About

BleARRadar

Features
Read full description

BleARRadar is an AR radar that visualizes nearby Bluetooth (BLE) devices as 3D sphere markers in the space around you. Just hold up your phone and walk through your room — detected devices appear floating in space. Color shifts from green (close) to red (far), with name and distance labels. Identify Macs, iPhones, AirPods, Apple TVs, smart TVs, beacons and more at a glance. 【Main Features】 ■ AR Sphere Markers RSSI multilateration estimates device positions and renders them as 3D spheres. Accuracy improves in real time as you walk around. ■ 2D Top-Down Minimap A radar-style minimap in the top-right corner. Toggle heading-up / north-up. Pinch to zoom radius from 1m to 20m. ■ AirTag-Style Direction Navigation Tap "Navigate" on any device — a large arrow and distance appear. Within 50cm, it switches to a green checkmark. ■ Manual Calibration Long-press above a device to place a purple anchor, then tap "Set as true position" to pin the marker accurately. ■ Vision Auto-Calibration (Experimental) Point the camera at your Mac or TV — the Vision framework's object detection auto-matches a BLE device and pins it. ■ 3D RSSI Field Visualization Select a device and turn on "Field" — the RSSI strength appears as a 3D point cloud, showing how the signal attenuates in space. ■ Geiger Counter Sound Click sound speeds up as the strongest RSSI device gets closer, like a physical detector. ■ AR Screen Recording + Share Record via ReplayKit, then share or save to Photos. ■ Aliases and Favorites Rename devices to your liking, persisted across launches. Filter to show only starred devices. ■ Data Export (CSV / JSON) Export all observations, positions, and calibrations for analysis on Mac. 【Who is it for?】 - IoT / BLE developers wanting to verify device behavior - Curious users wanting to "see" Bluetooth devices around them - Anyone interested in feeling the world of radio waves - Creators showcasing AR × IoT demos on social media 【Requirements】 iOS 17 or later (ARKit-capable iPhone / iPad) 【Notes】 - This app uses experimental technology; accuracy depends on environment and devices - Do not use for safety-critical purposes - Detection range is limited to BLE advertisement reception - Comply with local laws when using

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: BleARRadar at none against App Debug Assistant's shown. App Debug Assistant's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
