A messenger that helps hold back scams, bullying and abuse before they reach you. KindChat is a full-featured messenger with built-in protection. Your message is checked on your phone before it is sent, and again when it arrives. If the phone is unsure, and in some languages (such as French and Turkish) for most messages, our own server in the EU checks it as well: without your identity. It is stored only with your consent ("Help improve moderation"), pseudonymised, to improve our own moderation model. When the check detects harassment, hate, threats, scams or grooming, it holds the message back before it is sent.
