Awareness for
Your Environment.
Symvek Watchpoint is a desktop perception agent. It continuously notices nearby surveillance trackers, unfamiliar devices on your network, and drone signatures around you. One install across Mac, Windows, and Linux. Every signal stays on your machine.
Why This Exists
Modern surveillance is layered. Browser fingerprints. Wi-Fi probes. Bluetooth trackers tucked into car seats. Drones circling neighbourhoods. Cameras on every corner. Each layer has a tool that watches it. Nothing watches all of them at once.
Watchpoint is the desktop layer. It runs in the background, learns your normal environment over the first week, then surfaces what changed. A tracker followed you across three coffee shops? You'll know. A new device joined your home network at 2 AM? You'll know. A drone-vendor MAC broadcasting from the parking lot? You'll know.
Every signal stays on your machine. No telemetry. No account required to scan. Buy a license, install, run. The data we sell is the data we collect about the world, never about you.
What Watchpoint Monitors
Six perception layers. One unified verdict. Continuous, not on-demand.
1. BLE tracker awareness
Background scan for AirTag, Tile, Chipolo, Pebblebee, SmartTag, and unknown beacons. Persistent unknown-MAC tracking with travel-mode trip log. AirGuard-grade detection, peer-reviewed open-source clustering.
2. Network baseline diff
Watchpoint learns your home and office baseline over the first week, then alerts on new devices joining your LAN, evil-twin Wi-Fi candidates, exposed camera admin ports, and IoT services that appeared overnight.
3. Drone vendor signatures
Passive Wi-Fi scan for DJI, Parrot, Skydio, Autel, and other catalogued drone-manufacturer MAC OUIs (20 across 8 vendors today, expanding as the catalogue grows). Logged with timestamp and signal strength. Linux + Windows. Mac via SDR add-on.
4. Sentinel surveillance overlay
When you grant location, Watchpoint surfaces fixed surveillance camera density within 500 m of your current address. Drawn from the 458,000+ camera Sentinel public-records dataset.
5. SDR add-on (Bring-Your-Own)
Plug in an RTL-SDR or HackRF and Watchpoint extends to drone control links (ELRS, Crossfire), LoRa telemetry, and Remote ID broadcasts. Works on every platform. Same software, no additional license cost.
6. Daily perception digest
A one-page summary of what was around you today. Trackers seen, network changes, drone signatures, camera-density rating. The "what changed" view. Optional weekly email digest for accountability.
Platform Coverage, Honestly
macOS retired the system-level Wi-Fi monitor-mode access in 2024. We're not pretending otherwise. Here's exactly what works on each platform.
| Capability | macOS | Linux | Windows |
|---|---|---|---|
| BLE tracker awareness | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Network baseline diff | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Sentinel camera overlay | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Drone vendor MAC scan (Wi-Fi) | SDR only | ✓ | ✓ |
| SDR drone detection (BYOSDR) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
If drone-vendor Wi-Fi detection matters to you and you're on Mac, the SDR add-on covers the same use case via an RTL-SDR ($30) or HackRF ($300). Receive-only SDR is unregulated for personal use; Watchpoint never transmits.
How It's Built
The kind of detail you'd want to know before installing a security tool from a stranger.
Tauri 2.x shell · ~8 MB binary
Not Electron. Not 120 MB of bundled Chromium. Watchpoint's installer is small enough that you can audit what it ships.
Local SQLite · never leaves your machine
The rolling perception history is stored locally, encrypted at rest. We do not have a server-side copy. We could not deliver one if subpoenaed.
Signed and notarised
Apple Developer ID signing + notarisation on macOS. Authenticode on Windows. AppImage with verifiable signature on Linux. Every release reproducible from public source.
License keys, not DRM
Activate once, use forever. Cancel any time and the binary keeps working: you just stop receiving new tracker signatures and Sentinel data refreshes. Provisioned via Polar.sh.
What Your Subscription Funds
Watchpoint is licensed software, not subscribed-in-name-only. The subscription pays for the things that have to keep moving:
BLE tracker catalogue. AirTag, Tile, Chipolo, Pebblebee, SmartTag, AirTag clones, fitness wearables. Vendors keep shipping new firmware. We keep the signatures current.
Drone OUI database. 20 OUIs across 8 vendors today, growing as the catalogue is extended and as new vendors register MAC blocks. The defence-tech moat is keeping this list complete.
Sentinel data refresh. Public-records camera data is mapped continuously. Your Watchpoint stays current.
Network signature library. Common camera-admin ports, IoT default-credential patterns, evil-twin AP heuristics. Updated as we encounter new patterns in the wild.
