// Misinformation forensics · offline first
Don't just forward it. Verify it.
Paste the message that landed in your inbox. ForwardCheck returns the red flags, the published fact-checks and the evidence it could find — plus a suggested reply you can send back instead of arguing.
Use an AI model (optional — any provider)
Your key is kept in this browser and sent only with your own checks — it is never stored on the server. Pick any provider above, or leave it off for the instant offline check.
How to read this
Risk is not proof
The red-flag score describes the message — its urgency, its missing source, its scare tactics. Manipulative wording is a strong hint, but only a fact-check or a cited source can settle whether the claim is true. That is why a message with red flags but no evidence is reported as unverified, never as false.
Offline first, better with keys
The heuristic engine, claim extraction and scam detection run with no network and no accounts. Add a fact-check API key, a web-search key or an LLM key and the same report gains published reviews, live sources and multilingual reasoning — each provider that is missing only downgrades its own contribution.
What to do with the answer
Use the suggested reply to answer the person who forwarded it with a source instead of an argument. Never send money, an OTP or a PIN to anyone who reached you through a forward.
ForwardCheck is an aid, not an authority. It can miss context and it can be wrong — check the linked sources yourself before acting on a claim.
