What We’re Building in 2026

Symvek started two weeks ago as a privacy company. Since then, we’ve shipped a browser extension, launched a surveillance awareness map covering 183 countries, and started building mobile and API products.

Here’s where we’re headed.

What’s live now

Shield (browser extension, launching soon): Blocks trackers, auto-rejects cookies, prevents fingerprinting, gives you a privacy score for every site. Chrome Web Store launch imminent.

Sentinel Map (live at symvek.com/sentinel/map): 498,500+ surveillance records across 183 countries. CCTV, ALPR, facial recognition, speed cameras, and more. Interactive map with search, filters, and surveillance exposure analysis.

Coming next

Sentinel Mobile (iOS + Android): Real-time surveillance alerts on your phone. Get notified when approaching cameras, ALPR readers, or facial recognition systems. Built-in AirTag/tracker detection. All processing on-device.

Sentinel API: Structured surveillance data via REST API for researchers, journalists, security teams, and anyone building on camera data. Pricing from free to enterprise.

In research

DroneWatch: Software-defined drone detection using commodity SDR hardware. The counter-drone market is $4.9B heading to $36B by 2035. We’re exploring software-only approaches that bring detection costs down from $100K+ to $300 per node.

TSCM SaaS: Always-on counter-surveillance monitoring for corporate facilities. SDR sensor nodes + AI anomaly detection. Monthly subscription instead of $15K per sweep.

The vision

Every product we build answers the same question: what’s watching you, and what can you do about it?

Shield protects your digital footprint. Sentinel shows you the physical surveillance. Mobile alerts make that awareness real-time. DroneWatch extends awareness to airspace. TSCM extends it to private spaces.

The end state: comprehensive counter-surveillance awareness at consumer prices, built on commodity hardware, running on your device, collecting zero data about you.
