About this app

Scam protection for your whole family. Jacana warns you about online scams before you tap, reply, or send money.

Scams are getting smarter, and AI is making them harder to spot. Fake texts look like your bank. Voice clones sound like family. You shouldn't have to be suspicious of everything just to stay safe. That's Jacana's job.

ALWAYS-ON SCAM PROTECTION
Jacana works quietly in the background, checking your messages, emails, and websites in real time. When something looks off, you get a clear scam alert that explains what's wrong in plain language. No jargon, no constant noise, just a heads-up when it matters. Set it up once and let Jacana do the rest.
- Scam text and messaging detection
- Scam and phishing email detection
- Fake and malicious website blocking
- Works across all your apps: email, messages, social media, and more

STOP IMPERSONATION SCAMS
Someone claiming to be a friend or family member asks for money. Is it really them? Jacana helps you verify the identity of the people you love, so AI voice clones, deepfakes, and impersonation scams don't stand a chance.

PROTECT THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE
Because worrying about them isn't the same as protecting them. Add your parents, grandparents, or kids in a couple of taps and see that everyone is covered from one simple dashboard. One plan, everyone you care about is protected, and nobody needs to become tech support.

CATCHES THE SCAMS THAT MATTER
Package delivery scams, fake toll texts, romance scams, investment scams, tech support scams, gift card scams, bank impersonation and payment app fraud, phishing and smishing. If it's designed to trick you, Jacana is designed to catch it.

SIMPLE BY DESIGN
One app that runs in the background and alerts only when necessary. Real protection shouldn't feel like a chore.

YOUR PRIVACY COMES FIRST
Jacana is digital safety that keeps you in control of what you share. Content is analyzed in real time to keep you safe, and your data is never sold. You decide whether to share data to help improve scam detection, or to share nothing at all. Delete your data anytime, with one tap. No support tickets, no waiting, no "are you sure?" guilt loop.

HOW AUTOSCAN USES ANDROID'S ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE
Autoscan is Jacana's core scam-detection feature, and it requires Android's Accessibility service to work. With your permission, Jacana uses this service to read the text on your screen and take a screenshot, in whatever app you're using, so it can warn you in real time if something looks like a scam. Jacana does not use Accessibility service to change your settings, disable other apps, or work around Android's privacy controls. You can turn off Autoscan and revoke Accessibility access anytime in Android Settings.
