Spectre: Smart Glasses Scanner
Spot Hidden Recording Eyewear
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: tap a device to open a Find My-style radar and walk right to it. Plus a "new devices only" alert mode so familiar gear stays silent.
Smart glasses are everywhere — and many can record video without you knowing. Spectre uses Bluetooth Low Energy to detect smart glasses around you in real time, so you're never caught off guard.
No account. No tracking. No network. Your data never leaves your device.
HOW IT WORKS
Spectre passively listens for Bluetooth signals broadcast by smart glasses. When it detects a known device, it shows the brand, estimated distance, signal strength, and a threat level based on proximity. You get notified instantly — on iPhone, on Apple Watch, and on your Lock Screen.
No pairing. No connection to the device. Pure detection.
