The Smarttress mattress is the world’s first smart mattress, said to be able to detect infidelity in couples by means of a mobile app. On the more ethical side are apps such as Couple Tracker and mCouple that allow partners to consensually access each other’s texts, calls, Facebook activity and GPS location. They range from websites that scrape public data (perfectly legal) to spyware such as FlexiSPY and mSpy that, once covertly installed, enable remote surveillance of a person’s phone (not so legal). But it’s also easier than ever to catch a cheating partner with a vast selection of websites, apps and spyware that can monitor their mobile footprints.Ĭlandestine services, such as Swipebuster, that allow jealous lovers to track someone’s activity without their knowledge are the most controversial. Apps like Tinder, Bumble and Grindr present a never-ending rolodex of hookups-to-be, while messaging services store illicit dinner plans in password-protected phones. Technology has made it easier than ever to be unfaithful. Wilson is not normally the jealous type, but she had a “gut feeling” that something was wrong.
