Where Is It

Features
Read full description

Find anything in your home — a photo-first inventory organized by room. **THE PROBLEM** Where did you put the spare charger? The good scissors? That box of holiday lights? Every household has hundreds of small things, and remembering where each one lives is the kind of friction that nobody ever solves — until you're tearing apart drawers. **WHY YOUR NOTES APP ISN'T ENOUGH** Drop household items into the same notes app where work ideas, shopping lists, and meeting prep already live, and they get buried — filtering them out becomes its own search problem. Notes apps are built around text too, not photos, but you remember what a thing looks like, not what it's called. **THE SOLUTION** Where Is It uses your camera as the front door. Open a room, point at an object, snap. The app organizes every photo by the room it lives in — Living Room, Kitchen, Bedroom, Garage — so "where did I put it" is one tap, one scroll. Share a household with your partner over iCloud, in real time. Photo-first. Private by default. No ads, no tracking.

Find Device: Item Tracker helps you scan nearby Bluetooth signals and track your devices using live signal strength. Use it to find devices around you, compare signal levels, and move closer with a simple proximity view. The app shows nearby named Bluetooth devices, estimated distance, RSSI, last seen time, and signal strength so you can quickly understand what is around you. Features: • Scan nearby Bluetooth devices • View live signal strength and RSSI • Estimate how close a device may be • Track one device with a focused finder screen • Mark favorite devices • Pause and refresh tracking anytime • Get notified when a selected device is found nearby • Save where your iPhone last detected each signal • View detected devices on a last-seen map • Build a relative signal map by walking around • See hidden unnamed Bluetooth signals separately Bluetooth Finder is designed for real-world Bluetooth behavior. Bluetooth signals can change based on walls, distance, battery level, interference, device orientation, and environment. Distance and map positions are estimates based on where your iPhone detects the signal, not exact GPS locations of the device. For best results, walk slowly, turn in different directions, and watch the signal strength update as you move. Terms of Use: https://nhantran2112.github.io/bluetooth-finder-device/terms.html
