Lost your earbuds, headphones, watch, fitness band, tracker, or speaker? Open the app, scan nearby Bluetooth and BLE devices, choose the device you want to find, and follow the HotCold signal indicator. When the Bluetooth signal gets stronger, you are likely getting closer. When it gets weaker, move around and try another direction.

HotCold can help find many nearby Bluetooth devices when they are powered on and broadcasting — AirPods, Galaxy Buds, Beats, Bose, JBL, Sony headphones, Fitbit bands, Garmin watches, Galaxy Watch devices, Amazfit, Mi Band, Xiaomi Band, Bluetooth speakers, phones, tablets, Tile, Chipolo, SmartTag, possible AirTags, Find My-compatible accessories, tracker tags, and other Bluetooth accessories.

Use HotCold as a Bluetooth finder, BLE scanner, earbuds finder, headphones finder, smartwatch finder, fitness band finder, tracker scanner, and signal-strength finder for nearby devices.

IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS

Bluetooth Finder: HotCold does not show an exact GPS location. It is a nearby Bluetooth signal finder, not a GPS tracker.

The app can only detect a device when it is nearby, powered on, has battery, and is broadcasting Bluetooth or BLE signals.

Bluetooth signal strength is approximate. Walls, furniture, bags, pockets, people, interference, and phone orientation can affect the signal.

Tracker badges are helpful clues, not proof of a specific brand or tracker type. Some Apple Find My-compatible devices and other Bluetooth accessories can look similar during scanning.
