Finx is the most advanced device detection app for iPhone. Whether you're checking a hotel room, Airbnb, or office for hidden cameras, scanning your network for unknown devices, or tracking a lost Bluetooth gadget — Finx puts powerful privacy tools in your pocket. HIDDEN CAMERA DETECTOR Analyze your environment for infrared light sources and electromagnetic signals that hidden recording devices emit. Spy cameras and covert recorders are designed to be invisible — Finx is designed to find them. BLUETOOTH SCANNER Discover every Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device broadcasting nearby. See device names, signal strength, estimated distance, manufacturer identity, and service UUIDs. Unnamed devices with strong signals are automatically flagged — a hallmark of hidden trackers. WI-FI NETWORK SCANNER Map every device on your local network in seconds. Identify smart TVs, IP cameras, printers, routers, and IoT devices. View hostnames, IP addresses, and device categories at a glance. DEVICE TRACKER Lock onto any Bluetooth device and track its signal strength in real time. Use the live proximity indicator to physically locate lost earbuds, speakers, tags, or any BLE accessory. WHY FINX? - All scans run entirely on your device — nothing is sent to the cloud - No account, no login, no personal data collected - Clean interface built for quick, decisive results - Works on any Wi-Fi network with no extra hardware - Supports BLE and mDNS/Zeroconf discovery COMMON USE CASES - Inspect hotel rooms and Airbnbs for hidden cameras before unpacking - Find lost Bluetooth headphones, AirTags, or accessories - Audit your home or office network for unfamiliar devices - Detect covert trackers attached to your car or belongings - Verify Wi-Fi security at home, in cafés, or while travelling SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Payment will be charged to your App Store account at confirmation of purchase.

About

Guided Help

Features
Read full description

Point your camera at the thing you need help with. Guided Help walks you through it, one clear step at a time. Something not working? Something new you're not sure how to use? A setting you can't find, or a job you'd rather not guess your way through? Take a picture and follow one plain instruction at a time, read aloud if you like, until you're all set. HOW IT WORKS Take a picture of what you need help with. Add a few words about what you'd like, or skip that. Then follow the steps, one per screen, with big text and big buttons. If a step doesn't work, tap "That didn't work" and get another way through. EVERY PATH ENDS SOMEWHERE GOOD Either you're all set, or you get a short script with exactly what to tell the person who can help. Never a dead end. MADE TO BE READABLE Large type that only scales up. Steps read aloud, if you turn that on. Two choices on every screen, never more. High contrast throughout, on iPhone and iPad. SAFETY COMES FIRST Anything involving gas, mains electricity, ladders, or sealed devices gets a plain recommendation: bring in a professional. No account. No sign-in. Open it and point.
