## What is PhishCheck?

Paste any suspicious text, email, or SMS. PhishCheck reads it and shows
you exactly what's off — in plain language, right on the flagged line.

No account. No upload. No cloud. Every check runs on your phone.

WHAT IT DOES
Paste a message and tap Analyze. PhishCheck scans for the patterns
scammers actually use: urgency and pressure language, requests for a
password or one-time code, suspicious links, gift-card or crypto payment
asks, and more. Each flag comes with a plain-language explanation and the
exact snippet that triggered it — no jargon, no black box.

WORKS OFFLINE, BY DESIGN
PhishCheck never sends what you paste anywhere. The analysis runs entirely
on your device. There's nothing to upload because nothing leaves your
phone — that's not a setting, it's how the app is built.

BUILDS THE HABIT
Every check is saved to your history, so you can look back at what you
found. And the built-in Learn library explains each red-flag category in
plain language, once, so next time you spot it yourself.

WHAT IT ISN'T
PhishCheck doesn't block messages, scan your inbox, or promise to catch
everything. It's a second pair of eyes for a message that feels off —
helping you slow down and check before you act. Always stay cautious with
requests for money, codes, or personal information, however they arrive.

Free to try: your first 5 checks are on us. PhishCheck Pro is a one-time
unlock — no subscription, no limits after that.
