About

BT/BLE Scanner

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.

deepdig is a free toolbox of network diagnostics built for sysadmins, DevOps engineers and hosting operators — the checks you run every day, faster and more detailed, with no account and no ads. Enter a domain, IP or paste raw data. Checks run in parallel on our servers and results stream in live, each finding graded by severity with a plain-English explanation of why it matters. TOOLS • DNS diagnostics — records, delegation and glue consistency, full DNSSEC chain validation from the root, propagation across 18 public resolvers, and a hop-by-hop recursion trace • SSL/TLS — certificate chain, expiry, hostname match, trust, protocol versions, HSTS • WHOIS — registrar, dates, EPP status codes for domains; RIR allocation, ASN and abuse contacts for IPs • Mail tester — SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, BIMI, MX reachability and STARTTLS • Email header analyzer — paste a raw email, get the Received chain as a timed hop-by-hop trace with SPF/DKIM/DMARC verdicts • DNSBL / blacklists — check IPs and domains against major blocklists, Spamhaus included • HTTP headers — security headers, redirect chain, cookie flags, server fingerprint • HTTP/3 — ALPN negotiation, Alt-Svc advertisement and CDN detection • IP info — ASN, announced prefix, rDNS, country and hosting classification • Certificate Transparency log search • Subnet/CIDR calculator and a password generator WATCHES — GET NOTIFIED WHEN THINGS CHANGE Put a domain or IP on watch and deepdig re-checks it for you. You get a push notification only when something actually changes: a certificate crossing 14, 7 or 1 day to expiry (and a recovery notice when it renews), a new blacklist listing or a delisting, or a changed DNS record set. No noise, no daily digests — alerts only on real transitions. BUILT THE WAY YOU'D WANT IT • Results stream in as each check completes — no spinners • Every run is saved as a shareable permalink snapshot • History and side-by-side comparison for any target • Share a URL or domain from any app to open the right tool prefilled • Dark mode that follows your system • No account, no ads, no tracking, no analytics. Free. deepdig is the mobile companion to deepdig.dev — same engine, same results, in your pocket.
