Privacy is personal.

Understand the connected technology around you.

Perimeter helps surface potentially unwanted trackers, smart glasses, and other privacy-relevant devices — and tells you when something deserves attention.

Most of it is ordinary

It doesn’t just show nearby devices. It helps you understand what matters.

Most wireless activity around you is ordinary. Perimeter looks at supported observations over time so a brief encounter and repeated activity do not have to be treated the same way. It evaluates persistence, movement context, apparent signal proximity, repeated observations, and other supported evidence before deciding what deserves closer review.

Perimeter reports evidence and context — not identity, ownership, recording status, or intent.

Honest by construction

Wireless detection has limits. Perimeter shows them.

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi observations depend on the device, the environment, operating conditions, and what is actually broadcasting at that moment.

Perimeter is designed to preserve that uncertainty instead of turning an incomplete observation into a definitive conclusion. When the evidence supports only a possibility, it says so.

  • 01
    The device

    Many devices advertise only at certain moments. A device that is silent, connected, or already paired may produce nothing to observe.

  • 02
    The environment

    Walls, bodies, and radio congestion change what reaches the iPhone. Signal strength is not a calibrated distance measurement.

  • 03
    The protocol

    Devices using protocols Perimeter does not support, or modalities an iPhone cannot sense, may not appear at all.

  • 04
    What it can conclude

    A supported match is a candidate. Perimeter shows the evidence and where the evidence stops, rather than naming a physical product it cannot prove.

A privacy tool is more useful when it is clear about what it cannot see.

Read what Perimeter can and cannot tell you.

Three things people actually need

What Perimeter is for.

Different questions need different evidence. Perimeter treats persistent tracker-like activity, an unfamiliar room, and a supported smart-glasses signal as three separate jobs.

01 / TRACKER-LIKE ACTIVITY

See when supported tracker-like activity persists.

Perimeter looks beyond one nearby sighting and helps you review repeated observations over time and location. It looks for tracker-like observation patterns that persist after movement or recur across separate locations before elevating a concern.

Separate observations cannot always be shown to come from the same physical device. Perimeter says when that is unresolved rather than assuming it.

02 / PRIVACY CHECKS

Check a room or personal space.

Use Perimeter’s Check flow to review supported wireless observations and work through a structured physical privacy check. One signal check monitors supported Bluetooth signatures and checks the Wi-Fi network your iPhone is using. Optional lens and photo tools and a guided physical inspection are there when they help.

  • Room or place Check and Vehicle Check
  • Bluetooth and local-network check in one step
  • Optional photo reference while a check is open
  • Review which parts of the guided check you completed

Hotels · vacation rentals · offices · vehicles · other unfamiliar spaces. A completed check is a record of what you reviewed, not proof that a space is device-free.

03 / SMART-GLASSES AWARENESS

Review supported smart-glasses signals nearby.

Perimeter can surface supported wireless patterns associated with some smart glasses so you can make a more informed decision about your surroundings. It presents them as a candidate, using the evidence it actually has.

A signal cannot tell Perimeter whether glasses are recording or who owns them.

From signals to context

More than a list of nearby Bluetooth devices.

Many scanner apps stop at showing nearby broadcasts and leave you to work out what they mean. Perimeter adds context across observations and explains why something is worth a second look.

Basic Bluetooth scanner

  • Shows nearby broadcasts
  • Gives you a list to interpret
  • Usually treats each sighting independently

Perimeter

  • Focuses on supported privacy-relevant activity
  • Adds context across observations
  • Helps surface repeated activity
  • Explains why something deserves review
  • States uncertainty and limitations
  • Performs core signal analysis on your iPhone

Private by design

Your observations stay yours.

Your observations, scan history, and saved location context stay on your iPhone. No account is required. Information leaves the device only when a feature requires an external platform service or when you deliberately export or share information, as described in the Privacy Policy.

  • On-device analysisSupported signals and patterns are evaluated on device.
  • No account requiredCore awareness works without creating a Perimeter account.
  • No ad identifiers or analytics SDKsShipping V1 includes no advertising identifiers, analytics SDK, or telemetry.
  • Local records you controlSaved records stay on the device until you delete them.

Evidence is not proof

What Perimeter can — and cannot — tell you.

Perimeter can evaluate only technology its available iPhone sensing can observe. It cannot detect every tracker, camera, recorder, wearable, or surveillance method. A device may be present without producing a signal your iPhone can observe. Perimeter provides awareness and context — not a guarantee that an environment is safe.

Perimeter can help with

  • Supported nearby wireless observations.
  • Repeated tracker-like activity across time and place.
  • Time and approximate location context for a finding.
  • Supported smart-glasses signal awareness.
  • Guided privacy checks in unfamiliar spaces.

Perimeter cannot prove

  • Who owns a device.
  • Whether someone intends harm.
  • Whether smart glasses are recording.
  • That every nearby device was detected.
  • That a quiet room contains no privacy threat.

Silent devices may not be observed. Connected devices may stop emitting an observable signal. Unsupported protocols and devices outside the iPhone’s available sensing modalities may not be observed at all.

Questions, answered plainly

What can Perimeter actually tell me?

Clear expectations are part of the product, not fine print.

What does Perimeter detect?+

Perimeter surfaces supported wireless observations near your iPhone. That includes Bluetooth advertisements matching supported tracker or smart-glasses signal profiles, and — during a guided Place Check — camera-related service names advertised on the Wi-Fi network your iPhone is using. It does not inventory every nearby device, and a supported match is a candidate rather than a confirmed product identification.

Is Perimeter a hidden-camera detector?+

No. Perimeter is not a universal hidden-camera detector and cannot guarantee that a hidden camera will be found. Its guided Place Check combines the sensing available on an iPhone — supported Bluetooth observations, a local-network check, and optional lens and photo tools — with a structured physical inspection you carry out yourself. A camera that is wired, offline, cellular, or otherwise not broadcasting on a supported channel may not be observed at all.

Can Perimeter tell if smart glasses are recording?+

No. A wireless observation cannot tell Perimeter whether glasses are recording or who owns them. Perimeter can surface supported wireless signal patterns that may be associated with compatible smart glasses, and it presents them as a candidate rather than an identification.

How does Perimeter handle tracker-like activity?+

Perimeter looks for tracker-like observation patterns that persist after you move or recur across separate locations before elevating a concern. A single nearby sighting is not treated as suspicious on its own. Separate observations cannot always be shown to come from the same physical device, and Perimeter reports that as unresolved instead of assuming continuity.

Does a quiet scan mean the area is clear?+

No. Silent devices, connected devices, unsupported protocols, and devices outside the iPhone’s available sensing modalities may not be observed. Bluetooth availability and iOS operating conditions also affect what can be seen. A quiet result is not evidence that a space is device-free.

Does Perimeter upload my scans or location?+

Core signal analysis runs on your iPhone, and Perimeter does not upload scan results, nearby-device records, routes, photos, or saved checks to Perimeter-operated servers. Information leaves the device only when a feature requires an external platform service, or when you deliberately export, share, or submit it. The Privacy Policy describes each case.

Is Perimeter available yet?+

Not yet. Perimeter is in pre-release testing for iPhone. Add your email below and we’ll send one message when it is available.

What does “patent pending” mean?+

Patent pending. A U.S. provisional patent application was filed on August 7, 2026. A pending application does not establish issued claims, and it is not a statement about what the current app does.

App Store submission pending

Coming soon to iPhone.

The App Store link will appear here as soon as Perimeter is available.
