Do I need to be technical?

No. The app was written for the person who forwards the family's suspicious messages and asks "is this real?" — plain language, no jargon, no exam prep.

What devices does it work on?

Any modern browser — phone, tablet or computer. It installs like an app and keeps working offline after your first sign-in.

Is there an iPhone or Android app?

Cyber Basics installs from the browser instead. On iPhone, open it in Safari and tap Share, then Add to Home Screen; on Android, tap Install when Chrome offers it. You get a home-screen icon and full offline use, with nothing to download from a store.

How long does it take?

One round a day takes about two minutes. Each study brief is a few minutes' read. The habits build from showing up, not from marathons.

Cyber Basics — stay safe online

What's inside ↓

Practice the four habits of staying safe online.

Cyber Basics is a practice app, not a lecture. Short drills teach you to recognise phishing, use strong passwords, turn on a second sign-in step, and keep your software updated — the four habits behind almost every piece of good security advice. Anything you get wrong comes back later, until you get it right.

A real Spot the Scam round in Cyber Basics, asking what makes a QR code useful to a scammer

Three levels, from first steps to family defender

Level 1 — The basics. The vocabulary, the scam messages, the three-second address check, the phone scripts. Study briefs you can read in minutes, each with its own drill.

Level 2 — Advanced Cyber Knowledge. Stronger sign-ins, the recovery doors attackers actually use, and what to do in the aftermath when a company leaks your details.

Level 3 — Super Cyber. Your devices, your router, your backups — and the people you protect: the family code word, helping without opening doors, and the traces your public life leaves behind.

Labs that feel like the real thing

Practice on the surfaces where scams actually arrive: a full inbox to triage, web addresses under the microscope, scam calls written out line by line, push alerts and lock-screen texts that want a reflex tap, and your own public trail read the way a stranger reads it. A parking-ticket QR code that leads somewhere else, a cloned voice on the phone claiming to be a grandchild, a "your package couldn't be delivered" text — the current shapes scams actually take, not a list from a textbook. Every message is an invented example built for practice — never a real person's story.

Lovely to use, in four languages

Every study brief is narrated in the app's own recorded voice — English, Spanish, Russian and Kazakh, one designed voice throughout.
Works offline once you're signed in; installs to your home screen.
No ads, no cross-site tracking — your progress lives in your browser, and the app asks for nothing but an email to sign you in.
Badges you earn by doing, streaks that reward coming back, and a no-clock check that shows which habit deserves your next ten minutes.

Simple pricing

$12 a year — about a dollar a month. Beta launch: 50% off your first year (that's $6) through December 1, 2026. For comparison, identity-theft protection services typically charge $10–30 a month for a similar "protect your family" promise — this is a year of practice for less than one month of that. Cancel any time from your account; there's a 14-day no-questions refund. Payment is handled by Polar.sh. Not offered in the EU, EEA or UK.

Protecting more than yourself? The family plan covers up to three people — everyone signs in with their own email, no shared password — for $24 a year, about $8 each. Add family members any time after subscribing, from your account.

Already a subscriber? Refer a friend from your account and they get 50% off, permanently — not just during the beta. You get 50% off your own next renewal once they subscribe, too.

Install it on your phone — no app store needed

Cyber Basics installs straight from the browser. You get a home-screen icon, a full screen with no address bar, and drills that keep working on a plane or underground — once you have signed in once, it does not need the network again.
