About

Bluetooth Finder Quick

Features
Read full description

Bluetooth Finder Quick helps you scan for nearby Bluetooth Low Energy devices that are actively advertising. Choose a detected device and watch its changing relative signal strength as a clue while you search. Save a favorite for later and see when the same iOS device identifier was last detected. Features: - User-initiated foreground BLE scanning - Relative signal value and recent trend - Favorites and last-seen information stored on your iPhone - Clear states for signal loss, Bluetooth access, and Bluetooth availability - English and Japanese support Important limitations: Not every Bluetooth device advertises in a discoverable way. Signal strength changes with obstacles, orientation, interference, and device transmit power. It does not provide exact distance or direction. The app does not pair with devices or scan in the background. No account, usage analytics, advertising, or cloud sync is included. Scan information is not sent off your device. Crash reports are sent through Firebase Crashlytics to fix bugs, and you can turn this off in Settings.

About

My Network Scanner (MyNeS)

Features
Read full description

MyNeS (My Network Scanner) turns your phone into a full home-network scanner. No server, no Docker, no pairing, no account โ€” the scanning engine runs entirely on your device. Open the app on your Wi-Fi and MyNeS finds the devices around you and tells you what they are: manufacturer, model, type and operating system, pieced together from IP, MAC address, vendor (OUI), hostnames and the services each device advertises. WHAT YOU GET โ€ข Fast discovery โ€” a ping/TCP sweep plus mDNS/Bonjour, SSDP/UPnP and optional Bluetooth LE finds Wi-Fi and nearby Bluetooth devices. โ€ข Real identification โ€” vendor from the MAC address, device type and OS from the services a device exposes. Rename devices and add your own notes. โ€ข Identify with AI (optional) โ€” tap to send a device's technical facts to our hosted service for a manufacturer/model/type guess when the offline heuristics aren't sure. โ€ข Security view โ€” flags open ports, default-credential risks and known-CVE fingerprints on the gear you own, with links to the advisories. โ€ข Alerts & history โ€” see what joined or left your network over time, and get a notification when something new appears (optional background scanning). โ€ข Home Assistant (optional) โ€” connect your own instance to cross-check its device list against a live scan. โ€ข Private by design โ€” no accounts, no analytics, no ads, no trackers. Your scan results and settings stay on your device. PERMISSIONS โ€ข Local Network โ€” to discover devices on your Wi-Fi (this is the scan). โ€ข Bluetooth โ€” only if you turn on Bluetooth LE discovery. โ€ข Notifications โ€” only if you enable background scan alerts. MyNeS does not use your location. It is the mobile edition of the open-source My Network Scanner (MyNeS) project.
