Find the Bluetooth devices that matter to you with a clear, friendly signal guide. Found helps you scan for nearby Bluetooth accessories, choose the device you are looking for, and follow changes in signal strength as you move. Use it for earbuds, headphones, speakers, watches, and other Bluetooth devices that are powered on and broadcasting nearby. FIND WHAT IS NEARBY • See nearby Bluetooth devices in one easy-to-read list • Refresh the scan when you move to a new room or area • Open a device to review its live signal information FOLLOW THE SIGNAL • Choose a device and walk around slowly • Use warmer and colder guidance as the signal changes • Review signal strength, estimated proximity, and reading confidence GET MORE WITH FOUND PRO • View signal charts and cross-session device history • Get sound and haptic alerts when a selected device enters the very-close signal range • Review recurrence and signal-stability clues for devices that keep returning nearby • Remove ads while Pro access is active Basic scanning and the signal finder remain available without a purchase. New users can explore Pro tools during welcome access. Found Pro is available as a weekly auto-renewable subscription or a one-time lifetime unlock. The App Store shows the exact local price and purchase terms before confirmation. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple Account settings and restore eligible purchases from the Pro screen. GOOD TO KNOW Bluetooth signal readings are estimates, not GPS locations. Walls, pockets, interference, device hardware, and movement can change a reading. A device must be powered on, within Bluetooth range, and broadcasting to appear. Security results are automated clues based on nearby signal patterns; they cannot identify an owner, confirm that a device is a tracker, or guarantee personal safety. Bluetooth access is requested when you choose to start scanning.
