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 โ€” 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 โ€ข Live scan of nearby Bluetooth LE devices, sorted by signal strength โ€ข Save devices to your list and give them your own nicknames โ€ข Swipe to remove a saved device at any time โ€ข Full detail view per device: signal strength (RSSI), TX power, MTU, connectable state, service UUIDs, manufacturer data, and more โ€ข Automatic background refresh keeps saved devices' signal strength and data up to date while you're on the Home screen โ€ข On-demand decoding of common BLE beacon formats โ€” iBeacon, Eddystone, and Apple Continuity โ€” shown as readable fields instead of raw hex โ€ข Export your saved device list as a JSON file via the share sheet โ€ข Scan preferences: auto-stop timer, hide unnamed devices, minimum signal strength filter โ€” all remembered between launches โ€ข Dark mode by default, with a light mode toggle โ€” your choice is remembered too โ€ข 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.

About

AgentsDock

Read full description

AgentsDock is the control surface for the AI agents you already run. AgentsDock talks to a small open-source server (AgentsServer) that you deploy yourself in one command. Every chat, job, and file stays on your infrastructure โ€” and can be reached from anywhere. SYNCED ACROSS EVERY DEVICE Start a job on your Mac, check it from your iPhone or iPad, or drive it from Linux โ€” every chat stays in sync in real time, wherever you are. RICH MEDIA, RIGHT IN THE CHAT Videos, simulation output, and image grids land directly in the conversation as your agent produces them. ALL YOUR CHATS, ORGANIZED Group work by project or folder, switch between Claude and Codex per chat, and keep every thread in one place instead of scattered across terminal tabs. FULLY SELF-HOSTED Run everything on your own Mac, Linux box, or cluster. Your code, credentials, and outputs never leave infrastructure you control. FULL TERMINAL, EVEN ON YOUR PHONE Each chat owns a persistent terminal session on your server โ€” drop into a real shell from your phone whenever you need to. SCHEDULE JOBS AHEAD OF TIME Queue a run to fire now, after an interval, or on a repeating loop โ€” kick off long research jobs without babysitting them. HAND OFF BETWEEN AGENTS Digest mode lets one chat summarize its work and send it straight into another, so long chains of work don't need manual copy-pasting. OPEN SOURCE SERVER AgentsServer is MIT-licensed and fully open source โ€” read the code, fork it, and self-host it for as long as you like. The client is not open source yet. Requires a server you control running the AgentsServer installer, with Claude Code and/or Codex CLI already authenticated. AgentsDock does not include AI models or API access itself.
