Read full description

BLESync is a powerful Bluetooth Low Energy scanner and analyzer built for developers, engineers, and tech enthusiasts. Whether you're debugging a BLE peripheral, exploring nearby devices, or analyzing GATT profiles โ€” BLESync gives you full visibility into the BLE world around you. SCAN & DISCOVER Instantly scan for all nearby BLE devices. See device names, UUIDs, signal strength (RSSI), manufacturer data, and company names resolved from Bluetooth SIG identifiers. Filter by signal strength, sort by name or last seen, and search across all advertisement data. CONNECT & INSPECT Connect to any connectable BLE peripheral and explore its full GATT profile. Browse services and characteristics, view properties (Read, Write, Notify), and read or write values in HEX or ASCII โ€” all in a clean, easy-to-use interface. LIVE RSSI MONITORING Monitor signal strength in real time with a live RSSI chart. Track minimum, maximum, and average signal values during an active connection session. EVENT LOGGER Every BLE event is logged with a timestamp โ€” scans, connections, disconnections, reads, writes, and notifications. Filter by event type, search across logs, and export as CSV or TXT for further analysis. DEVICE HISTORY BLESync remembers every device you've connected to. Track connection count, session duration, failed attempts, and last connected time. Mark frequently used devices as favourites for quick access. ANALYTICS View connection statistics across all your devices โ€” total connections, failures, disconnects, and average session duration โ€” all in one dashboard. EXPORT & REPORTING Generate detailed session reports and share them via the iOS share sheet. Export filtered logs as CSV or TXT for documentation or debugging. BLESync requires Bluetooth permission to function. It does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.
