Launching Sep 28

Glance is the gatekeeper for the people you love, when an AI alone is not enough.

Your mom gets a quiet inbox. You get a tap on the shoulder if something looks wrong.

How it works

Three things happen before
any email reaches you.

Glance sits between your mail provider and your inbox. The first line of defense is math; the second is a person you trust.

01 — ARRIVE

Every message is inspected.

Headers, sending history, domain age, DMARC, DKIM. We classify the envelope in under 40 milliseconds. Bodies stay encrypted at rest — and never leave your provider unread.

Apple Security

LOOK-ALIKE
02 — DECIDE

Known senders pass silently.

Your bank, your school, your aunt Jean — the people and services you've always corresponded with walk straight through. You won't feel us there.

3m
03 — ASK

Unknowns wait for a Companion.

Something you've never seen before? We ask a Companion (a trusted person you choose to approve unfamiliar emails on your behalf) — with a one-line summary, never the body. Approvals take seconds and last forever.

Glance · Unknown sender wrote to Mom: "Marcus (contractor) — deposit for kitchen job." Safe?
Yes — he's real. Let it through.
What makes it different

Built on the promise we
can't read your mail.

Zero-knowledge by design.

Envelopes only. Bodies are encrypted with keys we don't hold. Even a subpoena gets nothing readable.

Circle of Trust.

Assign one or more Companions — a partner, a child, a sibling. They approve unknowns, never see your inbox.

One-line summaries.

When a Companion is asked, they see who and why — not the content. "A person. Asking for money. Unfamiliar domain."

Revert anything.

Every decision is reversible. Blocked the right email by mistake? One tap brings it back — Glance remembers for next time.

Works through text.

Companions don't install anything. Approvals arrive as a plain SMS — Yes or No is all that's needed.

Learns the whole family.

Each sender rule sticks per-person. Mom's verdict on "Aunt Jean" doesn't leak into Dad's inbox.

Why Glance is different

What no AI can do alone.

The combination that neither Abnormal nor Apple Intelligence can replicate.

Trusted humans, not just trusted models.

A real person you love can sign off on the unfamiliar email. Apple Intelligence cannot do this. Abnormal cannot do this. Sublime cannot do this.

Your inbox, on your device.

Sub-50ms LightGBM + ONNX scanning runs locally — no cloud round-trip. Zero-knowledge by architecture, not by promise. Even a subpoena gets nothing readable.

Stronger together.

Every approval makes the household — and the network — safer. Crowd-sourced reputation means a scam stopped for one family is stopped for thousands.

For seniors at risk: a Companion who keeps the scammers out.

For busy professionals: a bouncer who keeps the AI-noise out.

For families: the trust graph that connects them safely.

Our Promise

Our Promise: the things we don't do.

In a market full of vague claims, here is the contract we operate under. Plain language, no legal hedging.

  • We never sell, rent, or broker your personal data.

  • We never see, store, or transmit your passwords.

  • We never train generative AI models on your private conversations.

  • We never connect directly to your bank accounts.

  • We don't use manipulative dark patterns to trap you in subscriptions.

  • We never read your text messages, emails, or personal communications.

"My mother has gotten eighteen fake-IRS emails this year. Glance stopped every single one — and the two real messages from her doctor walked right through. I slept through the night for the first time in months."
