Description
Discover nearby Bluetooth peripherals and inspect their services for information and characteristics.
• View information and signal strength for all peripherals and devices, updating in real time as you move around.
• Get battery level for your own Apple devices (signed into the same primary iCloud account) — no need to install the app on all your devices.
• See model identification broadcast by devices around you, mapping the Apple device identifier to the marketing name.
• Extract software and firmware version strings from devices broadcasting this information.
• Read any characteristic's value, even for services not well known and are custom to the device being interrogated.
• Write characteristic values back to the peripheral as string, numeric or hex (pro).
• See a history of the value of a characteristic since the session started, timestamped to when the value changed (pro).
• Log found peripherals, services, characteristics and values, and export a .log file of timestamped events for your analysis (pro).
• Shortcuts integration with actions for scanning and interrogation, enumerating services and characteristics, and reading values (pro).

What’s New
Version 1.6.1
Features:
• A new Hex option in the Write Value shortcut action lets you write a hex value to a characteristic from the Shortcuts app.
• Manually reload a characteristic value with the reload button above the characteristic value history.
• 5 battery icons are now used for more granularity in battery level.
Fixes:
• Make sure the peripheral is in the expected state before trying to write to a characteristic of it.
• Improvements to layout and legibility of various parts of the app for users with an accessibility font size set.
• Fix a missing animation when navigating to a peripheral on a compact display and fix navigating between services and characteristics in split view.
Ratings and Reviews
Mac version is unstable
Every click refreshes the window and focus lost. Service scan probably crashes, becuase connection always lost after that.
