ZuckOff is a phone app designed to notice certain camera glasses and headsets nearby. Rather than identifying a camera directly, it listens for Bluetooth advertisements—the short signals devices broadcast while powering on, pairing, leaving a charging case, or remaining discoverable. It then compares parts of those signals with recognition rules for products such as Ray-Ban Meta, Oakley Meta, and Snap Spectacles.
Place after the paragraph introducing ZuckOff’s Bluetooth-scanning purpose and supported camera-glasses products.
The app’s publishers say a flag can be based on a manufacturer identifier, a Bluetooth service identifier, or an advertised product name. ZuckOff displays the matching evidence and assigns a confidence level, allowing a user to challenge a result. It also records other nearby Bluetooth devices and shows changes in signal strength over time, rather than treating every sighting as a confirmed pair of glasses.
That distinction matters because the signal can suggest proximity but not direction. The supplied product pages say signal strength provides only a rough distance estimate, so ZuckOff uses proximity bands instead of an arrow. A stronger reading may indicate that a device is closer, but it does not reveal where in the room the device is or who controls it.
Nor is the detector definitive. The publishers say glasses advertise most loudly during startup, pairing, or removal from a case, but may become quiet after pairing. Silence therefore does not prove that nobody is recording. Conversely, detecting a compatible device proves only that its Bluetooth signal was heard; it says nothing about whether its camera is active.
The app is listed for Apple and Android devices, with additional Apple Watch and Mac functionality described in the Apple listing. Detection coverage also remains incomplete: the website says its rules come from captures of devices its developers own, and it invites owners of unlisted hardware to submit scan data. ZuckOff can therefore provide an additional signal about nearby hardware, but not a complete account of what is being recorded.
