The app
screen by screen.

What your users see, from the first start to a saved report. The app is in English, Slovak and Czech and follows the phone's language.

01First start

  1. Welcome and How it works: the three questions (is it a scam, is it real, is it true) and the note that every answer shows what was found, where it comes from and what could not be checked.
  2. Consent: what is sent, where it goes, what is removed first and what is kept, with the names of your outside services. See Consent.
  3. App lock (optional): a PIN, and fingerprint or face unlock where the phone has it.

02Home

  • A large Check anything button.
  • Recent checks and a summary of the last results.
  • Alerts you publish in the console, in the person's language.
  • What others checked: the trends of the last 7 days, when there is enough opted-in data (see Trends privacy).
  • Entries to the Assistant, Learn, the Evidence locker and, when you offer it, Pro.

03Starting a check

Way inWhat it takes
PasteA link, a message, an e-mail or a claim; "Paste from clipboard" is one tap. Nothing is read from the clipboard in the background.
Camera or QRScan a QR code (read on the phone; the code's content is shown and checked before anything opens) or take a photo.
Photo or videoOne item from the library, through the system picker.
FileA saved e-mail (.eml), an image or a video.
Voice messageAn audio file.
Share from another appIn a chat, a browser or a mail app, Share and pick the app. Android takes text, images, videos, audio and saved e-mails; on iOS the Share Extension takes text, one link, one image, one video or one file.

Which checks run is decided from what was shared; see The checks.

04The verdict

  • One card per axis (Safety, Authenticity, Truth) with its answer, and each finding with its source, the time it was read and, where there is one, a link.
  • The Not checked list, always visible, with the reason for each item.
  • The required attributions, for example "Advisory provided by Google" on a Web Risk warning.
  • The line "Automated risk signals, not proof".
  • Actions: What to do now (the playbook), Ask someone (a shareable verdict card and link), Save to the locker and Ask the assistant.

05What to do now

The playbook for the scam type the check found: steps to take now and whom to contact, for the person's country, each contact with a link to the page it comes from. Phone numbers open the dialler and are never called by the app. When the server cannot be reached the app shows the copy it saved and says so. You edit playbooks in the console (Playbooks).

06Ask someone

The person can send a verdict card and a public link to someone they trust. The page behind the link shows the verdicts, the findings with their sources and, for a checked link, only the website name; never the message, image, file or full address. "Stop sharing" turns the link off at once. Results made on the phone only cannot be shared. See Privacy.

07Evidence locker

Saved checks, encrypted on the phone behind the app lock, with an optional PDF report to send to a bank, the police or an insurer. See Evidence locker.

08Assistant

A chat about a verdict, a message or what to do next. It explains and proposes; nothing happens until the person taps a proposal. Every answer can be reported. See Language model.

09Learn and History

Learn holds short lessons with quizzes; ten ship in each language and you edit them in the console. History lists past checks on the phone with their answers per axis only, never the findings or the content; it can be cleared in its settings, which also hold the switch for sharing anonymous scam-type counts.
