Private device discovery

Know what’s
around you.

There’s usually more smart devices around you than you think: a neighbour’s speaker, a ring, a Wi-Fi plug you forgot about, or a phone that isn’t yours sitting on your Wi-Fi.

LanternScan finds BLE and Wi-Fi devices near you and tells you what it thinks they are. For each device you get a best guess at the make and model, plus the evidence behind that guess so you can decide for yourself whether it makes sense. Anything you recognise, mark as familiar. Anything you don’t, flag it and monitor closely.

Clear signals, less guesswork

See the devices hiding in plain sight.

Distance from the source

See roughly how far away a device is, based on its signal (BLE only).

Advanced sensing

Opt in to FingerBank for sharper identification when you want it.

Private by default

Your surroundings are not our business.

LanternScan has no account, no ads, and no configured analytics or crash-reporting provider. Online identification remains off until you explicitly enable it.
