Peri stops scams before money moves.
A friendly pear that lives in your phone. She reads your messages aloud, calls whoever you ask, and when something smells like a scam she checks with your real family before you lose a cent.
- Android 12 or later
- English and Spanish
- Rules run on the phone
Hello! I’m Peri. Tap me!
Scams isolate and rush. Peri breaks both.
Scammers cut people off from the ones they’d ask, and push them to act now. Voice assistants can call and read but don’t judge; spam filters warn about everything or nothing. Peri checks through a second channel: the real family member, at the number already saved.
“Mum, I broke my phone, this is my new number, can you send me money?”
“Your bank here: read me the code you just got.”
Three layers between a scammer and your money
1She reads every message as it arrives
SMS, WhatsApp and email are checked on the phone the moment they land. Calls from numbers you haven’t saved are flagged before you pick up.
2Hard rules no model can override
A code arriving during a call is a scam, full stop. Look-alike bank links and links without a padlock always get a warning, even from family.
3She checks with your real family
Before anything risky, Peri calls the real person at the number already saved. One spoken “yes” and she dials.
Scam or not?
The game from Peri’s Learn section, with the app’s own messages. Five messages: you decide, Peri explains.
I’ll show you some messages. You decide if they’re a trap.
Links here are pretend: tapping them does nothing.
What Peri does when it matters
“I have a new number”
An unknown number claims to be the daughter and asks for money. Peri warns, finds the real daughter in the contacts and offers to call her.
If you say yes, I’ll call Laura.
“Grandma, it’s Pablo”
A stranger rings. Before pickup Peri says not to give money or codes. After the call she checks: that number isn’t Pablo’s.
Shall I call Pablo on their usual number to check?
A one-time code arrives
While on the phone, an SMS with a code comes in. A hard rule fires at once, and the code is never read aloud.
Nobody genuine will ask for it, so hang up and don’t tell anyone.
A double-check, not surveillance
Risky actions wait for a guardian. Each one gets a one-time link, valid for 15 minutes, with three answers. Silence counts as no.
- Flagged URGENT if a stranger just called; it never says who or what.
- The riskiest requests need two guardians’ yes, and a single no stops them.
- If the guardian has FriendlyPear too, it opens Peri to Peri in their own app.
A friend people want to keep
Nine moods in soft clay, her own world that follows the hour and the season, a game to learn the traps, and big type in Fredoka and Atkinson Hyperlegible.
Built to be hard to abuse
- The family never reads messages, calls, location or apps.
- A yes needs the phone’s own lock, and every phone is paired in person with its own key.
- Fake “Peri” texts are caught; scam messages are never read aloud.
- Pictures you show her are never stored.
- A “What Peri can do” screen lists every permission, how to switch it off, and a log of everything she did.
