Scammers send fake messages every day: a "child" with a new number, a "bank" that calls, a "parcel" that is stuck. Pluis helps you spot those tricks before anything goes wrong. HOW IT WORKS โข Unsure about a message? Press the big green button. โข Paste the text or pick a screenshot. Sharing from WhatsApp or Messages works too. โข Pluis answers right away in plain language: danger, doubt, or no known tricks found. With one concrete step, and a read-aloud button. FAMILY WATCHES WITH YOU Link your mum's or dad's phone with a simple code or QR. When they check a dangerous message, you get an alert right away. The message itself stays private; only the result is shared. PRACTICE WITHOUT RISK In the practice track, Pluis replays known tricks as a real conversation or phone call. You choose what you would do, then see exactly which words would have given the trick away. MADE FOR OLDER ADULTS โข Large text and large buttons โข Read-aloud on every result โข Short explanations, no jargon โข "Hey Siri, check this message" works too PRIVACY FIRST Photos never leave the phone: text is read on the device itself. No account needed. We do not sell data and show no ads. ENCYCLOPEDIA The 10 most common tricks, from hi-mum fraud to fake bank helpdesks, free to read at any time.

Hidden Camera Bug Detector

Vigil turns your phone into a five-channel sweep for hidden cameras, microphones and trackers. It is the check worth doing before you unpack in a hotel room, a holiday rental, a changing room or an office. FIVE WAYS TO FIND A CAMERA Infrared: night-vision cameras flood a dark room with light your eyes cannot see. The front camera can see it, and Vigil under-exposes the sensor until only the emitters are left. Lens glint: glass reflects light straight back at its source. Sweep with the torch and a lens answers with a small, hard, motionless spark. Magnetic: every camera worth hiding holds a magnet and a switching supply, both of which bend the local field. This is the only channel that finds a camera that is switched off. Wi-Fi: lists every device on the network you are on and flags the ones answering on the ports IP cameras stream over. Bluetooth: finds battery cameras, voice recorders and trackers that advertise themselves, and tells you when one is getting closer. WHERE TO LOOK Smoke detectors, air vents, alarm clocks, chargers, mirrors, TV bezels, power strips, air fresheners and decorative holes. Each mode explains what it is measuring and how to sweep properly. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Every scan runs on your device. No video is recorded, no network data leaves the phone, no account is needed and nothing is uploaded โ a privacy tool that phoned home would be a contradiction. Vigil raises suspicion, it does not prove anything. If you find something you cannot explain, stop, leave it in place and call the front desk or the police.
