The threats facing your phone today are not the threats from five years ago. AI-generated phishing is indistinguishable from human writing. Voice-cloning scams call your parents using your voice. Autonomous malware adapts to your defenses in real time. Surveillance-grade threats reach journalists, executives, and activists every week. Sentient Spire is mobile threat defense built to match. β€” THE NEW THREAT LANDSCAPE Scam Check. AI-generated phishing is hard to spot, even for experts. Paste any text, link, call number, or email and get a verdict from an on-device safety advisor that runs on infrastructure we own. Your queries never reach a third-party language model. Spyware Scan. Detect behavioral indicators of advanced commercial surveillance implants. Continuous device-integrity monitoring catches the anomalies that static scans miss. Network Shield. A configuration profile filters scam infrastructure across every app on your phone. No per-app setup. No traffic logging. Identity Monitor. Tracks your accounts across known breach databases. All lookups proxy through our backend so your email addresses never leave our infrastructure. Phishing Defense. Real-time link and message analysis, hardened against AI-generated lures. Shared threat intelligence gets smarter every time anyone in the network reports a new scam. Guardian. A private security advisor. Ask anything, get a direct answer, without telemetry feeding adversarial training data back to the people you are defending against. β€” MESSAGE SHIELD: HOW BLOCKING DECISIONS ARE MADE Message Shield only filters numbers and messages that are confirmed or highly likely to be associated with spam or fraud. A number is filtered when it is in your on-device scam database (sourced from Sentient Spire threat intelligence and the numbers you report) or matches a curated scam-prefix pattern. A message is filtered when on-device analysis detects one or more signals: sender brand-impersonation, phishing or shortened/lookalike URLs, money-mule recruitment, fake bank-alert or one-time-code theft patterns, urgency-based social engineering, or unicode obfuscation. The full criteria, and every filtering decision, are shown inside the app on the Message Shield screen. No message content ever leaves your device, and the data is used only to provide the filtering service. β€” THE TRUST MODEL Sentient Spire is built on a zero-collection architecture. Every piece of telemetry is opt-in. Every consent scope is granular. Every default is off. We do not sell, broker, or share user data. We do not collect it. Application-layer encryption wraps every request body before it touches the network. TLS 1.3 with certificate pinning, certificate transparency, and forward secrecy are the floor, not the ceiling. The on-device runtime ships encrypted on disk and is decrypted only into memory at launch. The app refuses to run on jailbroken devices, in debugger sessions, or when hook injection is detected. Runtime trust is verified continuously, not just at launch. β€” WHO IT IS FOR Security professionals who carry sensitive workloads on their phones. Executives, journalists, and activists in high-threat environments. Anyone whose phone is critical infrastructure and who wants defenses that match. β€” COMPLIANCE Privacy Manifest compliant per Apple's iOS 17.4 rules. GDPR Article 7 explicit-consent telemetry flow. US BIS export-classified under ENC license exception 740.17(b)(1).
