Friend or Foe

Thanks for showing up curious.

Friend or Foe is an open-source ESP32-S3 badge for practical RF awareness. It listens passively for nearby broadcast evidence, explains useful signals on-device, and can grow from a conference wearable into a fixed sensor node.

Walk-up awareness See useful privacy and drone signals without a cloud account.
Open source Study the hardware, firmware, Android app, and backend on GitHub.
Built to keep learning Reflash it, extend it, or turn it into part of a sensor network.
