Netguard is a phishing-URL detector built around a simple promise: local-first, zero-cloud. Every analysis runs offline on your device — we don't collect or upload your URLs or browsing history. Got a suspicious link in a text, message, or email? Paste it or share it to Netguard and instantly see: • A risk level (Safe / Suspicious / Dangerous) and a 0–100 score • Itemized signals: typosquatting, look-alike (homoglyph) spoofing, brand impersonation, subdomain tricks, suspicious keywords • A plain-language explanation (on Apple Intelligence-capable devices, generated by an on-device model — fully offline) LOCAL-FIRST, PRIVACY-FIRST Unlike tools that send your browsing to the cloud, Netguard analyzes entirely offline by default. Your links stay on your device. CHECK FROM ANYWHERE • Share Extension: share any link to Netguard from any app • Siri & Shortcuts: "Check a URL with Netguard" • History: revisit links you've checked FREE vs PRO Free: 10 checks per day, last 20 history entries, fully offline. Netguard Pro: unlimited checks, full history, and early access to upcoming features. Subscription: NT$90/month or NT$690/year (includes a 7-day free trial).
