Simple, respectful tools to help you — and the people you love — spot and avoid phishing scams. No accounts, no data collection, and completely free.
See what we've built ↓PhishFoe is a passion project built and maintained by a solo developer. The mission is to help everyday people feel more confident and secure online by creating tools that respect their intelligence, their time, and their privacy.
We believe the best defense against scams is education that builds lasting intuition and tools that provide clarity in the moment of doubt. Everything we build runs on your device, stays on your device, and is completely free.
Scams target everyone, but they are hitting our most connected and vulnerable populations the hardest. The numbers aren't abstract. Each one is a person who was hurt, confused, and often too embarrassed to tell anyone.

At the same time, the people most at risk are more digitally connected than ever. 90% of adults 50+ own a smartphone. Nine in ten use social media. Eight in ten stream video weekly. They're online, engaged, and exposed — and built-in email filters catch only the obvious attacks.
The tools that help most aren't the ones that add another friction layer. They're the ones that build awareness, teach pattern recognition, and give people confidence when something feels off.
Two tools that work together: one that teaches you to spot scams over time, and one that helps in the moment.
A self-paced phishing education app. Practice with 135+ realistic scam scenarios — fake emails, texts, and calls — and build real pattern recognition skills. Get instant feedback after every answer, and explore the Scamopedia, a plain-English encyclopedia of common scams.
