Beaconator vs My Beacon Tester

Beaconator is an all-in-one iBeacon broadcaster and detector for developers, testers, and educators. Whether you're building an indoor navigation app, testing proximity interactions, validating hardware, or learning about Bluetooth beacons, Beaconator makes iBeacon development simple. Configure a custom UUID, Major, and Minor, then instantly turn your iPhone into an iBeacon transmitter. On another device, detect nearby beacons, monitor signal strength, verify your configuration, and troubleshoot deployments without additional hardware. Features • Broadcast fully configurable iBeacon signals • Detect nearby iBeacons in real time • Adjustable UUID, Major, and Minor values • Generate random UUIDs for testing • Share beacon configurations with QR codes • Scan QR codes to configure another device instantly • View beacon proximity, RSSI, and estimated distance • Clean SwiftUI interface optimized for quick testing Perfect for • iOS developers • Bluetooth LE developers • Indoor positioning projects • Museum and exhibit installations • Retail and proximity marketing prototypes • Classroom demonstrations • QA and field testing • Hardware validation Typical Workflow 1. Configure a beacon on one device. 2. Display a QR code containing the beacon UUID. 3. Scan the QR code with a second device. 4. Begin ranging immediately to verify the broadcast. No typing. No extra hardware. No complicated setup. Beaconator was created by a developer who needed a simple way to test iBeacon-enabled applications in real-world environments. It has helped validate countless Bluetooth beacon deployments and continues to evolve with modern iOS and SwiftUI. All of the code is open-source and available at https://github.com/jeffreality/beaconator . Whether you're shipping a production app or experimenting with Core Location and Bluetooth LE, Beaconator gives you the tools you need to test quickly and confidently.

My Beacon Tester can test to connect and simulate to your iBeacon devices and receiver. Key Features: - Scan for Beacons to register UUID - Simulate a iBeacon device.
