Coming to iPhone
Spam filtering for your texts.

Be an early tester.
Klar for Messages opens to early testers soon. Leave your email and we will tell you the day it does.
How it works
It runs inside Messages, on your phone.
Your iPhone lets an app sort texts from numbers that are not in your Contacts. Klar is that app. It reads the text on the phone, picks where it belongs, and Messages files it there.
Anyone in your Contacts is never touched. Klar only ever sees texts from senders you do not know.
Four places, not one folder
Every text lands where it should.
- Everything else
- A first text from a new number stays in your inbox.
- Transactions
- Verification codes, delivery updates and receipts, kept together.
- Promotions
- Sales and marketing, out of the way but not lost.
- Junk
- Scams and smishing go straight to Junk, out of your inbox.
Try it yourself
See where a text would go.
Paste a message from an unknown sender and Klar shows you where it would put it.
Paste anything and the answer appears at once, without leaving your browser.
Or try one of these
This runs in your browser, no text is sent anywhere, and it is the same filter the iPhone app uses.
The hard cases
It tells a real code from a fake one.
The dangerous texts look almost real: a delivery that needs a small fee, a bank alert, an account about to be locked. Klar is trained on thousands of them and sends them to Junk.
A genuine verification code goes to Transactions. A phishing text that hides a code to steal your login goes to Junk. That difference is the point.
Private by design
Your texts never leave your phone.
Klar reads a text on your iPhone and decides right there. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and there is no server holding your messages. We never see them.
