Description

LightBlue® by Punch Through®

Your ultimate BLE debugging and development toolkit. Trusted by BLE developers and engineers since 2012 to scan, inspect, and troubleshoot Bluetooth Low Energy devices with precision.

Scan For Peripherals

Discover, connect, and interact with nearby BLE devices. Quickly view advertising peripherals, sort by signal strength (RSSI), and connect with a single tap. Once connected, explore the device's advertisement data, services, and characteristics.

Isolate SDK Issues

Simplify debugging by pinpointing issues in your BLE SDKs. LightBlue lets you isolate your app's business logic and focus on core tasks like connecting, scanning, reading, writing, and receiving notifications, built on years of BLE development experience and platform best practices.

Mimic Your Devices

Prototype your application by creating virtual BLE peripherals. Build a profile from scratch or clone an advertising peripheral to mimic your product's functionality, even before your own firmware is ready.

Key features:

Scan and discover BLE peripherals nearby

Browse services and characteristics in detail

Read, write, and subscribe to notifications and indications

Send data from notifications to AWS IoT or Adafruit IO via Cloud Connect

Write to characteristics in Hex, Octal, Binary, Decimal, or ASCII

Clone peripheral profiles or build your own from scratch

Advertise as a custom peripheral to simulate your device

Thoroughly log and share BLE events

Available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Android

LightBlue started in 2012 as an internal tool. Punch Through built it to test and debug BLE devices while working on client projects. It worked well, so we shared it with the community. We've kept it free ever since. Today, LightBlue is used by solo developers and engineering teams alike, including inside some of the world's most respected tech and device companies.
