Project Bluetooth

Strictly for the curious, Project Bluetooth will record data including Bluetooth address, time, and location for all Bluetooth devices encountered throughout your day.

You can then view these encounters and see where you've encountered different people or devices throughout your travels.

It's up to you how you decide to use it!

How to use:

When a Bluetooth device is detected, Project Bluetooth will make an entry whether the application is open or closed so just sit back and have a look at your encounters whenever you feel like.

How it works:

Any devices with their Bluetooth adapters discovering will notify any listening devices approximately every 12 seconds with their name and Bluetooth address. Project Bluetooth simply collects these and adds some additional information about when and where the encounter occurred.
