ZuckOff is a simple Bluetooth-scanning app that alerts users when certain smart glasses are nearby. It can spot models that broadcast identifiable Bluetooth data, but its usefulness depends on which devices are present and how manufacturers configure their signals.
ZuckOff scans nearby Bluetooth signals for manufacturer and device identifiers associated with smart glasses such as Ray-Ban Meta, Oakley Meta, and Snap Spectacles.

ZuckOff saw early traction after its August 2026 launch, with several thousand downloads on App Store and hundreds on Google Play according to reporting.
