Guardiax is your personal internet safety assistant. In seconds, it tells you whether an email address, domain, or link is safe to trust โ€” without storing a single byte of your data. Whether you received a suspicious message, want to verify who you're dealing with online, or just want to know if a website is legitimate, Guardiax gives you a clear, actionable answer. IDENTITY CHECK Run a four-dimension risk analysis on any email address. Guardiax checks breach exposure across known data leak databases, spoofing vulnerability through SPF, DMARC and DKIM authentication records, domain trust signals, and online identity presence โ€” then scores each dimension from Low to Critical so you know exactly where the risk lies. IS THIS A SCAM? Paste any URL, domain, or email and get an instant scam risk verdict. Guardiax analyses domain provenance and age, WHOIS ownership records, DNS authentication (SPF, DMARC, MX), public reputation signals, and blacklist status โ€” then explains in plain English what it found and what you should do. THREE VIEWS, ONE APP Not everyone needs the same level of detail. Switch between Simple (plain-English verdict for non-technical users), Standard (prioritised action steps), and Advanced (full technical breakdown) โ€” right from the home screen. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Guardiax only analyses publicly available information. Nothing you scan is stored, tracked, or shared. Ever.

About

Before You Share

Read full description

Before You Share checks screenshots and images for the private bits hiding in plain sight. Pick an image from Photos, Finder on Mac, or the iOS Share Sheet. Before You Share runs an on-device scan for emails, phone numbers, payment cards, IBANs, postal addresses, faces, QR codes, hidden image metadata, and more. Review every finding, ignore false positives, mark any area yourself, then share a clean PNG with selected details hidden and metadata stripped. โ€” 100% on-device. Detection runs on Apple's Vision framework. โ€” No accounts, no ads, no third-party analytics, no tracking. โ€” Your images are never uploaded. Optional Pro features unlock expanded checks, the iOS Share Sheet extension, advanced detections, and saved redaction defaults. Detection isn't perfect. Always review before sharing.
