AppSwarm, Corp. (OTC:SWRM) announced the release of Finx, a hidden camera detector and privacy protection app now available on the Apple App Store. The app aims to address rising concerns about covert recording in hotels, Airbnbs, rental properties, offices, and other spaces by providing users with tools to detect potential hidden cameras and unauthorized surveillance equipment.
Finx uses infrared (IR) analysis and electromagnetic signal detection to identify concealed recording devices. It also includes Bluetooth and Wi-Fi scanners that detect nearby Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices and map all devices on a local network, flagging suspicious or unknown connections. A device tracker feature offers real-time signal strength monitoring to help locate lost Bluetooth items or potential trackers. The app is designed with a privacy-first approach, running all scans locally on the device with no data collection, no account requirement, and a strong emphasis on user security.
“Privacy is a fundamental right, and Finx gives people the tools to protect it wherever they go,” said Christopher Bailey, CEO at AppSwarm. “Whether checking a hotel room, Airbnb, or office, Finx provides peace of mind with advanced yet easy-to-use detection technology.”
Finx is available as a free download with optional in-app subscriptions for enhanced features. It can be downloaded from the Apple App Store at https://apps.apple.com/ml/app/finx-hidden-camera-detector/id6772331325.
The release of Finx underscores the growing market for privacy-focused tools as incidents of hidden camera discoveries in short-term rentals and other accommodations make headlines. By leveraging existing smartphone hardware, AppSwarm aims to make surveillance detection accessible to a broad audience without requiring additional equipment.
AppSwarm, a publicly traded technology company specializing in mobile application development and publishing, has been expanding its portfolio with AI-driven and utility apps. Other recent releases include AskOptima, an AI-powered search engine; Zombie Survival: Rise of the Undead Shooter; BARAI AI Cocktail Maker; Travel Safe | Guide; Health Note | CALMI; AniPet for animal identification; and Smart Shop | Grocery for price comparison. The company’s strategy focuses on addressing consumer needs in privacy, convenience, and entertainment.
The announcement highlights the broader implications of evolving privacy threats and the role of consumer technology in mitigating risks. As surveillance devices become smaller and more affordable, apps like Finx provide a practical line of defense for individuals concerned about unauthorized recording. The app’s emphasis on on-device processing also aligns with increasing user demand for data security and minimal data collection.
