Peace of mind before you settle in

You have five minutes in a new room and a nagging question. Findy turns that uncertainty into a calm, methodical check — so you can unpack and relax.

Real methods, not theatre

Camera-lens reflection, infrared viewing, network scanning, Bluetooth and magnetic checks — each one does something a phone can genuinely do. No invented "AI room scan", no fake radar.

Ready in seconds

Open the app, pick a check, and go. No setup, no account, nothing to configure — it is built for the moment you walk into an unfamiliar room.

Private by design

No sign-up, no analytics, no tracking. Your scans stay on your device. A privacy tool that quietly respects your privacy is the only kind worth trusting.

Five ways to inspect a room

Findy combines several inspection techniques, because each one is suited to spotting something different.

Findy shows you the reason behind every result, so what you find is something you can actually act on.

How an inspection goes

Three steps. The app assists the middle one; your eyes do the rest.

1

Follow the checklist

Work through the room in order — the objects with power and a sightline first.

2

Run the relevant checks

Camera, network, Bluetooth or magnetic — whichever fits the object in front of you.

3

Inspect the object

Findy points you at what to look at. The judgement — and a closer look — stay with you.

Where people reach for Findy

Any time you are somewhere unfamiliar and want to look before you relax.

Hotels & motels

A quick sweep of the room you have just checked into — the alarm clock facing the bed, the smoke detector, the TV — before you unpack.

Short-term rentals

You are usually on the host's own network, so the device scan has the most to work with here. Look before you settle in for the week.

Changing rooms & fittings

The camera checks travel in your pocket — a discreet look at mirrors, vents and fittings wherever you need a moment of privacy.

Your own home

See what is actually on your Wi-Fi, and get an alert when an unfamiliar device joins a network you have scanned before.

Offices & meeting rooms

A calm pre-meeting check of an unfamiliar room, using the checks you are authorised to run on a network you are allowed to use.

Travelling light

No extra gadget to pack. The tools that would otherwise need dedicated hardware live in the phone already in your hand.

Results you can interpret

Findy tells you what it actually observed and why something was flagged, so you can decide what to do next.

What a useful result looks like

Shows camera-related indicators

Findy shows the reason it marked the device:

  • "Name matches <keyword>" — the device name contains a camera-related term
  • "Streaming/surveillance service" — it advertises a video service on the network
  • An open port associated with cameras, or a first appearance since your last scan

One reason is shown, not a score. How to read a result.

The reason behind every result

Findy shows you the evidence it observed — the matching name, the open port, the service a device advertises — so you can see exactly what prompted each result and stay in control of the conclusion.

A calm check in about a minute

You do not need to be an expert. A first pass takes roughly the time it takes to set your bag down.

Glance through the lens

Point the camera at the smoke detector, the clock and the mirror. A small bright reflection is your cue to take a closer look.

See what's on the Wi-Fi

One tap lists the devices on the network you have joined and marks any that show camera-related indicators, with the reason.

Sweep a suspect object

Move the phone across anything that looks out of place and watch the magnetic reading rise as it passes over hidden electronics.

Then unpack, and enjoy the room.
