Detectify - Detect Hidden Devices

Find hidden cameras and devices with magnetometer scanning

Detectify - Detect Hidden Devices is a focused privacy tool that turns your device’s magnetometer into a scanner for suspicious electronics around you. By monitoring magnetic fields, it flags areas that may contain hidden gear, then prompts you to take a closer look. If it identifies a target, the app can report the precise location and even the model of the detected device, giving you clearer context on what might be present.

The core appeal is its simple approach to counter-surveillance. You can sweep a room for common hidden hardware, including spy cameras, microphones, phones, and laptops. It doubles as a bug detector, encouraging you to check corners, gaps, and hard-to-see spots where small devices could be concealed. When the sensor picks up a magnetic signature, you receive an alert so you can verify the area manually rather than relying on guesses.

Because Detectify uses your device’s built-in magnetometer, results hinge on that hardware. This keeps the experience straightforward, with no need for complex configuration, but it also means the app guides you toward investigation rather than replacing it. The combination of automated detection and human confirmation is a practical balance for everyday checks of rooms, offices, or shared spaces.

If you want a handy companion for scanning your surroundings for hidden electronics, Detectify offers a clear and purposeful toolkit. Its ability to surface potential devices, pinpoint their location, and present the model information makes it useful for quick sweeps. Keep in mind that it is designed to highlight magnetic activity and prompt further inspection, not to make final judgments on its own.
