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.

How would this app be an improvement or any better? Sometimes I feel people clone app repos, tweak 1 or 2 things and call it a whole new app.
If it ran in the background and notified me whenever one was detected it would be great.
Edit: looks like it does
Yes it does! 🎉 Here’s how it works:
Tap “Run in background” button in the app. You’ll see a persistent notification saying “VR Shield — Background Scan”.
If a smart glass or VR headset is detected you’ll get:
- Vibration alert
- Sound alarm
- Push notification with vendor name and distance
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.

I’d love this on fdroid
Finally, the doofus locator
Sweet. A question though: Why on Microsoft GitHub and not on Codeberg?
I tried nearbyglasses but it doesn’t stay running. I’ll give nopeek a go and see if it’s any better.
But I have my BT turned off when I’m not using it…
But if you use this app, you would be using BT, so turn it on…
Anyone having trouble downloading the APK from the Git page? Tried a couple of browsers.
This is the link text:
https://github.com/getnopeek/nopeek-android
Keeps circling back to the same page.
There doesn’t appear to be a release apk available for download, at least at the time I checked. Looks like you need to clone and build it from the source yourself. Not sure why there is a “Download APK” at the top.
OK thanks for that. The build is beyond my skills to I’ll wait a while and keep an eye on it in case it becomes available.
