Check unfamiliar spaces with more confidence. SafeScan brings WiFi, Bluetooth, magnetic-field, and camera-lens inspection tools together on your iPhone—no extra hardware required. A SMARTER WAY TO CHECK YOUR SPACE Hidden cameras and tracking devices can be difficult to notice. Different devices leave different clues, so SafeScan helps you inspect a room in several ways instead of relying on a single signal. FOUR WAYS TO INSPECT • Scan your WiFi network for connected devices, including possible cameras • Check nearby Bluetooth devices that may require investigation • Look for unusual magnetic-field changes around objects and surfaces • Use your iPhone camera and flashlight to spot possible lens reflections or infrared light USE IT WHEREVER PRIVACY MATTERS • Hotels, motels, and vacation rentals • Bedrooms and living spaces • Offices and conference rooms • Changing rooms and locker areas • Your home, vehicle, or personal belongings HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the inspection tool that fits what you want to check 2. Move through the space carefully and follow the on-screen guidance 3. Review anything unusual and inspect it more closely UNDERSTAND YOUR RESULTS SafeScan helps surface signals and devices that may deserve attention. Results are indicators for further inspection—not proof that a hidden camera, microphone, or tracking device is present. Mirrors, electronics, wiring, magnets, and other everyday objects can produce similar readings. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Camera, network, and sensor scan data is processed on your device and is not uploaded or shared. No account is required. Selected inspection tools can work without an internet connection. Anonymous usage analytics help us improve the app; see our Privacy Policy for details. START FREE Use SafeScan free with ads and included scan allowances. Optional Premium unlocks advanced tools and removes ads. PREMIUM INCLUDES • Advanced network-device details • Real-time Bluetooth proximity information • Magnetic-field strength readings • Camera-lens and possible infrared-light inspection • Saved WiFi scan history • Ad-free use Whether you are traveling, checking a new rental, or protecting your space at home, SafeScan gives you a practical toolkit for a more informed privacy check.

Blip turns the Bluetooth signal of the thing you lost into a live proximity meter — and walks you to it. Earbuds gone quiet between the cushions? A speaker left in another room? A tag on your keys somewhere in the house? Blip listens for the signal your device is broadcasting and shows how strong it is right now, updating as you move. WALK IN ON THE SIGNAL • One big, honest number from 0 to 100 that rises as you get closer • Distance bands — on top of it, very close, close, in the area, far • A trend chip that says whether you are getting warmer or colder • Haptics that tick faster the closer you get, so you can search with the phone at your side • A live radar and a 30-second history, so you can see the measurement, not just a verdict WORKS WITH ANY BLUETOOTH DEVICE Earbuds, headphones, watches, fitness bands, speakers, tags and trackers. No pairing, no account, nothing to set up. If it broadcasts, Blip measures it. DETAILS THE DEVICE ITSELF PUBLISHES • Battery level, for devices that report it over standard Bluetooth • Manufacturer, model and firmware version • "Make it beep" for devices that implement the standard Find Me alert — the fastest way to find a tag or a speaker MY DEVICES Save the things you actually lose. Blip pins them to the top of the list, remembers where they were last heard and shows that spot on a map, so you have somewhere to start even when a device has gone silent. BUILT TO BE HONEST Most apps in this category run a "hot and cold" game on a raw, jumping number. Blip filters every sample, smooths the stream and refuses to fake what radio cannot do: • No direction arrows. Signal strength tells you how far away something is, never which way — a phone with one antenna cannot measure a bearing, so Blip never draws one. • No invented precision. You get bands and a percentage, not a made-up "2.3 metres". • When the signal drops, Blip says the signal is lost instead of freezing on the last value. • A device that is switched off, out of battery or sealed inside a closed case does not broadcast at all — and no app, ours included, can find it. Blip tells you that before you start looking. BLIP PREMIUM Precision search, the last-seen map and unlimited saved devices are part of Blip Premium. • Weekly subscription • Yearly subscription Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage your subscription or turn off auto-renewal in your Apple ID account settings after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when a subscription is purchased.

Nothing about the devices around you leaves the phone, and last-seen locations are stored only on your device. All product names, logos and brands are property of their respective owners.
