Worried someone is watching or following you? Hidden Device Radar helps you find hidden cameras, trackers, and unknown smart devices — right from your iPhone. Whether you're checking a hotel room, a short-term rental, an office, a car, or your own home, Hidden Device Radar gives you a fast, private way to spot devices that may be recording or tracking you. WHAT IT DETECTS • Bluetooth devices — trackers (AirTag, Tile, SmartTag, Chipolo), cameras, speakers, wearables, and other IoT gadgets • Wi-Fi / local network devices — IP cameras, baby monitors, NVRs, doorbells, and smart-home hardware • Unknown trackers that may be traveling with you • NFC tags — tap to identify a chip hidden in an object (on supported iPhones) KEY FEATURES • Real-time threat scoring — every device is flagged as Info, Suspicious, Elevated, or Critical • Signal Strength Finder — a "warmer / colder" proximity graph that helps you physically locate a device (Pro) • Scan modes for a quick sweep, a single room, or a whole floor • Detailed device fingerprints and manufacturer identification • Detection history so you can tell what's new versus what's always there • 100% on-device — your scans never leave your iPhone. No account, no tracking, no ads. HIDDEN DEVICE RADAR PRO Unlock everything with a one-time purchase: • Signal Strength Finder • NFC Tap-to-Identify • Full threat analysis and guidance • Unlimited detection history • AI Trend Insight HONEST ABOUT LIMITATIONS Hidden Device Radar detects devices that broadcast Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or NFC signals. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and NFC advertisements are unauthenticated, so results are strong investigative leads — not legal proof of a device's identity or intent. The app cannot detect devices that are powered off, purely analog/wired, or that broadcast no signal. PRIVACY FIRST Everything runs locally on your device. We don't collect, upload, or sell your data. There are no accounts and no ads. Use Hidden Device Radar to check your own spaces and protect your own privacy. Always follow the laws in your area.

About

FileBolt

Read full description

FileBolt is a private file transfer app for sending files and folders from your iPhone or iPad to phones, computers, and web browsers. Pair two devices with a QR scan or a 6-digit code, choose what you want to send, and start the transfer. FileBolt works across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, Android, Windows, Linux, and the web, so you can move photos, videos, documents, ZIP files, APKs, and folders without creating an account. FileBolt uses encrypted WebRTC data channels for transfers. On the same Wi-Fi, LAN discovery helps nearby devices connect quickly and use local network speed. On different networks, FileBolt can fall back to an encrypted relay so transfers can still complete behind restrictive routers or firewalls. The relay forwards encrypted traffic and does not store your files. Key features: - Send files and folders between devices - Pair with a QR code or 6-digit code - No account, signup, login, or email required - Encrypted peer-to-peer transfers using WebRTC - LAN discovery for nearby same-Wi-Fi transfers - Encrypted relay fallback when direct connection is blocked - Cross-platform: iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android, Windows, Linux, and Web - No ads and no in-app purchases - Your files are not uploaded to FileBolt cloud storage Use FileBolt to move photos from iPhone to Mac, send a large video to a Windows PC, share project folders with another computer, receive files in a browser, or move documents between devices without a cable. FileBolt is built for simple private transfers: open, pair, choose files, send. Privacy Policy: https://filebolt.app/privacy/ Terms Of Service: https://filebolt.app/terms/
