About the App

LightBlue® — Bluetooth LE is your go-to tool when you want to connect with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices around you, whether you’re tinkering, testing, or just curious. Made by Punch Through Design, this handy app puts you in control, letting you scan, connect, and even poke around inside the gadgets that use BLE—think fitness trackers, smart sensors, or custom hardware. Whether you want to track down a missing device or experiment with your own projects, LightBlue® makes things straightforward and surprisingly fun.

App Features

• Quick Scanning & Device Discovery
  See all nearby BLE devices with a couple of taps. Scanning’s fast, and you get an instant list with names, MAC addresses, and real-time signal strength (RSSI)—which is super useful if you’re, say, hunting for your lost fitness band in the couch cushions.

• Deep Dive into Device Info
  Curious about what your BLE gadget can actually do? Browse all its services and characteristics without needing to be a programming whiz. 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.

Switch to BlueStacks and make the most of your apps on your PC or Mac.
