Meta has sold 7M+ Ray-Ban glasses that look identical to normal glasses but can record you silently.

NoPeek detects them using immutable BLE manufacturer company IDs - signals that cannot be randomized or hidden unlike MAC addresses.

Detects: Meta Ray-Ban, Snap Spectacles, Oakley Meta, TCL RayNeo, Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro, Pico VR and more.

No ads. No tracking. No internet permission. Fully open source. MIT license.

If a smart glass or VR headset is detected you'll get:

Tap the notification to open the app and see full details.

To stop: tap "Stop background" in the app or tap Stop in the notification.
