An instrument · Obsidian №-I
Obsidian is a pocket instrument, milled from a single billet of brass and hand-finished in dark enamel, that detects unknown Bluetooth trackers on or near you. No account. No app required. No data ever leaves the device.
Philosophy
Most alarms shout. Ours burns slowly, like an ember — warm when someone is following you, cold otherwise.
Apple's detection fires hours late, if at all. Big-brand scanner apps upload your scans to the cloud and monetize the data. We thought both were unacceptable. Obsidian does one thing — notice the tracker — and does it on the device, for your eyes only, in a form you can hold in a closed fist.
Silent.
No audio alerts. Haptic only, in the palm.
Local.
No network, no account, nothing to subpoena.
Lasting.
Brass body, replaceable battery, lifetime firmware.
One unknown tracker, present across 3 locations in the last 22 minutes.
The Instrument
A continuous scan begins. Your own devices are filtered away.
The brass face warms, almost imperceptibly, when an unknown tracker stays with you across time and place.
Press-and-hold to reveal the serial on a paired phone. Or simply walk away.
Obsidian is always on and forgets everything at the end of each session. There is nothing to manage.
Testament
"
Once, in a garage in Madrid, it stopped me from walking to my rental car. I have not been without one since.
"
A considered object. The kind of thing one inherits rather than replaces.
"
My daughter found the tracker in her bag the first day we took it to school. I wept, then thanked the makers.
