RoboVeto

RoboVeto automatically filters spam and unwanted SMS messages before they reach your inbox — no servers, no accounts, no data ever leaving your phone. HOW IT WORKS RoboVeto integrates with Apple's built-in SMS filtering system. Messages from unknown senders are checked against your active filters on your device. If a match is found, the message is silently moved to your Spam folder in the Messages app. Your messages never leave your device. FILTER CATEGORIES (Free) • Political — campaign fundraising, PAC messages, political ads • Scams & Fake Offers — fraudulent links, fake prizes, credential theft FILTER CATEGORIES (Pro) • Sales & Marketing • Sweepstakes & Prizes • Dating & Romance • Adult Content • Financial & Crypto • Health & Pharma • Social Media • Retail Promotions • Travel Spam • Gambling • Recruiting Spam • Custom Categories — create your own keyword filters for anything PRO FEATURES • All 13 filter categories unlocked • Custom categories with keyword control 100% PRIVATE RoboVeto runs entirely inside Apple's sandboxed filter extension — an isolated process with zero network access. It never reads your message history, never connects to the internet, and never sends anything anywhere. Not to us, not to anyone. GETTING STARTED After installing, go to Settings → Messages → Message Filtering and select RoboVeto. That's it. Filtering starts immediately. You only need to revisit the app if you want to upgrade or change your filter settings. SUBSCRIPTION RoboVeto Pro is available as an auto-renewing annual subscription. • Free 14-day trial • $4.99/year after trial • Cancel anytime in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions • Payment charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase • Subscription automatically renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://roboveto.app/privacy
