Scan your car, room or bag, review repeated detections and mark familiar accessories as known.

A tracker detector for everyday checks
Use a Bluetooth scan before a trip, after traveling or when you want to check your belongings. TrackGuard looks for nearby Bluetooth Low Energy signals and highlights devices that may be trackers. A detected signal alone does not mean someone is tracking you.

Scan nearby Bluetooth devices
The Bluetooth scanner helps you review nearby devices and possible trackers. Check an unfamiliar signal alongside saved observations rather than treating every nearby accessory as a threat. Bluetooth must be available, and scanning depends on the permissions required by your Android version.

Review scan history and repeat detections
Keep scan history on your phone and compare devices seen during previous scans. Review repeat detections with their saved context, then mark familiar accessories as known. This helps you use the tracker scanner to focus on devices you do not recognize.

Investigate with Premium
Premium adds more tools to the Bluetooth tracker detector:
- Additional details and evidence for possible trackers
- Live Locate guidance using changes in Bluetooth signal strength
- Background scan alerts when monitoring is enabled
- Advanced scan settings

Live Locate helps you investigate a nearby Bluetooth device by following signal strength. It does not provide an exact direction or distance. Background alerts depend on Android permissions, Bluetooth availability and battery settings; they are not guaranteed continuous protection.

Premium features require a subscription. Available plans, prices and renewal terms are shown before purchase.

Understand what a tracker scanner can detect
TrackGuard scans Bluetooth Low Energy signals within range. The Bluetooth tracker detector cannot identify every hidden tracker, prove intent or guarantee that an area is free of trackers. Detection depends on device behavior, signal conditions and permissions. It is not designed to find GPS-only devices, hidden cameras or phone spyware.

Scan history and privacy
Scan history is stored on your phone. The app also uses services for analytics, diagnostics and subscription management. See the Privacy Policy for data-handling information.
