Near Glasses
Look for Smart Glasses nearby
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
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.
