Quick Scanning & Device Discovery

Deep Dive into Device Info

You can read data from characteristics, write to them in either hex or UTF-8 string format, and enable notifications so you don’t miss any updates from your connected device. -
Real-Time Logging
Everything you do in the app gets tracked in a plain-text log—seeing device discoveries, connections, data read/written, and more. Perfect for developers, or anyone who likes to know exactly what’s happening behind the scenes. Want to share your findings or bug reports? Easy, just send the log right from the app. -
Testing & Prototyping Made Simple
If you’re a developer working on new BLE gadgets, LightBlue® is a solid way to test heart rate monitors, keyfobs, sensors, or custom peripherals. Read, write, and notify support are all built-in for seamless firmware development or troubleshooting. -
Works Hand-in-Hand with BlueStacks
If you’d rather check out BLE devices right from your computer instead of your phone, LightBlue® plays nicely on your PC with BlueStacks, giving you a bigger screen for all the details. -
Respect for Your Privacy
The app only asks for location access when it’s absolutely needed by Android to run BLE scans, and that’s it. No tracking your whereabouts, just getting the technical job done.
With its clean, flexible approach, LightBlue® — Bluetooth LE gives everyone, from curious users to tech developers, a smarter way to explore the BLE world.
