About | InboxGuard

About · Built by one person, for the people he loves

I built InboxGuard so the people I love would stop getting scammed by email.

Phishing used to be easy to spot. AI made it fluent. I kept watching people around me almost fall for scams — so I built the thing I wished had been watching their inbox with them.

The real reason

Phishing is now a $12.5 billion problem.

And the people hit hardest are the ones with the least protection.

AI has made phishing emails nearly indistinguishable from the real thing. The typos and broken logos are gone — what’s left fools smart, careful people every day.

The tools that should catch this either cost more than a family will pay, or hide behind a “call sales” form. If someone can’t sign up in two minutes, the product doesn’t exist for them.

I built InboxGuard to close that gap — real protection, priced for real people.

A second pair of eyes on every incoming email. It doesn’t replace your judgement — it just buys you the thirty seconds to think. The mailbox stays exactly as you left it; we only add a label so you know what the verdict was.

What we believe

Five principles, in order of how much they’d annoy you if we broke them.

Your email is yours

We never sell it. It’s never used to train any AI model. Ever.

Verdicts explain themselves

Every flag comes with a plain-English reason. No black boxes — you can always see why.

Small-team pricing

No ‘call sales’ gate for individuals or families. Honest prices, listed in public.

Advisory, never destructive

We flag. You decide. Nothing in your mailbox moves, hides, or disappears without you.

Easy in, easier out

One click to connect. One click to export everything. One click to delete it all.

Why this exists

Three things were true, and none of them were going to fix themselves.

01 · The scams got better

AI made phishing cheap and fluent.

The typos are gone. The broken logos are gone. The giveaway phrases are gone. What used to be a ten-second “obviously fake” is now a thirty-minute research project.

02 · The tools got worse

Spam filters haven’t kept up.

Spam filtering is great at bulk junk. It misses the targeted ones — the ones written specifically for your job title, your bank, or your family.

03 · The good stuff was gated

Enterprise security won’t sell to individuals.

The platforms that do catch this stuff start at several thousand pounds a seat and require an IT team to deploy. Families don’t get any of that.

How we’re different

Not in ten ways. Just a few that actually matter.

Works the moment you connect

No rules to write, no filters to configure, no training period. Connect your email and protection starts immediately.

Read-only, always

We never move, archive, or delete your mail. Flags are visible as labels; you decide what to do.

Your mail never trains a model

We only use AI providers whose API terms prohibit training on customer data. Your email content is processed and discarded — never stored for training.

Priced for everyone

Families and individuals first. Professional and Enterprise exist for larger needs, but the sign-up flow never asks for a phone call.

What early users say

Real users, real words.

I get invoices and payment links all day. InboxGuard flagged one last week that looked completely legit — turned out the domain was one letter off. Would’ve cost me thousands.

I don’t know anything about cybersecurity. I just know I was getting dodgy emails and now something tells me which ones are actually dodgy. That’s all I needed.

I get so many scam emails I’d just stopped opening half of them. Now I actually know which ones are safe. Less stress, fewer tabs open trying to Google if something’s legit.
