Socket Buddy helps travelers check plug types, voltage, and frequency in 200+ countries—and find out whether their own devices are safe to use. Scan a power label, build a trip with the devices you are packing, and get a clear answer: compatible, adapter needed, or converter required. It works offline, with Apple Watch, widgets, and Siri.
Hey Product Hunt! I’m Antonino, the maker of Socket Buddy.
I built it because “bring an adapter” is incomplete travel advice. An adapter changes the plug shape, but it does not make a device safe at a different voltage.
Socket Buddy helps travelers check plug types, voltage, and frequency for 200+ countries, then answers the question that matters: can I safely use this device there?
You can:
Scan a charger or device label with your iPhone
Get a clear result: compatible, adapter needed, or converter required
Build a trip and check every device you are packing
Browse country details offline
Keep key information on Apple Watch and home-screen widgets
The free version includes all country and plug information, compatibility guidance, three saved countries, and one trip. Premium is a one-time $4.99 purchase—no subscription and no ads.
I’d love feedback on two things: is the safety verdict immediately clear, and what travel-device situation should Socket Buddy support next?
Thanks for checking it out—I’ll be here to answer every question.
