Why We Built YourSweep: Peace of Mind Is the Whole Point

Laura Hobson, Co-Founder & COO, YoursGlobal · · 2 min read

No consumer scan can guarantee that a space is free of surveillance devices. YourSweep supports a room check; combine app results with visual inspection and appropriate help when something seems wrong.

Between the two of us, Todd and I have more than 25 years of global travel behind us. We’ve checked into a lot of rooms, joined a lot of WiFi networks, and learned that the best trips are the ones where you stop thinking about your surroundings and start enjoying them.

That’s what we wanted to build: not a product that makes you feel scared, but one that helps you feel steady.

Built by travelers, not boardrooms

We made YourSweep for the way people actually move through the world: arriving tired, in an unfamiliar place, wanting to do one quick thing and then get on with their day. So the features are practical. Hidden camera detection. Bluetooth trackers with compass navigation. Rogue WiFi detection. NFC key card tampering checks.

What we won’t promise

We can’t stop a company from being breached. We can’t promise that any one tool will catch everything. We’d rather tell you that than overclaim.

What we can do is hand you a few things that are checkable, and make checking them fast.

The point of all of it

When the headlines are heavy, it helps to have something small and real that’s yours to do. A two-minute sweep. A clear result. A deep breath.

Then you get to put your phone down, open the window, and be where you are.

Sweep first, live after.
