Hunch: scam & phishing protection for your messages

Hunch warns you about scams, phishing, and risky links in your LinkedIn, Facebook, WhatsApp, and email messages, right where you read them.

Catches scams as you readA clear warning appears on a risky message before you click a link or reply.
Runs on your deviceMessage text is checked on your computer. Nothing is stored, and nothing is sent anywhere for the basic check.

Where it works

LinkedIn, Gmail, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp Web.

Your privacy, in plain words

The scam check runs on your device. A few things leave it, and only then: shortened links (the link only), and up to 300 characters of a message for the optional AI checks, when you tap "Explain", automatically for the LinkedIn first-message check (on by default, off in Settings), and if you turn on the optional automatic AI scan. It is never stored. If you forward a message to the Telegram bot (t.me/askhunch_bot) or the email check ([email protected]), it reaches our server, is checked, and then deleted, never stored and never sent to any outside AI.
