A pocket-size noise machine for the wireless world

They listen
for signal.
Give them noise.

Your phone, watch, earbuds and car chatter wirelessly all day. Nearby scanners can sit back and take notes. Flock Block detects them and can alert you when one may be collecting consumer data. Then it floods the air with extra broadcasts, so what they collect stops being worth much.

The problem

Nobody is
hacking you.
They just listen.

Passive scanning is the quietest form of observation there is. Nothing gets broken into. Something simply sits there, writes down what floats past, and lets time turn it into a profile.

  1. 01

    It never stops

    Bluetooth and Wi-Fi devices announce themselves constantly, even sitting in your pocket doing nothing.

  2. 02

    Anyone can listen

    Receiving those announcements takes no permission, no hacking and about thirty dollars of hardware.

  3. 03

    Patterns are the prize

    One reading is trivia. The same handful of devices seen at the same places daily is a pattern.

  4. 04

    You are the constant

    You don't have to be named to be recognised. The bundle of things you carry is enough.

Three steps.
No settings.

  1. 01

    Scanners listen

    A receiver somewhere nearby is quietly logging every wireless announcement in range. Yours included.

  2. 02

    Flock Block talks over it

    Switched on, it broadcasts a continuous crowd of extra Bluetooth and Wi-Fi activity around you.

  3. 03

    Clean data turns to soup

    Instead of a tidy handful of devices, the log fills with company. Sorting the real from the rest gets expensive.

Six entries. Four of them follow you home every night. That's the shape of a routine, written down by a machine you never noticed.

Built for normal people

Not a hobby.
An object.

Your phone keeps working exactly the way it did this morning. Your maps, your music, your messages — untouched. Flock Block changes the air around you to help hide your digital fingerprint, without changing the way you live in it.

01

Turn it on

One button. A green dot means it's working.

02

Carry it

Bag, pocket, glovebox, coat. It doesn't need to see the sky.

03

Get alerted

When a nearby scanner may be collecting consumer data, Flock Block can alert you.
