Meta has sold 7M+ Ray-Ban glasses that look identical to normal glasses but can record you silently.

NoPeek detects them using immutable BLE manufacturer company IDs - signals that cannot be randomized or hidden unlike MAC addresses.

Detects: Meta Ray-Ban, Snap Spectacles, Oakley Meta, TCL RayNeo, Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro, Pico VR and more.

No ads. No tracking. No internet permission. Fully open source. MIT license.

Fdroid requires app to be RB (reproducible build) which is good cuz it mean the apk developer release should be identical to a build you make from source code.

My issue was that updating or adding a library to my app could break RB which can be a simple fix, but would require either waiting for pull request to be merged or forking yourself.

It just becomes a game of Guess Who to find who is at fault for RB issues. Maybe it's just a flutter thing and isn't an issue with kotlin apps, idk.

IzzyOnDroid is a great fallback

    How so? I don't know much about the difference between Izzy and F-Droid.
