camera with a red filter to scan objects, furniture, or dark areas. Bright or unusual reflections may suggest the presence of hidden technology. Unlike simple network scans, IR view helps you assess what might be physically installed — not just what’s broadcasting. The app’s layout is clean and direct. With just one tap, you can access scan tools, switch between modes, and view your history. There’s no complicated onboarding — just open, scan, and review. All results are automatically saved, so if you’re traveling or switching between locations, you’ll always have a reference to compare. To support your decisions, the app also includes in-app advice — like where to aim your infrared scan, how to distinguish safe devices from suspicious ones, and what patterns to watch out for in public areas. Week Premium features include: - Unlimited access to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi scans; - Enhanced infrared mode for deeper visual inspection; - A fully ad-free interface with priority performance. Enjoy a 3-day trial with any subscription. Your iTunes account will be charged after confirming your purchase. Auto-renewal occurs unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Adjust your subscription and renewal preferences in Account Settings.
