## What is Foxglove?

Love your art but not AI? Foxglove it.

Foxglove is the first and only mobile app that lets artists protect their work from AI scraping and unauthorized training—right from your phone.

Before you post to Instagram, share your portfolio, or upload anywhere, run your images through Foxglove. Three layers of protection, all in your pocket: stripped metadata so scrapers can't identify you, adversarial perturbation that corrupts AI training data, and a hidden poison message only AI can read.

Your followers see your art exactly as intended. AI scrapers get poisoned data and your message.

HOW IT WORKS
Upload your images, customize your protection, and tap Poison It. Foxglove processes everything on-device—your art never leaves your phone. Save your protected images or share directly to socials.

BATCH YOUR POISON
Foxglove up to 20 images at once. Add your visible and invisible watermark to an entire carousel before you post.

HIDE A MESSAGE ONLY AI CAN READ
Embed a custom poison message into the pixel data itself via steganography. Leave your name, your terms, or a cheeky note for scrapers. Your custom poison signature on every image.

VERIFY IT WORKED
Upload any foxgloved image to read the hidden poison back. Confirm your protection is embedded before you share.

NATIVE iOS FEATURES
- Home Screen widget to track your foxgloved images
- Dedicated Foxglove album in your Photos library
- Siri Shortcuts: "Hey Siri, foxglove my art"
- Native photo picker—select straight from your camera roll
- Haptic feedback you can feel (toggle in Settings)
- Share directly to socials via native share sheet
- Deep links for fast access from widgets and shortcuts
- Suggested captions with hashtags for your posts

Free. No account required. No data collected.

Made by an artist, for artists.

### 5/5 — Brilliant for all artists

*2026-06-09*

Easy to use and such a great idea to protect original art, I will continue to use for ANY art I post online. Huge thanks to this creator.

### 1/5 — Don’t work

*2026-06-06*

Doesn’t stop ChatGPT from stealing artwork

**Developer response:** From the About section: "I uploaded to ChatGPT and it still described my image"
That's expected. No poisoning tool — including Nightshade — will make ChatGPT fail to describe your image. That tests inference (reading), not training (learning). Poisoning works when your art is scraped into training data. The perturbation corrupts the learning process, not the viewing process. These are fundamentally different things.

If you have any other questions or need further clarification let me know, thanks.

Sincerely,
an artist making tools artists

Updated my art with this, super cool!

**Developer response:** Thanks for trying it out! Be sure to update as I've fixed the steganography so it shouldn't leave yellow marks anymore. 

Email me if you find any bugs or have suggestions :)

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.1 (Build 8) — 2026-06-10

Reliability fixes:
• Hidden messages now embed and verify reliably — Foxglove decodes your message back from the actual pixels to confirm it's really there before you save.
• Images protected with older versions verify correctly again.
• Long messages plus your artist credit now trim to fit instead of failing silently; the character counter shows your live budget.
• Saving to Photos, the home-screen widget, and the share extension now work as intended.

### 1.1 (Build 7) — 2026-05-12

1.1 brings important bug fixes and a few quality-of-life improvements.

Fixed:
• Yellow patches on flat artwork (sky, white backgrounds, solid 
  colors) — hidden messages now only embed in textured regions 
  where they can hide safely.
• PNG transparency preserved end-to-end. Transparent PNGs now 
  stay transparent through the entire process.
• Subtle color shifts in adversarial perturbation rebalanced.

Added:
• Max mode toggle — for users who want the hidden message embedded 
  across more of the image, even if it shows faintly on plain 
  backgrounds. Off by default.
• Smarter feedback in the Verify tab when no message is detected — 
  now explains why (JPEG compression, social media re-encoding, etc).
• Public changelog at foxgloveapp.com/changelog.
• In-app "Report a bug" link that pre-fills your version for 
  faster fixes.

Made by one artist for artists. Bug reports welcome at 
info@cweird.com.

### 1.0 (Build 6) — 2026-04-21
