Antizuck Smart Glasses Scanner enters the top 15 after PetaPixel and Lifehacker coverage on July 23, 2026 flagged the $2.99 Bluetooth scanner that alerts iPhone users when Meta Ray-Ban, Snap Spectacles, or similar devices are nearby. Shadowrocket holds rank one on the paid chart with a July 7, 2026 update adding Tailscale tunnel support and MASQUE outbound proxy features. Compared to the July 2 snapshot, Foggy: Bay Area Fog Tracker and YoungPhoto have dropped out while Antizuck and MilGPS are new names.

  1. Shadowrocket: A rule-based iOS proxy client for routing HTTP, HTTPS, and TCP traffic through user-configured servers.

  14. MilGPS: A military-grade GPS and mapping utility for tactical navigation. No widely reported trigger identified for July 26.

  15. Antizuck Smart Glasses Scanner: A $2.99 Bluetooth scanner that detects nearby smart glasses from Meta, Snap, Amazon, and RayNeo without uploading data.

The July 26 paid board is mostly a utility fixture list with one clear July news spike. Shadowrocket, HotSchedules, AnkiMobile, and Procreate Pocket have held the top four slots since early July, matching App Chart Archive data from July 17 through July 20. That consistency points to recurring demand from proxy users, restaurant workers, students, and illustrators.

Antizuck is the exception. Coverage on July 23 tied the app to concern about Meta Ray-Ban and competing smart glasses. The app was not in the July 2 top 15, when Foggy and YoungPhoto occupied mid-chart slots. Spirit Talker and MilGPS fill niche categories without dated July 26 headlines.

This ranked list came from the Trends MCP get_top_trends endpoint for analysts monitoring iOS paid install shelves. The app store trends page documents how Apple paid-chart signals map into the broader Trends MCP stack.
