See through the narrative. PsyOp Detector scores news events for manipulation tactics and tracks psyop patterns over time — all private, all on your device. PsyOp Detector — See the manipulation hiding in plain sight. Every day you're targeted by messages engineered to bypass your judgment: outrage-bait headlines, manufactured urgency, and narratives designed to make you react before you think. PsyOp Detector gives you a structured way to slow down and examine how a story is trying to move you. A real analytical framework — not a hot take Score any media event against the 20-indicator NCI Scoring System. Work through each indicator — from emotional triggering and manufactured consensus to source opacity and wedge framing — and get a composite score showing how strongly the event fits the pattern of a coordinated narrative operation. Short on time? Quick Triage gives you a fast five-indicator read in under a minute. Check your own bias, too Before you finalize a full analysis, the Steelman Check challenges you with counter-narrative prompts — because good analysis means testing your conclusions, not just confirming them. The Calibration Challenge and Training Quiz sharpen your judgment over time, and a daily micro-lesson teaches one indicator at a time. Track patterns over time Every full analysis is saved to your private history. Review past assessments, watch trends emerge across sources and topics, group related events into case files, and surface insights from your own record. The more you analyze, the sharper your instincts become. Level up as an analyst Earn XP, climb the Analyst Ranks, unlock achievements, and keep your weekly streak alive. Media literacy is a skill — this app helps you train it. Why it matters Media literacy isn't about being cynical — it's about being deliberate. PsyOp Detector doesn't tell you what to think. It gives you a disciplined framework for asking the right questions, then leaves the conclusion to you. Your data stays on your device PsyOp Detector is built privacy-first. Your assessments, scores, notes, and history are stored locally on your device. There are no accounts, no cloud sync, no analytics, no advertising identifiers, and no tracking. The only network activity is the optional in-app feedback form — and that's only if you choose to send us a message. Camera, photos & location: the app does not request or use your camera, microphone, photo library, or location. Deleting your data: your analyses live only on your device. Clear your history in the app, or delete the app to remove everything permanently. Built-in backup export lets you save and restore your data on your own terms. Spot the psyop before it spots you. Think before you share.

What's New in Version 1.4.0 Never lose an analysis again. Your in-progress analysis is now protected everywhere. Start a new analysis from any screen — Case Files, Progress, a case's detail page, or your results — and if you have unfinished work, the app asks first and lets you pick up right where you left off, down to the exact question. Calmer by design. Turn on Reduce Motion and the entire app respects it — badge and rank-up celebrations appear instantly and stay perfectly still, with no fades, slides, or pops. Same recognition, zero distraction. Celebrations that feel right. Tap a badge notification and it now takes you straight to that badge, spotlighted on your Progress screen — even a second time. And if you reset your data and re-earn a rank, you get the full celebration all over again. Smarter feedback delivery. Feedback you write while offline now sends itself automatically the next time you open the app — no tap needed. Spotty connection? The app tells you honestly what was sent and keeps the rest safely saved. Bulletproof backups. Restoring a backup now brings back everything — your analyses, case files, analyst rank and XP, weekly streaks, theme, and haptics preferences. Damaged or tampered backup files are handled gracefully: whatever's valid restores, and nothing corrupt can sneak into your Case Files. You'll know if something's wrong. If your device ever fails to save your data, the app warns you immediately — and now also catches the rare case where deleted data could reappear.
