Nearby signal awareness
Scans for Bluetooth Low Energy signals that may match known smart glasses or wearable recording devices.
Local-first privacy awareness
Know when nearby signals may suggest smart glasses.
Unrecorded is a local-first privacy awareness app that helps you understand when nearby Bluetooth signals may match smart glasses or wearable recording devices.
Important: Unrecorded does not prove anyone is recording. It highlights possible privacy risk indicators so you can make a more informed choice.
Coming soon for Android

What Unrecorded does
Awareness based on visible nearby signals — not certainty about recording.
Calm risk indicators
Shows low, medium, or high privacy risk based on visible signal patterns — not certainty.
Local-first by design
Scan data is processed on your device. No account, no cloud upload, and no analytics by default.
Honest about limits
Unrecorded cannot confirm whether a device is recording. Bluetooth visibility varies, device names can be hidden or changed, and not every camera or microphone uses Bluetooth.
- It cannot prove someone is recording.
- It cannot detect every camera or microphone.
- It cannot guarantee that nearby devices are smart glasses.
- It should be treated as a privacy awareness tool, not a security guarantee.
How it works
-
Scan nearby signals
Unrecorded looks for Bluetooth Low Energy signals while the app is open.
-
Compare privacy indicators
Visible names, signal patterns, and device behaviour are compared against known risk indicators.
-
Show clear guidance
The app explains why a signal may be worth noticing, using calm language and clear limitations.
Built around privacy, not tracking
Unrecorded is designed so scan data stays on your device. The app does not require an account, does not upload nearby scan results to our servers, and does not include analytics by default.

Unrecorded is being built as an open-source project so its behaviour can be inspected, questioned, and improved. The goal is simple: more awareness without hidden tracking or overblown claims.
