## What is ZuckOff?

Camera glasses announce themselves over Bluetooth. ZuckOff listens for those announcements and tells you when a lens is in the room.

■ What it spots

• Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta, by the manufacturer signature in their Bluetooth advertisement
• Snap Spectacles
• Display glasses and headsets, including Quest and Vision Pro, are named in the log but never flagged: a headset is a camera you can see coming
• The full list, and how each one is recognised, is in the app

■ The evidence, shown

• Every flag lists what matched, whether that was a manufacturer ID, a service UUID or an advertised name
• Confidence is rated possible, likely or strong, and the app says which
• You can disagree with it, because the reasoning is never hidden

■ Every device, logged

• Sightings keeps a record of all Bluetooth devices heard nearby, glasses or not
• A signal timeline for each device
• Own a pair yourself? Mark them once and they stop raising alerts

■ How close, not which way

• Signal strength gives a rough distance and no direction at all
• ZuckOff shows proximity bands rather than an arrow, because an arrow would be invented

■ What it cannot do

• Glasses advertise loudest while powering on, pairing, or leaving the case. Once paired to their owner's phone they can go quiet, so silence here does not mean nobody is recording
• A detection does not mean anyone is recording either. ZuckOff sees that a device is nearby and nothing about what its owner is doing with it

■ Your data stays on your phone

• No account, no analytics
• The log never leaves unless you export it yourself, or choose to send a hardware report for a device ZuckOff does not recognise, so new glasses can be added later
• A report shows you exactly what it contains before anything is sent

■ ZuckOff Pro

Scanning is free and always will be. Pro is for the times you are not looking at the screen: background monitoring, alerts, the Live Activity, the Home Screen widget, sighting history beyond 24 hours, and CSV export.

$9.99 per year, with the first week free. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and renewals are managed in Settings on your device.

A lifetime option is also available for $24.99: one payment, no subscription, Family Sharing on.

### 5/5 — Awareness is power

*2026-09-10*

I think this is a great app and glad something like this finally exists

### 5/5 — Keep this going

*2026-08-25*

Starting to use this, glad to see this app.  This is a must. Excited to see this evolve.   Uck the Zuck.

### 5/5 — Die App funktioniert wirklich gut!

*2026-08-24*

Ich war in einer Stadt und sie hat erkannt, dass jemand diese meta Brille getragen hat

### 3/5 — Good idea but poor detection

*2026-08-23*

It only detect when the glasses are turned on. If you are already wearing it, it can’t detect anything

**Developer response:** Hey Bob,
Thanks for your review. I tested the app on glasses that are turned on and both paired with its owner phone. 

Of course if glasses are OFF, no app will be able to detect these, nor they are any threat towards ones privacy.

Can you please elaborate more on the scenario where you were unable to detect a pair?

## Frequently asked questions about ZuckOff

### What devices can Zuckoff detect?

Zuckoff can detect specific camera glasses like Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta, as well as Snap Spectacles. It also identifies display glasses and headsets like Quest and Vision Pro by their Bluetooth advertisements.

### How does Zuckoff determine proximity?

Zuckoff uses signal strength from Bluetooth announcements to provide a rough estimate of distance. It displays proximity bands rather than directional arrows, as directional information is not available.

### Does Zuckoff have ads?

Zuckoff does not contain advertisements. The core scanning functionality is free, with an optional subscription for advanced features.

### What are the limitations of Zuckoff?

Zuckoff cannot detect if a device is actively recording, only its presence nearby. Devices can also go quiet after pairing, meaning silence does not guarantee no recording is occurring.

### How is my data handled by Zuckoff?

Your data stays on your phone. Zuckoff has no account system, servers, or analytics, and your sighting logs are not shared unless you choose to export them.

### What features are included in Zuckoff Pro?

Zuckoff Pro offers background monitoring, alerts, Live Activity, a Home Screen widget, extended sighting history beyond 24 hours, and CSV export for users who are not actively looking at the screen.

### How much does Zuckoff Pro cost and how do I subscribe?

Zuckoff Pro costs $9.99 per year and includes a 7-day free trial. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and can be managed in your device's Settings.

### Is Zuckoff available on Android?

Based on the provided data, Zuckoff is currently supported on iPhones. Information regarding Android availability is not specified.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-13

• Paragraphs under every control moved into "How detection works" in Settings
• Translation improvements. Onboarding is now following your device language.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-12

• You can now report a device ZuckOff got wrong, or one it never picks up at all, from the device sheet or from Supported Devices. The sheet lists everything it would send before you decide, and nothing goes out until you tap Send
• Reports are what new detection rules get built from. A rule only ships once someone has captured the real hardware

### 1.0.7 — 2026-09-03

• You can now buy Zuckoff Pro once instead of subscribing: $24.99, one payment, and it does not renew. Family Sharing is on, so up to five other people in your family get it too
• The yearly plan has not changed: $9.99 a year with the first week free, if you would rather pay that way
• Small fixes to how the paywall behaves when the App Store is slow to answer

### 1.0.6 — 2026-08-25

Sharper detection: a few more camera glasses recognized.

Distances in feet: Settings can now show estimated distance in feet instead of meters.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-08-21

Translation fixes
