Requires an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or later), with Apple Intelligence turned on. Paste a message or select a screenshot. Get a clear answer in seconds. == How It Works == • Paste a suspicious message or select screenshots (including QR codes) • Get an instant risk assessment: low, medium, or high • See the detected scam type, warning signs, and step-by-step next actions • Access official fraud helplines for your region or generate a safe reply when appropriate == Key Features == • QR Code ("Quishing") Detection: Automatically extracts and checks hidden URLs inside QR codes in screenshots • Scannable Warning Signs & Next Steps: Clear badges showing the scam category, red flags, and next steps • Smarter Reply Protection: Warns when replying is unsafe or drafts a polite refusal when disengaging is safe • Regional Official Helplines: One-tap access to official anti-scam hotlines and 7726 carrier spam reporting (US, UK, AU, CA, NZ, JP) • Common Scams Guide: Offline reference for parcel scams, unpaid tolls, bank/police impersonation, pig-butchering, QR quishing, voice clones, and job scams == 100% Private — Nothing Leaves Your Device == Unlike other scam detectors that send your messages to cloud servers, Ranita AI runs entirely on your iPhone using Apple Intelligence. Your texts are never uploaded, stored, or seen by anyone. == Why We Built Ranita AI == It started with a single text message. It looked completely legitimate. Within days, scammers convinced someone to transfer money to “protect” their account from fraud. By the time the truth became clear, the money was already gone. But the financial loss wasn’t the worst part. What followed was the shame. The embarrassment. The relentless self-doubt. “How could I have been so foolish?” The truth is—they weren’t foolish. They were trusting. And scammers exploit that trust every single day. The scale of the problem is staggering. Millions of dollars are stolen each year through fraudulent messages, fake calls, and increasingly sophisticated schemes. But statistics don’t capture the real cost. Retirees losing their life savings. Grandparents draining their accounts to help a “grandchild in trouble.” Hard-working people watching decades of careful saving disappear in an instant. These aren’t just financial crimes. They’re life-altering events. We’ve seen victims fall into depression. Marriages strained by guilt and blame. People who lose confidence in their own judgment—and with it, their sense of independence. It doesn’t have to be this way. That’s why we built Ranita AI. We wanted something simple: a tool anyone can use to check whether a message or conversation is suspicious—before it’s too late. No complicated setup. No confusing technology. Just paste a message or select a screenshot and get a clear, honest answer. And we made one promise above all else: your privacy would never be compromised. Every analysis happens directly on your iPhone using Apple Intelligence. Your messages are never sent to a server. They’re never stored in a database. They’re never seen by anyone but you. Because the last thing someone worried about a scam needs is another reason not to trust technology. == Protect Yourself and Your Family == Please share Ranita AI with your parents, grandparents, and friends—anyone who might benefit from a second opinion on a suspicious message. Together, we can make it much harder for scammers to succeed. Download Ranita AI today and get peace of mind—securely and privately.

HeaderCheck reads the hidden headers of an email and tells you, in plain language, whether the sender's domain checked out. Paste the headers and HeaderCheck shows clear Pass, Fail, Softfail or Missing results for SPF, DKIM and DMARC, explains whether the domains line up, and points out anything worth a second look. It does the work on your iPhone or iPad. There's no account and no sign-in, and your headers are never uploaded. WHAT YOU GET FOR FREE • Header analysis for SPF, DKIM and DMARC • Simple explanations of each result • Domain alignment notes • A built-in guide to finding and copying headers HEADERCHECK PRO (ONE-TIME PURCHASE) • Reputation hints: see if the sender's domain comes from a throwaway or free email provider, and which public servers handed the message along • Optional live DNS checks: look up those servers on the SpamCop and PSBL block lists, and check whether the sender's domain publishes SPF, DMARC and MX records. Off until you turn it on in Settings • Open email files from Mail, Files or other apps • Copy a plain-text summary or export a PDF report, hints included • Unlimited History Reputation hints are just that: extra context to help you decide. They never call a message good or bad on their own. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Analysis happens on your iPhone or iPad • No account, no analytics, no tracking • Headers and message content are never sent to us • Live DNS checks are optional. When they're on, only server addresses and the sender's domain are looked up through your device's normal DNS Available in 14 languages. HeaderCheck reports what's in the headers you give it. It can't promise that a message is safe, and it isn't legal advice. Privacy policy: https://headercheck.app/privacy Support: https://headercheck.app/support
