Usage

• See Releases for APK to download or use Google Play Store. F-Droid and/or Accrescent may follow.

<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.pocketpc.nearbyglasses" target="_blank"></a> <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nearby-glasses-original/id6761056896"></a>

1. Install the app (from Releases or from Google Play, for now) or from Apple App Store, and open it
2. Hit the Start Scanning button
3. Grant permissions to activate Bluetooth (if not already enabled) and to access devices nearby. Some versions of Android also need you to grant permissions to access your location (before Version 13, mostly). Nearby Glasses does nothing with your location info. If you don't believe me, please look at the code
4. if you don't see the scan starting, you might need to enable Foreground Service on your particular phone in the Settings menu (see below)
5. You're all set! When smart glasses are detected nearby, a notification will appear. It does so until you hit Stop Scanning or terminate the app for good
6. In the menu (top right, the cogwheel), you may make some Settings:
   1. Enable Foreground Service: By this, you prevent Android from pausing the app thus preventing it from alerting you. I recommend leaving this enabled
   2. RSSI threshold: This negative number specifies how far away a device might be to be a reason for an alert by Nearby Glasses. Technically, it referes to how strong the signal is received. Closer
