About

BT/BLE Scanner

Features
Read full description

Bluetooth Scanner turns your iPhone into a Bluetooth Low Energy explorer. Scan the environment, save the devices you care about, and inspect everything they broadcast — right down to the raw advertisement data. No cloud, no account, no internet connection needed: everything happens locally, straight from your device's Bluetooth hardware. FEATURES • Live scan of nearby Bluetooth LE devices, sorted by signal strength • Save devices to your list and give them your own nicknames • Swipe to remove a saved device at any time • Full detail view per device: signal strength (RSSI), TX power, MTU, connectable state, service UUIDs, manufacturer data, and more • Automatic background refresh keeps saved devices' signal strength and data up to date while you're on the Home screen • On-demand decoding of common BLE beacon formats — iBeacon, Eddystone, and Apple Continuity — shown as readable fields instead of raw hex • Export your saved device list as a JSON file via the share sheet • Scan preferences: auto-stop timer, hide unnamed devices, minimum signal strength filter — all remembered between launches • Dark mode by default, with a light mode toggle — your choice is remembered too • Fully offline operation, no tracking, no analytics PRIVACY Bluetooth Scanner does not collect, transmit, or store any data outside your device. Scanned and saved devices exist only for your current session; only your display preferences (theme and scan filters) are remembered locally on your device.

ReadLogs turns cryptic system logs into plain English. Paste, upload, or scan a log — nginx 503s, Cisco BGP flaps, Python tracebacks, Kubernetes CrashLoopBackOff, Windows Event IDs. In seconds you get: • A summary of what's happening • The most likely root cause • Severity rating with confidence score • Concrete suggested fixes you can act on • Critical/warning/info highlighting on every line Built for IT support, junior sysadmins, network engineers, and DevOps teams who'd rather solve a problem than spend an hour Googling its symptoms. Privacy-first: every log is scrubbed of API keys, JWTs, AWS keys, emails, and internal IPs before it ever leaves your device. Your logs are never stored on our servers. Pro unlocks unlimited daily analyses and integrations with CloudWatch, Datadog, and Splunk.
