Lost your earbuds, headphones, or another Bluetooth device? Findo turns your iPhone into a clear proximity radar so you can follow the signal back to your missing gear. HOW IT WORKS 1. Scan for powered-on Bluetooth devices nearby. 2. Choose a device and move slowly while the live signal settles. 3. Follow the proximity score, trend, haptics, and sound until you find it. BUILT FOR A BETTER SEARCH - Live proximity radar with signal score, stability, and an honest distance estimate - One-meter signal calibration for more useful guidance in your environment - Compare Rooms: record readings in different rooms and rank the strongest location - Hunt Mode with faster haptics and tones as the signal improves - Play Sound for compatible accessories that support the Bluetooth Immediate Alert profile - Optional last-known location showing where this iPhone last detected a saved device - My Devices filter, saved favorites, battery readings when supported, and last-seen history - Live Activity, Home Screen widget, deep links, and proximity notifications - English and Turkish interface, light and dark appearance, no ads WORKS WITH Many powered-on Bluetooth Low Energy devices, including wireless earbuds, headphones, speakers, smartwatches, fitness bands, hearing devices, and item trackers. Device names, battery level, connection, and sound support depend on what each accessory broadcasts or exposes. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No Findo account and no advertising trackers. Saved devices and optional saved locations stay on your iPhone and App Group. Apple and our purchase provider process anonymous subscription status needed to unlock Pro. See the privacy policy for full details. HONEST ABOUT BLUETOOTH Bluetooth signal changes around walls, furniture, bags, and people. Findo estimates proximity; it does not provide an exact live GPS position for the accessory. A device must be powered on, nearby, and actively broadcasting. Findo does not use Apple's Find My network and cannot find powered-off devices, devices that have stopped advertising, or earbuds sealed in some charging cases. Play Sound and battery readings work only on accessories that expose compatible standard Bluetooth services. Findo Pro unlocks unlimited device results and tracking, Hunt Mode, calibration, Compare Rooms, compatible Play Sound, optional last-known-location maps, Live Activities, widgets, and proximity alerts. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Payment is charged to your Apple ID after confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

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.
