WhatsGuard for everyday users and families

WhatsApp can wait.
Take a breath.

Free software reviews WhatsApp messages using AI on your computer.

A second pair of eyes.

Download WhatsGuard, scan a QR code to link WhatsApp, and keep it running. Local AI checks incoming messages and links for warning signs.

For Apple Silicon Macs. WhatsApp and the initial model download need internet. Routine analysis runs locally.

Warnings can be wrong. Always verify before acting.

Before you click, check.

Pause

An urgent payment request, unfamiliar link or request for a login code deserves a moment.

Verify

Contact the person through a number you already trust. Open the organisation’s official app or website yourself.

Ask

Talk to someone you trust. You do not need to work it out alone.

“Let’s check it together.”

Try this when helping someone you care about. Ask permission before looking at their messages. Let them decide what to share and what to do next.

Being targeted is no reason for shame. If something has already happened, begin with listening.

You can help someone else.
