I made an app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.pocketpc.nearbyglasses
Nearby Glasses is here to warn you when smart glasses are nearby.

I hope it's useful for someone.

The app is now open source (AGPL-3.0), the app is free and rather simple
https://github.com/yjeanrenaud/yj_nearbyglasses

It's also downloadable outside the Play Store. iOS port is in the making. F-Droid is an option, will have to look into that

@yjeanrenaud cool! Please consider publishing it on the F-Droid store, too.

@mosquete @yjeanrenaud that would be nice, yes. having it in fdroid would guarantee it is both open source and without proprietary tracking services.

@f4grx

You can easily check for trackers. This app doesn't have any, and it has fewer permissions than most other apps, too:

@CppGuy @mosquete @yjeanrenaud thank you so much for having checked that. I should have done it myself. I just installed the apk and will play with this app.

@f4grx thank you. I say so in the privacy statement, too. I know, companies lie a lot in those, but I don't 🙃or at least I try not to. Maybe I missed something. I'm no lawyer either

@yjeanrenaud thats okay, no problems. I tried the app and ot scans very fast and emits a lot of logs when it sees nothing. May I suggest scanning slower and not displaying the scans when the rssi is below the threshold? That will save battery and cpu.
