Lost your earbuds, a tracker or a smart ring? Bluetooth Locator hears it, tells you how far away it is, and walks you to it. No account. No sign-up. No settings to get through first. Nothing leaves your iPhone. Open it, start the scan, tap the thing you're looking for. Made for the moment you've already lost something: it works before it asks you for anything. WHAT YOU GET β€’ Radar: a ring shows how far away it is, and warmer / colder tells you if you're getting closer β€’ Find on map: walk a little, a heat map shows where it probably is and an arrow points the way β€’ Search by ear: pings get faster and higher as you close in, no need to watch the screen β€’ Make it beep: ring key finders, tags and bands that support it, or sound your connected headphones β€’ Never lose it twice: save a device, see where it was last heard, get walking directions back β€’ Knows what it hears: earbuds, speakers, watches, bands, tags, trackers and smart rings, with maker and model when known β€’ Smart rings done right: distance tuned for Oura, Ultrahuman, RingConn, Galaxy Ring and others, which the usual formula puts far too far away β€’ Your things first: nearby phones and computers are hidden β€’ AirPods, AirTags and other Find My devices show up too, with a shortcut to Find My to ring them PRIVATE BY DESIGN No analytics, no trackers, no ads. What the app hears stays on this iPhone. Location and Motion are asked for only when a search needs them. FREE AND PAID Scanning, the list, distance with warmer / colder, the radar, the tips and the headphone alarm are free. The map is free to try. One purchase, no subscription, unlocks it for good, plus the walking search, saved devices, Ring, pings and accent colors. GOOD TO KNOW A device can be found only while it's on and advertising; earbuds usually advertise out of the case or with the lid open. Bluetooth distance is an estimate, about Β±30 %: walls, bodies and metal weaken the signal. A smart ring is heard only within a few meters. Open it, start the scan, and go get your things back.
