🐾 PING PANTHER

Hears what your eyes can't.

Ping Panther is the device finder that hears everything and tells nobody. The big brands only find their own tags, and they find them through accounts and clouds that watch you back — Ping Panther listens for any Bluetooth device that pings, AirTag, SmartTag, Tile, earbuds, watch or car kit, walks you in with its sonar Squeeze, stands guard against trackers following you, and keeps every pin, photo and sighting on your phone and nowhere else: no account, no server, no crowd — it works in airplane mode, and being online only adds maps. Bands, not fake feet; evidence, not verdicts; your things, your phone, your business.

Version 1.4.0 · Android 8.0+ · 1.05 MB · Native Kotlin — all four designs in one: the Panther Wall home, map-first Atlas, device cards, the BandDial hunt takeover, Topo Explorer, Safe Places — and a real launcher icon.

ON BOARD

• The Wall (new) — the best 4 pages live on one screen: Map, Hunt, Tags, Guard, each tile showing real live data. Tap to expand. The rest ride the bottom dock — page buttons pinned at the bottom of every screen.
• Real BLE scan — hears the pings devices already broadcast, strongest first, as device cards with human last-heard times ("just now", "Yesterday 3:12 PM").
• The Squeeze + BandDial (new) — focus one device and the hunt takes the screen over: a 270° signal dial, band-state tints, and at POUNCE the biggest MARK FOUND button in the app. Still bands, never fake feet.
• Map-first Atlas (new) — big layer chips (Grid / Street / Topo / Satellite), a device card rail under the map, tap-a-pin cards with FIND and NAVIGATE, and TOPO EXPLORER doors to Street View & 3D Earth.
• Safe Places (new) — mark home or the truck and left-behind alerts stay silent there; when you do part from a watched thing, its card remembers where, when, and the reunion.
• Tracker Guard — evidence-based following test with real place-clustering math.
• Sonar view — radar-style rings by signal strength (angles are display only — strength, not direction).
• Offline grid map + online layers — the app-drawn grid always works; Street / Topo / Satellite tiles join when you're online, pins floating on them, viewed areas cached for offline.

INSTALL

• Tap the download, open the APK, allow "install unknown apps" for your browser when Android asks.
• Nothing is asked at first launch — permissions come with plain reasons when you tap Start Scan.
• Everything stays on your phone. No account, no server, no uploads.

Honesty note (v1.4.0): the whole interface is new this version — the Wall, the bottom dock, cards, the BandDial — and it is built and compile-verified, with the new display logic unit-tested (23/23), but it has not yet been run on a phone. The scanning core underneath is unchanged from 1.3.0 and has run on the owner's phone and heard real devices (first live scan, 2026-11-10: strongest a named device at −65 dBm, Near band); your saved PingTags from earlier versions carry over. The poster art up top is artwork — inside the app it appears only as a crop with its painted sample text removed, so art is never mistaken for a reading. The full device test matrix is still pending, and anything the app can't do is listed in its About, not hidden.
