See the hidden world around you. NearSight listens for the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signals that nearby devices are constantly broadcasting and decodes what they actually are. Earbuds, watches, fitness trackers, beacons, smart-home sensors, item trackers, and more turn from anonymous radio noise into a clear, readable list right on your iPhone. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Scan live. Watch nearby devices appear in real time, sorted by how close they are. • Know what's there. NearSight recognizes a growing catalog of device types and shows make, model, and what each signal means, not just a cryptic address. • Notice the unexpected. Surface unknown or unfamiliar devices around you and decide for yourself what belongs. • Go deeper. Open any device to inspect its raw advertisement, signal strength, and parsed technical details. OPTIONAL AI INSIGHTS Turn on AI to get plain-language explanations of what NearSight is seeing. Bring your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key, or run a compact model entirely on your device. Your choice. AI is completely optional and stays off until you enable it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Scanning happens on your iPhone. NearSight works fully offline and shows what it sees to no one but you. AI insights and anonymous telemetry are strictly opt-in and off by default. Nothing leaves your device unless you turn it on. No ads, no third-party tracking, no account required. WHAT NEARSIGHT CAN (AND CAN'T) SEE NearSight decodes the Bluetooth signals that devices broadcast but it can't see everything: • Not every device is recognized. New or niche hardware may show up as Unknown until we've researched it and added support. • Some devices are intentionally excluded. We don't surface certain safety-sensitive devices (for example personal panic buttons), because revealing someone's private safety equipment could put them at risk. However, AI Insights may identify such devices. • It only sees Bluetooth. Devices that are powered off, not currently broadcasting, or that use other radios (Wi-Fi-only cameras, wired, or cellular devices) are invisible to NearSight. NearSight is a Bluetooth explorer, not a safety or security device, bug sweeper, or hidden-camera detector. It cannot guarantee it will find every tracker, camera, or listening device near you, and not seeing something here does not mean it isn't there. If you have a real safety concern, use dedicated tools and contact local authorities. Questions, or a device you'd like us to identify? Email hello@nearsight.one.

About

Cybersecurity Incident Tracker

Features
Read full description

A local workspace for cyber incident response. Capture evidence as an investigation unfolds, see what happened over time, and prepare a clear briefing or handoff without a hosted case database. KEEP THE CASE TOGETHER Create incidents, track their status, and record IP addresses, domains, URLs, hashes, identities, processes, impact observations, and analyst notes. Keep event and discovery times attached to the evidence. SEE THE SEQUENCE Review indicators in a chronological timeline or visual map. Export the timeline as CSV when you need to work with the data elsewhere. BRIEF WITH ON-DEVICE INTELLIGENCE Turn case evidence into a structured overview of status, key findings, impact, and next actions. On supported devices, Apple Intelligence helps generate the briefing on device. When it is unavailable, IR Tracker offers a local evidence-based summary. Always review generated content against the source evidence. SHARE ON YOUR TERMS Export an incident handoff ZIP, share a timeline, or send a summary as Markdown. Import another analyst's handoff as a new case or review it for merging into an existing one. START CLEAN Your workspace begins empty. Fictional sample incidents are available only if you choose to load them, are clearly labeled, and can be removed without deleting your own cases. IR Tracker requires no account. Incident records stay in the app's local workspace unless you choose to export or share them.
