Phixo was built by a solo founder with a security background, tired of watching smart people fall for phishing emails. I built the tool I wished existed.
Every year, phishing costs individuals and businesses billions of dollars. The attacks have evolved — they are now AI-generated, grammatically perfect, and surgically targeted at specific people. Existing tools were built for a different threat era.
Phixo was created with one goal: give every person with an email inbox the same level of protection that was previously out of reach for most individuals. We built it as a Chrome extension that lives inside your inbox, delivers a verdict in under two seconds, and never retains a single byte of your email content.
Make AI-level phishing protection accessible to everyone — free by default, with no technical knowledge required. Your inbox is the most attacked surface in digital life. It deserves a guardian that works silently, accurately, and with complete respect for your privacy.
Privacy is not a feature — it is the foundation. Phixo scans email content over an encrypted connection, produces a verdict, and discards the content immediately. Nothing is logged. Nothing is stored. Nothing is used to train models. This is not a compromise we made — it is the core design principle from day one.
We built Phixo the way we would want a security tool to treat our own email: zero retention, minimum permissions, and an honest answer every time.
Phixo is built and maintained by one person — a solo founder with a security background, building in public. We prefer to let the product speak for itself — more of the story coming at launch.
