Verifyco helps you inspect suspicious photos, videos, animated GIFs, supported public media links and PDF structure before you trust or share them. SEE THE EVIDENCE, NOT JUST A SCORE Verifyco evaluates available evidence across five governed families: Content Credentials and provenance, capture metadata, on-device neural analysis, temporal consistency for moving media, and frequency diagnostics. Each result shows which checks ran, which were unavailable and how much authority the available evidence carries. The result text names the layer that raised a concern. BUILT FOR HONEST UNCERTAINTY Not every file contains enough evidence for a definitive answer. Verifyco distinguishes likely authentic, inconclusive, suspicious and likely manipulated outcomes without treating a missing signature or an uncalibrated signal as proof. An inconclusive result now shows which way the evidence leans: toward authentic, toward AI-generated, or mixed. A "What does this number mean?" legend next to the score explains each band; the number is an evidence ranking, not a probability. When the engine cannot get enough visual evidence from a file, Verifyco says so in plain language, and that attempt does not use a free analysis or a credit. Content Credentials describe provenance; they do not guarantee that a depicted scene is factually true. PRIVATE LOCAL-FILE ANALYSIS Photos and videos selected from your device are analyzed on your iPhone. Supported public-link analysis is a separate online workflow: the submitted URL and linked media are processed temporarily by the extraction service so the app can inspect them. An optional OpenAI provenance check is off by default; only if you switch it on in Settings are JPEG, PNG and WebP images sent through Verifyco's server to OpenAI's Content Provenance API to look for OpenAI's own signals, and the server deletes the image afterwards. Crash reports and usage statistics are shared only if you choose to share them. Verifyco is an analysis tool, not a source-media download or export utility. WHAT'S INSIDE โ€ข Graded inconclusive results with a "What does this number mean?" score legend โ€ข A plain-language screen when a file can't be checked, with nothing charged โ€ข A redesigned ten-step onboarding experience โ€ข Local PDF structure review with a document-specific result โ€ข Train Your Eye guided real-versus-AI challenges โ€ข Interactive comparison and evidence explanations โ€ข Improved C2PA Content Credentials states, trust-list verification and declared-tool attribution โ€ข Image (including WebP, TIFF and BMP), video, animated GIF and bounded 4K workflows โ€ข Improved Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook public-link analysis โ€ข Detailed evidence breakdowns, history and shareable PDF reports, translated in all 20 languages โ€ข Advanced score-excluded edit/container and consistency diagnostics โ€ข Analyses that keep running when you switch tabs, with cancel and Live Activity progress โ€ข Optional OpenAI provenance check for images, off by default โ€ข Optional saving of in-app camera captures to Photos โ€ข VoiceOver, Larger Text and Reduced Motion improvements โ€ข 20 in-app languages FREE, CREDITS AND PRO Start with three analyses. Optional rewarded ads can add analysis rights. One-time analysis credit packs add analyses without a subscription; credits never expire and stay on the device where you bought them. Pro removes ads and unlocks higher usage limits and detailed report capabilities. Every plan runs the same analysis engine; large-file, sampling and reporting capacity may differ. Current products, localized prices, renewal terms and any eligible trial are shown by the App Store before purchase. IMPORTANT Verifyco provides probabilistic decision-support, not a legal finding or guarantee. Preserve original media and use qualified human review for consequential decisions.

Professional Bluetooth LE scanner and debugger for iOS. Periphery gives developers, engineers, and power users a complete toolkit for inspecting Bluetooth Low Energy devices. Scan nearby devices, read GATT services and characteristics, write values, and subscribe to notifications โ€” all in one elegant app. FEATURES - Scan and discover nearby BLE devices in real time - Full GATT inspector: browse services, characteristics, and descriptors - Read, write, and subscribe to BLE characteristics - Automatic UUID identification for known devices - Device fingerprinting: identify chips from Nordic, ESP32, Xiaomi, Shelly - Offline UUID database โ€” no internet required - Dark interface optimized for hardware labs - Find lost Bluetooth devices, tags, and trackers by signal strength (RSSI) with a live proximity meter, a signal graph and an optional beep that speeds up as you get closer - Give devices your own names: they keep them next time and are listed first - Filter the list by minimum signal or hide devices that advertise no name PRO FEATURES Unlock with Periphery Pro: - Unlimited scanning, with no session limit - Session logging: every read, write and notification saved - Unlimited saved sessions, exportable as plain text - No ads, ever FREE VERSION Free to download. The first 3 scan sessions are free, with ads. Unlimited scanning, session logs and no ads need Periphery Pro (subscription or lifetime purchase). BUILT FOR - iOS and embedded developers - IoT engineers and hobbyists - Hardware prototypers - QA engineers testing BLE products - Anyone debugging Bluetooth connectivity - Anyone hunting a lost Bluetooth tag, tracker, or pair of earbuds COMMON QUESTIONS Does it work without an account or internet? Yes to both. Everything happens over Bluetooth on the device. What can it actually see? Any Bluetooth Low Energy device advertising nearby: name, address, RSSI, advertisement data, then the full GATT tree โ€” services, characteristics, descriptors โ€” with read, write and notify. Can it find my lost earbuds or a tracker? It can tell you whether they are advertising and how strong the signal is, which gets you warmer or colder as you walk. It cannot show a map or a direction: BLE gives signal strength, not bearing. Does it work with classic Bluetooth devices? No. iOS only exposes Bluetooth Low Energy to apps. Car kits and older audio devices that use classic Bluetooth are invisible to any app on the App Store. Why does the address change every few minutes? That is iOS, not the app. Apple rotates the identifier it shows you for privacy, so the same device can appear under different addresses. Does it work on iPad? Yes.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Verifyco at none against Periphery's shown. Periphery's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
