About

AI Detector

Read full description

AI Detector gives you a quick, on-device estimate of whether a piece of text or an image was likely created by AI. Paste any text or pick a photo โ€” the app analyzes it entirely on your device. Nothing is uploaded, no account is required, and it works offline. WHAT YOU GET โ€ข An estimated AI-likelihood percentage with a confidence level โ€ข Works for both text and images โ€ข Fully on-device โ€” your content never leaves your phone โ€ข Fast, private, and works offline HONEST BY DESIGN AI detection is genuinely difficult. This app gives an estimate, not a verdict. Results are not proof and should never be used to accuse anyone. The app shows a confidence level, displays a clear disclaimer, and holds back when it isn't sure. HOW IT WORKS The detection models are bundled in the app and run locally using on-device machine learning. Because everything runs on your device, your text and images stay private. FREE, WITH OPTIONAL AD-FREE The app is free and supported by ads. You can remove all ads with an optional auto-renewing monthly subscription, managed through your Apple ID. A NOTE ON ACCURACY No AI detector is perfectly reliable โ€” including this one. Please treat every result as a rough estimate, not a definitive answer.

About

Actually Real?

Features
Read full description

Actually Real? scans any photo and tells you whether it looks AI-generated - and shows you exactly why, not just a score. HOW IT WORKS - Every scan runs four independent checks: a trained AI-detection model, a compression-artifact analysis that flags exactly which regions look synthesized, a camera-metadata check, and a Content Credentials (C2PA) check where available. You get a clear verdict โ€” Likely Real, Likely AI, or Uncertain โ€” with a confidence level, plus a heatmap showing precisely which parts of the image triggered the result. HONEST ABOUT UNCERTAINTY - No detector is ever 100% certain, and we don't pretend otherwise. Every scan shows you each individual signal โ€” including when they disagree โ€” so you can judge for yourself instead of trusting a single black-box number. FREE TO START - Get 5 scans a day at no cost. Upgrade to Unlimited for unrestricted daily scanning. Perfect for checking suspicious photos, verifying images before sharing, or just satisfying your curiosity about what's real.
