Bluetooth Tool vs UniversalBle Explorer

Bluetooth Debug Tool brings BLE connections, communication records and protocol analysis into one workbench for hardware, software and embedded engineers. Included tools • Scan BLE peripherals, inspect advertisements and RSSI, and save aliases and favorites. • Explore services and characteristics, read and write HEX or UTF-8, and subscribe to notifications. • Trace individual devices and characteristic instances. Filter by receive origin, prefix, byte pattern, offset or length. • Save captures, export TXT and CSV, and filter or replay sessions offline. • Keep one free project with TX/RX channels, decode fields and filter settings. • Frame fixed-length, delimiter-based and length-field protocols; check SUM, XOR and CRC; decode SLIP and 7E/7D byte escaping. • Use numeric formulas, an offline script sandbox, flow editing and previews. Editing and previews do not send commands. • Use iPhone tab navigation or the iPad sidebar and detail workspace, with light/dark appearance and Dynamic Type. Optional Pro • Multiple projects and configuration import. • Execute command loops, variables and conditional branches with write acknowledgments and response-prefix checks. • Capture records before and after an incident trigger. • Compare last received values and GATT structure snapshots. • Run a single-service virtual BLE peripheral with read, write, notification and echo support. Lifetime access, monthly subscriptions and yearly subscriptions unlock the same Pro features. See the purchase screen for current localized prices and periods. Subscriptions renew automatically. Cancel future renewals in system subscription settings; access continues through the current paid period. Restore purchases is available. Data is stored locally by default. Imports, exports and sharing are initiated by you. Live communication requires compatible BLE hardware and Bluetooth permission. Scripts use a restricted numeric language. Virtual peripherals and flow execution run in the foreground. Prefix matches and Bluetooth write acknowledgments do not prove device-level business success. Available in 20 interface languages, including Arabic with right-to-left layout. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Pro • Signal charts and limit analysis • Field inspection • Diagnostic packages • Evidence-based diagnostics • Run regression comparison • Diagnostic cases • iCloud sync Manually sync projects, captures, reports and cases between devices with the same Apple ID using iCloud Drive, preserving conflicting copies.

UniversalBle Explorer is an open-source developer tool for discovering, connecting to and debugging Bluetooth Low Energy devices. Built on the universal_ble Flutter plugin, it offers a consistent experience across all platforms. SCAN & DISCOVER • Real-time scanning with a prominent scan button and a Start Scan prompt when no devices are found • Filter by service UUIDs, name prefix or manufacturer data, with saved presets that persist between sessions • Search devices by name or company name, resolved from Bluetooth SIG company identifiers • Sort by RSSI, last seen or name • View RSSI, the last advertisement and a live advertisement list that flashes as new packets arrive • Scanning continues while you inspect a device • Inspect devices already connected at system level on supported platforms CONNECT • One-tap connect and disconnect with live connection state • Optional autoConnect for automatic reconnection • Multiple simultaneous connections SERVICES & CHARACTERISTICS • Full GATT discovery with clear, human-readable output • Favorite services first, system services last • Property filter chips for read, write, notify, indicate and more • Text search by characteristic UUID, ignoring case and hyphens • Previous/next navigation between characteristics • Copy the complete service layout from the panel header READ, WRITE & SUBSCRIBE • Read characteristic values on demand • Write with or without response • Subscribe to notifications and indications, individually or for all at once • Live values in the log with timestamps GATT SERVER • Create, edit and manage GATT server profiles with services and characteristics • Run a peripheral server with advertising • Add or remove services at runtime • Import and export profiles as JSON DEVICE FINGERPRINT • Capture a complete fingerprint in one tap: 60 seconds of consolidated advertisements, discovered services, all readable values and a rolling-ID check after reconnecting • Copy the full report or stop the capture at any time LOGS & DIAGNOSTICS • Add custom log entries and clear individual entries • Auto-scroll to the newest entry, with a persisted toggle • Characteristic UUIDs included on read, write and error entries • Copy advertisements with an optional RSSI column • Detailed error codes and a configurable operation timeout POWER USER TOOLS • Command queue: Global, Per Device, Auto or None • Request a larger MTU for higher throughput • Pair and unpair devices with live pairing state • Guided permission flow and Bluetooth availability indicator BUILT FOR DEVELOPERS Whether you are building a BLE product, testing hardware, validating firmware or learning Bluetooth Low Energy, UniversalBle Explorer gives you the visibility and control you need. It is free, open source and built on the universal_ble plugin.
