Hardware Debug Browser Companion

WebBluetooth/WebNFC debugging tool for hardware devs, no spare Android needed

Problem

When building NFC/BLE hardware products, iOS browsers lack WebBluetooth and WebNFC support. Developers must rely on native apps or a spare Android phone to test new features, which is slow and breaks flow. Existing tools are scattered, with no ready-to-use debug entry point.

Solution

An iOS browser (or standalone app) that directly exposes standard WebBluetooth/WebNFC JavaScript interfaces, enabling any existing web app to run on it. Developers can quickly validate hardware interaction logic on iPhone, inspect broadcast packets and NFC read/write results in real time, and save common debug scripts.

Users

IoT/hardware indie developers, embedded engineers, and mobile integration testers in hardware startups

MVP

WebKit-based browser shell supporting WebBluetooth/WebNFC; simple device scan and connect UI; built-in JS console for standard Web API calls; save frequently used code snippets; one-click export of debug logs

Revenue

One-time purchase (unlock pro features like log export, script library sync) or freemium with subscription for advanced debug toolkit

Why now

As Web Bluetooth/NFC becomes common for IoT device provisioning, the iOS ecosystem gap is more obvious, and indie developers can fill it by wrapping WebKit—lightweight stack, no licenses required
