Features
Read full description

BLE Inspector is a Bluetooth Low Energy debugging tool that helps you discover nearby devices, inspect advertising data, connect to peripherals, and browse GATT services and characteristics. Read characteristic values, send text or Hex data, subscribe to Notify/Indicate, and review communication logs. Packet templates, automated test flows, archived reports, and throughput testing help streamline device validation. The app also includes scan history, offline and advertising-change events, signal comparison across nearby devices, GATT snapshot comparison, data conversion, and local network file transfer. A per-minute scan health log helps you track long scanning sessions. Connections, reads, writes, and subscriptions run only when you start them, or when you turn on auto-connect for a saved device profile. Built for Bluetooth Low Energy developers, firmware engineers, device validation teams, and QA testers.
