Beaconator vs Radar

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.

Lost your earbuds or headphones? Radar makes finding them easy. Scan for nearby Bluetooth devices and see how close they are. Kinda like hot and cold game. Walk toward the signal until you're right on top of it. • Scan for all nearby Bluetooth devices: earbuds, headphones, speakers, watches, trackers, tags, and more • Shows every device in range in seconds • Live proximity radar that gets stronger as you close in • No account, no sign-up, no setup Radar also helps you find nearby devices you didn't know were there. Unknown trackers show up in the scan like everything else. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No location access, Radar uses Bluetooth only, no GPS ever • No account, no sign-up, no personal data collected • Nothing leaves your device RADAR PRO The first scan is free. Additional scans require Radar Pro Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://findmybluetooth.com/privacy.html
