Stop scam emails before they reach the people you love.

Tutelary watches Gmail for scams around the clock and alerts a trusted contact within minutes if something looks wrong. No jargon, no dashboard to babysit.

One-time setup. Continual protection.

Four things Tutelary handles automatically, so you can worry less.

Watches your Gmail

Scans incoming email for scam and phishing patterns — no forwarding, no copying your inbox elsewhere.

Alerts who matters

Add a trusted contact and they're notified within minutes — built for families looking out for each other.

Secure by default

Passkeys, phone verification, and magic-link sign-in lock down your account — on every plan.

Built for peace of mind

Every plan gets the same detection quality — tiers scale with how many people you protect, not with protection quality.

Not another spam filter

Gmail's spam filter is generic — one bucket, no explanation, nobody else notified. Enterprise tools like Proofpoint and Mimecast are built for IT departments, not individuals. Tutelary is built for personal inboxes: a clear risk rating, a trusted contact kept in the loop, and pricing that isn't enterprise-scale.

See it in action

The flagged-email view mirrors a screen already built in-app; the trusted-contact alert is a concept for what's next, not a finished screen.

What you see

What your trusted contact sees (concept)

Every risk level is shown with a text label and icon shape, never color alone — built for low-vision and colorblind users from day one.

One price for peace of mind — no matter how many people you protect

Every plan runs the same detection engine and the same account security. You only pay more when you're watching over more people.

Frequently asked questions

The details that matter when you're trusting a service with your inbox.

Does Tutelary read all of my email?

Tutelary requests Gmail API access (gmail.readonly/gmail.modify) to scan incoming messages, plus a 30-day backfill for context. It doesn't forward mail elsewhere, and staff don't have routine access to message content — access exists to run detection, not to browse your inbox.

How does the detection actually work?

Every message is scored with rule-based detection plus sender and link reputation checks (Google Web Risk, AbstractAPI). Flagged emails trigger a trusted-contact alert, typically within minutes — Tutelary polls your inbox on a short interval rather than once a day.

Can my trusted contact see my whole inbox?

No. A trusted contact only sees what you consent to share; higher access levels require a separate consent step. Every view of your flagged-email data is logged, and you can revoke access anytime.

What happens when my free trial ends?

Trials run 14 days with Basic-tier features, regardless of the plan you pick. A card is required up front, and billing starts automatically if you don't cancel first.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes — cancellation is self-service, no phone call or retention pitch required.

Do you sell my data?

No. We only share data with the vendors needed to run the service — Google, Stripe, SendGrid, Twilio, and our threat-reputation providers — never for resale or advertising.

What happens to my data if I delete my account?

Deletion requests are honored within 30 days. Gmail OAuth tokens are deleted immediately on disconnect; some de-identified data may be kept briefly for service integrity, never to identify you.

A full privacy policy, reviewed by legal counsel, will be published before launch.
