Field notes
The described workflow routes messages from contacts, replied-to threads, and one-time codes past the screener; other unknown senders are assessed before appearing in the inbox. The page says users can inspect the Screened tab, see a score and explanation, and restore a message without deleting it on arrival. It reports a 54,274-message test corpus and says the current app makes no network connections; these are claims presented by the site, not independently verified here.
