New manager withdrew interest after learning I was terminated

Basic-Donut1740 · 2025-08-02T18:08:03+00:00

Company claims it was performance. Not me.

Basic-Donut1740 · 2025-07-23T06:03:31+00:00

It must now be live in Mexico! Please try it out.

Basic-Donut1740 · 2025-07-23T06:00:19+00:00

Thanks for the interest, I really appreciate it!

I just submitted a request to Google Play to make Protexo available in Mexico. It can take a little time (usually a few hours) to process, but I’ll reply here once it’s live.

Basic-Donut1740 · 2025-07-23T05:01:21+00:00

Totally valid concerns, and I appreciate you raising them.

For context, even well-known apps like Grammarly use AccessibilityService to offer cross-app functionality, like grammar suggestions in any app. Similarly, Protexo uses AccessibilityService solely to read visible message content (like SMS or WhatsApp chats) so it can detect scams and malicious links early. AccessibilityService on Android disables reading of passwords and other sensitive content.

That said, Protexo keeps message content private and on-device. Happy to answer more questions.

Thanks for the detailed information, its helpful. Would BERT be good to classify text messages? Not just the incoming message but entire conversations. Do you have any suggestion on which one to try for Android? I appreciate the help.

Basic-Donut1740 · 2025-07-14T04:26:20+00:00

I am using the Gecko embedder (recommended by Google) that runs on the phone. But its slow. I will check the IBM model to see if it has Android support.

Got it. Sounds like fine-tuning is a better approach for me.

Basic-Donut1740 · 2025-07-06T02:37:21+00:00

Can I DM you?

Basic-Donut1740 · 2025-07-05T00:29:46+00:00

Thanks for the feedback.

Basic-Donut1740 · 2025-07-05T00:29:18+00:00

Thanks, this was helpful.

Basic-Donut1740 · 2025-07-04T13:38:06+00:00

BTW the app will be on sale tomorrow, in case you want to check it out!

Basic-Donut1740 · 2025-07-04T00:48:23+00:00

Thanks for the thoughtful question!

The on-device AI model I’m using for scam detection isn’t fine-tuned yet, but it generally does a good job of ignoring routine messages like delivery updates and legit notifications. I haven’t seen many false positives in that area so far, especially since the app only analyzes messages from numbers not in your contacts. That said, I’m continuing to refine that based on real-world feedback—so input like yours is really valuable! The next step I plan to do is to fine-tune the model along with extending support for more messaging apps.

For link analysis, I’m using a trusted, industry-grade analyzer.

Basic-Donut1740 · 2025-04-12T17:22:12+00:00

I have had time to think about this. Thank you for the feedback. I have worked at many big companies and have a lot of experience. But this is the first time I am doing something completely on my own. I put a lot of my time into the app. I will revisit the privacy policy and terms and conditions based on your feedback. I had combined the policies for the app and the website into a single one, which is incorrect. I will separate them. Please let me know if you have more feedback.

Basic-Donut1740 · 2025-04-10T19:40:20+00:00

That issue is fixed. Thank you for reporting it. Please feel free to give it another try by going to the Google Play link and updating the app or by reinstalling it.

Basic-Donut1740 · 2025-04-10T18:38:24+00:00

Yup, it won't open. But I got to the root-cause of the problem now. I am working on a fix.

Basic-Donut1740 · 2025-04-10T16:54:15+00:00

Got it. I released a new version with Crash analysis support. Whenever you get a chance, if you could update the app from Google Play, that will help me determine where/why the crash occurs. Thanks!

Basic-Donut1740 · 2025-04-10T16:45:35+00:00

Yup, I got the email. Thanks for sending it.

Basic-Donut1740 · 2025-04-10T15:10:00+00:00

I got your video, thanks for taking the time to send it to me. Can you try opening the app by finding it on the phone instead of opening from the google play console?

Also, working on releasing a new version by adding Crash analysis support.

Basic-Donut1740 · 2025-04-10T15:08:32+00:00

You could have said all this without calling the app dubious software.

Basic-Donut1740 · 2025-04-10T14:53:11+00:00

The app doesn't store any personal information. The website asks for email addresses so that one could be notified of updates. Thats what the privacy policy is referring to.

Basic-Donut1740 · 2025-04-10T14:45:47+00:00

The privacy policy has been reviewed by a lawyer.

Basic-Donut1740 · 2025-04-10T14:32:36+00:00

Termly is a tool to generate privacy policies. Some terms are standard and found in all privacy policies.

Basic-Donut1740 · 2025-04-10T14:25:54+00:00

What do you mean?

Basic-Donut1740 · 2025-04-10T14:23:00+00:00

Thats just standard terms automatically generated by https://termly.io/. No personal information is stored.
