MiBeacon vs BLE Beacon Toolkit

Now use your iOS device as a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon! MiBeacon allows you to enter your desired UUID, Major, and Minor numbers on the settings screen. That's all there is to it! Also includes convenient on/off switch to enable or disable your beacon on the fly. Enjoy! NOTE: This app does NOT run in the background. In order for your beacon to continually transmit, you need to keep it in the foreground. If you want it to transmit indefinitely, simply place it in the foreground (i.e. run it), and make sure that when it's running you have previously disabled auto-lock (in iPhone settings under 'general') so the phone never goes to sleep. Then it will run forever as a beacon!

Scan nearby Bluetooth Low Energy devices, inspect their signals, and test iBeacon identities with your iPhone or iPad. Beacon Tool helps developers, technicians, and makers explore BLE devices and troubleshoot compatible Bluetooth projects. BLUETOOTH LOW ENERGY SCANNER • Discover nearby devices broadcasting BLE advertisements. • Inspect advertised names, service information, and raw data. • Search devices and filter for favorites, connectable devices, or iBeacon advertisements. • Save custom names and notes to recognize devices later. LIVE SIGNAL FINDER • Follow a selected device’s signal strength as you move. • View RSSI history and signal trends. • Use changing signal levels to help locate a nearby advertising device. iBEACON SIMULATOR AND MONITORING • Create test identities with UUID, Major, and Minor values. • Start and stop iBeacon advertising. • Monitor selected identities and view matching beacon signals. ADVANCED TOOLS WITH BEACONTOOLS PRO • Explore GATT services and characteristics on compatible, connectable devices. • Read supported values, write to writable characteristics, and subscribe to notifications. • Use a terminal with compatible Nordic UART peripherals. • Save and manually replay reusable GATT write commands. • Record scan and GATT sessions, then export CSV, JSON, or text reports. • Simulate custom GATT peripherals for testing with a second device. • Check expected iBeacon identities during a deployment inspection and export CSV or JSON reports. Pro unlocks advanced tools and removes ads through a one-time lifetime purchase. No subscription. SAVE AND REUSE YOUR SETUP Keep favorite devices, names, and notes organized. Optionally sync saved device names and notes through iCloud. Import and export supported beacon definitions and testing configurations. Bluetooth support depends on the peripheral and its available services. Scanning and simulation work in the foreground. Signal strength and distance readings are estimates. Explore your BLE devices and build your next Bluetooth test with Beacon Tool. — WHO IT'S FOR — • iOS developers integrating Core Location / Core Bluetooth • IoT and hardware engineers commissioning beacon fleets • Retail, museum, and venue teams testing proximity experiences • QA engineers validating BLE-based features • Hobbyists exploring the world of Bluetooth Low Energy Beacon Multi-Tool is designed to feel fast, focused, and at home on iOS. No bloat, no servers, no accounts — just the BLE tools you actually need.
