We’re releasing Survey, a native macOS tool that shows you what your computer reveals about itself through Bluetooth, WiFi, and location services.
What it does Your Mac is constantly broadcasting and receiving signals. Bluetooth beacons from nearby trackers and smart glasses, WiFi probes from networks around you, location data leaking through permissions you may have forgotten about. Survey makes all of this visible.
It has three tabs:
Bluetooth — scans for nearby BLE devices using a database of ~130 device signatures. Categorizes what it finds (trackers, glasses, wearables) and assigns threat levels. High-threat devices trigger desktop notifications. WiFi — grades your current network’s security (A-F), fingerprints the access point type, scans nearby networks, and audits your saved networks against ~90 known suspicious SSIDs. Location — computes a privacy exposure score based on your permissions, Bluetooth state, and network security. Maps your location history and links to macOS privacy settings. Why not just block everything? Survey isn’t a blocker. It’s a visibility tool. You can’t make good privacy decisions without first understanding what’s happening. Survey shows you the landscape — which devices are nearby, how secure your network is, what your location permissions expose — and then you decide what to do about it.
