## What it is
Nearby Glasses is a mobile app that scans Bluetooth LE advertisements to detect smart glasses (like Ray-Ban Meta) nearby and warns the user. It is available for Android and iOS and is designed as a privacy-protection tool.

## Use cases
- detect hidden smart glasses near me
- warn me when someone wearing camera glasses is nearby
- scan bluetooth for recording devices
- protect my privacy from covert surveillance glasses
- find ray-ban meta smart glasses nearby
- alert me to nearby bluetooth camera devices

## When to choose
- you want a privacy-focused open-source detector for smart glasses on your phone
- you want an app available on both Android and iOS with AGPL licensing
- you are concerned about covert recording devices in your vicinity

## When to avoid
- you need guaranteed accurate detection - Bluetooth scanning has false positives and negatives
- you want to identify or confront specific individuals - the app explicitly warns against harassment
- you need detection of non-Bluetooth surveillance devices

## Facets
