Glasses Radar detects nearby smart glasses by recognizing their Bluetooth advertisement signatures in real time. When someone wearing Ray-Ban Meta, Oakley Meta, Snap Spectacles, or other camera-equipped smart eyewear is within range, Glasses Radar picks up the unique Bluetooth patterns their glasses broadcast and alerts you. HOW IT WORKS Smart glasses constantly broadcast Bluetooth Low Energy signals while worn. Glasses Radar reads these advertisement packets and matches them against a database of known device signatures — not just manufacturer IDs, but full byte-level fingerprints. This means fewer false alarms from other Meta devices like earbuds or Quest headsets. WHAT IT DETECTS - Ray-Ban Meta (all generations) - Oakley Meta - Snap Spectacles - Other BLE-broadcasting smart eyewear PRIVACY FIRST - Entirely on-device — no account, no cloud, no data uploaded - Zero personal data collected or stored - Works without an internet connection HONEST ABOUT LIMITS Detection is probabilistic. A result means glasses matching a known signature are broadcasting nearby — it does not confirm recording is happening. Bluetooth range and environmental factors affect detection. On iOS, detection uses BLE only; the app reaches a "present" state but not "active" (an Apple platform limitation, not a code gap). Glasses Radar is built for anyone who wants situational awareness about smart eyewear in their environment.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Glasses Radar at none against BlueInk's 2. Glasses Radar also leads on ads (none vs shown). BlueInk's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price there is nothing between them.
