AntiLens: Smart Glasses Alarm

Camera glasses announce themselves over Bluetooth. AntiLens listens and tells you. One purchase, no subscription, no account, nothing leaves your iPhone.

Know when smart glasses are broadcasting near you.

AntiLens listens for the Bluetooth signals that camera glasses send out and tells you when one turns up nearby. No account, no uploads, nothing ever leaves your iPhone.

More and more frames look completely ordinary and carry a camera anyway. AntiLens gives you something you did not have before: a way to notice.

WHAT IT DOES

• A live signal field where every match appears as it is picked up, with rough proximity and a confidence rating
• Alerts the moment a likely device starts broadcasting, including while the app is closed
• A sighting history, so you can see which signals keep coming back
• A reason for every match, so you can judge it for yourself instead of trusting a verdict
• Register your own frames once and they never alert you again
• Snooze alerts for one hour or eight, straight from the notification
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with status and a pause button
• A Control Center toggle you can assign to the Action button
• Dark, light or automatic appearance

WHAT IT PICKS UP

Frames from Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta, Snap Spectacles, Amazon Echo Frames, Vuzix, Xreal, Rokid, RayNeo, Viture and Even Realities, plus anything else broadcasting a recognised manufacturer signature.

WHAT IT CANNOT DO

Being straight with you matters more here than a longer feature list.

• It cannot tell whether a camera is recording. No app can.
• It cannot identify a person. Bluetooth addresses rotate for exactly that reason.
• Coverage is opportunistic. Glasses broadcast mainly when switched on, when pairing, and when taken out of their case. A pair already connected and in use often stays quiet.

AntiLens shows confidence rather than certainty, because certainty is not what the signal supports.

PRIVACY

• No account, no sign-in, no email address
• No camera, microphone or location permission
• Nothing is uploaded, nothing is tracked, nothing is sold
• Sightings stay on your device and are removed after 30 days
• No advertising, no subscription, no analytics

One purchase. That is the entire business model.

Requires iOS 18 and Bluetooth. Works on iPhone and iPad.
