Your Beacon Simulator vs BDUI Go

Your Beacon Simulator is a powerful, multi-platform developer utility designed to simulate, broadcast, and discover virtual beacons. Built entirely in modern SwiftUI, it eliminates the need for physical hardware when testing location-based applications, indoor navigation systems, or proximity triggers. Whether you are configuring virtual beacons on the go or managing complex proximity layouts from your desk, the app leverages your device's native Bluetooth stack to deliver a seamless, hardware-free testing environment. KEY FEATURES • Virtual Beacon Broadcasting Group multiple configurations under a single Proximity UUID. Enjoy full control over Major/Minor IDs and calibrate Measured TX Power on the fly. Export and share your configurations instantly. • Advanced Discovery & Scanning Target specific Proximity UUIDs to actively scan your environment. The real-time dashboard categorizes signals (Immediate, Near, Far, Unknown) and provides deep-dive metrics including raw RSSI, estimated distance in meters, and last-seen timestamps. • Apple Watch Companion* Control active broadcasts and discovery scans right from your wrist. Enjoy real-time state mirroring, tactical haptic feedback, and a tailored wearable UI. • Background Monitoring* Utilize CoreLocation to track UUID regions even when the app is minimized. Get rich local notifications and pinpoint the exact Major/Minor ID that triggered an event. • Session-Based Live Logging Eliminate guesswork with a real-time event ledger. Track exactly when your app initiates scanning, catches a new beacon, or marks a missing device as stale. OPEN SOURCE Proudly open-source under the AGPL-3.0 license.

Background Monitoring is available exclusively on iOS and iPadOS.

BDUI Go is a runner for server-driven UI: it opens apps described by JSON schemas and renders them natively — the way a browser opens websites, only for mobile screens. A schema is data, not code: it declares which components to show and which HTTP requests to make. BDUI Go renders that data with native Compose Multiplatform components — no webview, no downloaded executables. Scan a QR code or open a link, and the app it points to loads instantly. When its author publishes an update, you see the new screens in seconds — no reinstall, no waiting for a new version. TRY IT RIGHT AWAY — NO ACCOUNT NEEDED • Component showcase: every BDUI building block, rendered live from JSON • Currency exchange demo: live rates from the Frankfurter API with pull-to-refresh • Weather demo: city search and forecasts via the Open-Meteo API • Auth demo: automatic token injection with transparent refresh and retry HOW IT WORKS 1. An author describes an app in a JSON schema and publishes it 2. They share a link or a QR code 3. You open it in BDUI Go — the screens render natively on your iPhone Every publish reaches users in seconds. Authors can switch between dev, staging and production channels and roll back to any version in one click. FEATURES • Native rendering (Compose Multiplatform) — no webview • Offline cache: previously opened apps launch even without a network • Recents list, with any app pinned as the default one that opens on start • Host allow-list: a schema declares the hosts it may call, and requests to anything else are blocked • Declarative token auth for API-backed apps • Universal Links: https://bdui.io/a/… opens directly in BDUI Go PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. The camera is used only to scan QR codes, entirely on your device.
