Everything You Need to Track It Down
Brand apps like Find My only cover their own devices. EarBuddy works with the Bluetooth signal itself.
Scans Any Bluetooth Device
AirPods, Galaxy Buds, Sony, Beats, Fitbit, Garmin and more. EarBuddy isn't limited to one brand's ecosystem.
Distance & Signal Strength
The signal radar fills up and turns green as you get closer, with an approximate distance so you know when you're warm.
Compass Guidance
When the signal is steady, switch to the compass and follow the arrow toward your lost device.
Last Known Location
See on a map where your device was last seen and how long ago, so you know where to start looking.
Uncover Hidden Devices
Some earbuds don't broadcast a name. Show unnamed devices and use the signal to work out which one is yours.
Save Your Devices
Name and save your earbuds, headphones and watches so they sit at the top of the list the next time something goes missing.
See EarBuddy in Action
Scan, follow the signal, and check the map when the trail goes cold.
How EarBuddy Works
Three simple steps to find your lost device.
Open & Scan
Launch EarBuddy and tap Start Scanning. The app immediately begins detecting all Bluetooth Low Energy signals nearby.
Walk & Track
Walk around the area where you lost your device. The signal strength meter increases as you get closer.
Find & Recover
When the signal peaks, your device is within feet. Search the immediate area and recover your earbuds.

What Did You Lose?
Find step-by-step guides for your specific device.
Find My Earbuds
True wireless earbuds from Apple, Samsung, Sony, and more. These small devices are the easiest to lose and the hardest to find without a Bluetooth scanner.
🎧Find My Headphones
Over-ear and on-ear wireless headphones. While larger than earbuds, they still go missing — especially in bags, offices, and rideshares.
⌚Find My Smartwatches & Wearables
Bluetooth-enabled smartwatches, fitness trackers, and wearable bands from Apple, Garmin, Fitbit, and more. These wearables broadcast BLE signals that EarBuddy can detect even when not on your wrist.
📍Find My Trackers & Accessories
Bluetooth tracking tags, smart rings, and accessories like Apple Pencil and SmartTag. These small BLE devices are easy to misplace — EarBuddy detects their signal when native tools fall short.
