Four short explainers — Live Shield, Family Setup, Care Mode, and Premium. Each ~40 seconds, with audio narration and captions.
How ScamRadar's ambient on-device shield catches scams in your messaging apps the moment they arrive — with a two-stage Lite + Gemma AI pipeline.
One QR code — pod join, Care Mode, your number as emergency contact. Built so you can set up Mom's phone over a phone call.
Bigger text. Two-button home. Spoken verdicts. A “Call my family” emergency button. One toggle changes everything.
Incident Report PDF, Evidence Locker ZIP, Family tier with weekly digest and anti-deepfake verification. The scanner stays free forever.
Captions auto-on. Download links and full transcripts in the repository.
ScamRadar packs powerful on-device AI into a simple, instant experience — no account, no cloud, no waiting.
Paste any suspicious message and get an instant verdict: Safe, Suspicious, or Likely Scam — with a confidence score and highlighted red-flag phrases.
Share a screenshot of a suspicious email. Built-in OCR extracts the text and runs it through the same scam classifier — no typing needed.
Import or record a voicemail. On-device speech recognition transcribes the audio and flags voice-cloning indicators in the transcript.
Enter a suspicious URL and ScamRadar captures the page in a hardened off-screen WebView. OCR extracts the text, the classifier runs, and Google Safe Browsing checks for known threats — all on-device.
Every scanned URL gets a diagnostic card showing domain anatomy, redirect chains, and risk signals — so you can see exactly why a link is dangerous.
One-tap export of a verdict card as an image — choose from three themes (Minimal, Bold Alert, Educational). Perfect for warning family in group chats.
Scan any text from any app without opening ScamRadar. Share text, screenshots, or links directly via Android's share sheet and get an instant overlay verdict.
A Material You home screen widget that adapts to your wallpaper colors, plus a Quick Settings tile — scan in one swipe from anywhere on your phone.
A daily feed of trending scam alerts, new patterns, and safety tips in the Today tab — powered by Remote Config so content stays fresh without app updates.
Test your scam-detection skills with a daily interactive quiz. Build a streak, earn badges, and learn to spot scams on your own.
Track your scanning habits with local-only stats: total scans, streaks, scam types encountered, and achievement badges. Gamify your safety.
Report scams anonymously to help others stay safe. Browse a trending feed of the latest scams reported by the community — sanitized on-device, no personal data ever leaves your phone.
Sign in, then connect with family using a simple code or QR. Membership is tied to your account so it survives reinstalls. Only Family-plan subscribers can host a pod; joining is free and covers up to 7 relatives — automatically, live, tied to the organizer's active subscription. When someone in your family group scans a scam, everyone gets notified.
One toggle unlocks a simpler-layout, 24pt+ text, ad-free UX with spoken Text-to-Speech verdicts ("Stop. This looks like a scam.") and a large "Call my family" emergency button wired to your relative.
Browse the 12 most common scam patterns of 2026 with real annotated examples. Learn to spot scams on your own — knowledge is the best defense.
Your last 50 scans, stored locally on your device. Filter by verdict, delete anytime, and never synced anywhere. Your history, your control.
Available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German — with Hindi and Chinese coming soon. Scam protection for everyone.
On-device scanning of incoming notifications from Messages, WhatsApp, Signal, Gmail, Outlook and more. Stage 1 Lite filter on every notification; Stage 2 Gemma AI confirms anything not confidently safe. Off by default; you choose which apps.
Copy a sketchy link or phone number and ScamRadar offers a one-tap check. Tap an unfamiliar URL and we run the classifier first, showing the verdict before your browser opens.
Stepped checklist per scam type — freeze cards, change passwords, contact your carrier, file an authority report, preserve evidence. Resumable across sessions. Export a one-page Incident Report PDF for bank disputes.
Pre-filled deep links to FTC, IC3, BBB, Action Fraud (UK), Scamwatch (AU), CAFC (Canada), Cybercrime.gov.in, and the 7726 carrier-spam short code — auto-selected for your region and scam type.
Export a ZIP bundle of the original message, redacted version, classifier verdict, screenshots, and a summary — designed for bank disputes and police reports.
Anti-deepfake. Any pod member can send a cryptographically signed "It's really me" link. When you tap it, ScamRadar verifies the signature against your pod and shows "✓ Verified from MOM" — or rejects the link if tampered.
Pod organizers get a Monday-morning summary: "Mom ran 14 scans this week, 2 likely scams caught (USPS, IRS). Streak: 12 days." Aggregated anonymously — no message content ever leaves devices.
Help a relative on the phone. Generate a QR with their pod join + Care Mode + your number as emergency contact, hand them the QR, they scan and confirm — done in one tap.
When a scam type spikes in your country, ScamRadar pushes a one-line alert: "FedEx delivery scam trending — here's what to watch for." Region-only data (no PII), throttled to 1 per type per week.
A Glance + Material You widget showing today's brief headline and the daily quiz — tap an answer right from the home screen without opening the app.

ScamRadar was designed from the ground up so that your messages never leave your phone. Not sometimes. Never.

Scan content is never sent to any server. Analytics track only anonymous interaction events — no message content, ever.
Your scan history is stored on your device and deletable at any time. It is never synced or backed up anywhere.
Only INTERNET at install. Optional permissions for screenshot OCR and voicemail are requested in-context, with plain-language explanations.
Open source on GitHub. Inspect the code yourself. Every network call is transparent and documented.
