ZML VS. ZUCKOFF
Looking for a
ZuckOff alternative?
Meet ZML — Zuck My Life. A privacy-focused Android app that turns nearby Bluetooth clues into explanations you can actually read.
Camera glasses made the room weird. Understanding a scan should not make it weirder. ZML puts a plain-language summary first, with technical details one tap away.
Watch ZML in 20 secondsWhat are you comparing?
ZML and ZuckOff look for Bluetooth signals associated with smart glasses. Both offer free scanning and paid monitoring features. ZuckOff is available on iOS and Android; ZML currently focuses on Android phones running Android 12 or later.
A smart glasses detector works with clues a device broadcasts. It cannot establish who owns a device or whether a camera is recording. Silent devices and unfamiliar signals can be missed.

The storage and report comparison follows ZML's privacy details and ZuckOff's Android privacy policy. Both keep scan history locally. A protected identifier reduces raw-address retention; it does not make all saved observations anonymous. Feature listings do not establish equal detection coverage.
What ZML puts within easy reach
- A useful explanation first. See what a match might mean before opening identifiers, signal strength and other technical clues.
- History on your phone. A 24-hour default, familiar-device controls and a clear-history option. Pro offers optional longer retention and CSV export.
- Less identifying data kept. Raw Bluetooth addresses are replaced before history is saved. Hardware-report files exclude device names and raw advertisement payloads.
- Monitoring you control. Pro adds timed background monitoring, alerts and a home-screen widget.
- No ZML account or ads. Google Play handles purchases. Scan history is not sent to billing; Google receives billing diagnostics and device/network information. See our privacy details.
These are ZML's features, not a claim that ZuckOff lacks them. Detection quality depends on the glasses, firmware, Bluetooth broadcasts and phone settings. We do not claim better accuracy or battery life without measurements.
Can an app detect Ray-Ban Meta glasses?
Some smart glasses broadcast recognizable Bluetooth clues. A match is evidence to review, not proof of a camera or recording. A manufacturer's identifier may also appear on other products, and changing or absent broadcasts can prevent detection. No app can turn an empty scan into a privacy guarantee.
Choose the app you understand.
Start with the explanation, the controls and the limits. Then choose whether paid monitoring is useful to you. No panic subscription required.
