Spectre: Smart Glasses Scanner

Is someone wearing a camera right now? Smart glasses can film you without warning. Spectre tells you the moment they walk into the room — silently, privately, on-device.

Using Bluetooth Low Energy, Spectre passively detects 11 brands of camera-enabled eyewear in real time. No account. No network. No data ever leaves your phone.

DETECT BEFORE YOU'RE RECORDED Spectre listens for the Bluetooth signals that smart glasses broadcast constantly. When a known device appears, you see the brand, estimated distance, signal strength, and a threat level based on proximity — with an instant alert so you're never caught off guard.

No pairing. No connection. Pure passive detection.

• Ray-Ban Meta
• Snap Spectacles

WHO IT'S FOR Anyone who values their privacy. In a meeting. At a café. In a changing room. Walking down the street. Spectre gives you awareness of recording devices nearby — before you become part of someone's livestream.

Spectre requires Bluetooth access to function. Location access is optional and only used to tag where detections occur. The app never connects to detected devices.
