Start private
Sign in with Apple keeps the account boundary familiar while family sharing stays optional.
Where it earns its place
A little distance for the messages that demand a reaction.
Suspicious messages
Paste the words you received or share a screenshot when urgency, pressure, or a strange request makes you pause.
Links and phone numbers
Give a URL or caller number a little distance before you open, call back, reply, or share it.
Content that wants a reaction
See potential fake-news, clickbait, and ragebait signals with a plain-language summary of why they appeared.
A trusted second look
Solo users can keep every case private. Family subscribers can choose which active cases their circle can see.
What is actually in the build
The useful part is not just the label. It is the explanation.
Start with what you have
Paste text, upload a photo or screenshot, submit a link, or enter a phone number from one focused iPhone intake.
Understand the signals
The current analysis looks for fake-news, clickbait, and ragebait potential, then explains the evidence behind each signal.
Share only active cases
An optional Family circle can include up to five connected members who can see who submitted a shared case, acknowledge it, and comment.
The pause loop
Review the signal. Keep your judgment.
Submit the piece that raised a question
TrustCircle reviews only what you choose to submit. It does not monitor calls, messages, accounts, or payments.
Get an assistive second opinion
A server-side OpenAI relay returns potential content signals, evidence excerpts, uncertainty, and a reason summary.
Choose a safer next step
Pause, verify through an official channel, or ask someone you trust. The app is designed to slow down a reaction.
Bring in your circle when useful
Family sharing is opt-in. Active shared cases can become a small conversation with acknowledgement and comments.
A deliberate boundary
Helpful context without pretending to be certain.
It is not a fact-checker, scam detector, or guarantee that content is safe or true.
It does not monitor communications or access financial accounts, contacts, or payments.
The OpenAI API key stays on the relay server; it is not shipped in the iPhone app.
The current build is in private testing. Apple product configuration and physical-device acceptance remain before a public release.
The product shape
Private by default. More useful when someone you trust is nearby.
Solo works
The free scanner is designed for people who want a personal second opinion without inviting anyone else.
Family is opt-in
Family subscribers can connect up to five loved ones through a one-time code and choose which active cases to share.
The circle can respond
Members can see who submitted a shared case, acknowledge it, and leave a supportive comment.
