Near Glasses

Near is a privacy-awareness app that helps you stay informed about your surroundings in an era of discreet Wearable cameras.

As Smart Glasses capable of recording video, audio, and spatial data become more popular devices like Ray-Ban Meta, Apple Vision Pro, Snapchat Spectacles and others, Near gives you a technical tool to detect them. It works by reading the wireless advertising signals that every Smart Glasses passively broadcasts, identifying them by their manufacturer signatures, and alerting you when a known device gets too close.

Features Modern radar visualisation for nearby devices Fast and responsive scanning Background Radar Mode for continuous discovery* Device history to revisit previously detected devices Clear signal strength indicators to estimate proximity Privacy-first design your data stays on your device

Nearby is built around one simple philosophy: powerful tools should feel effortless. Instead of overwhelming you with technical information, it presents what matters in a clean, thoughtful experience.
