Features

Everything Lysena checks, and how. Some features differ between Android and iPhone, because they depend on what the system allows.

The screens are a preview: the app is in development.

How Lysena checks

  • Artificial intelligence

    It reads messages the way an attentive person would and recognizes scams, even when they are worded in a new way.

  • Precise checks

    Everything else needs no AI: Lysena compares websites with lists of dangerous addresses and checks app permissions, the Wi‑Fi network and your phone’s settings.

Everything happens on your phone and Lysena works offline. Cloud services only come in if you turn them on, for extras like the Family group.

Scam filter for messages

Recognizes scam texts, messages and emails: parcels on hold, fake banks, prizes to collect. It warns you and blocks the link. If you have doubts about a message or an email, share it and choose “Check with Lysena”.

Android
Reads the notifications of messages and emails (sender, subject and first lines), with your permission. It checks a whole email when you share it.
iPhone
Filters texts from unknown senders. It checks emails and other messages when you share them, because iOS does not let apps read notifications.

Web protection

Blocks phishing and malware websites before they open, using up-to-date lists downloaded to your phone. If a link looks doubtful you can open it in safe mode: you see the page, but without JavaScript, downloads or cookies.

Android
Across the whole phone, with a local VPN: your traffic does not go through us.
iPhone
Inside Safari, with a content blocker. Safe mode opens when you share the link with Lysena.

App check

Android only

Flags apps installed outside the store and apps that ask for too many permissions, like a flashlight that wants to read your texts.

Android
List of apps and their permissions.
iPhone
Not available: iOS does not let apps see the other installed apps.

Wi‑Fi check

Warns you about open or weakly protected networks and suggests avoiding payments while you are connected.

Android
Network status and security type.
iPhone
With location permission, which iOS requires to read the network.

Security updates

Tells you when a security update comes out for your phone and what it fixes: how many vulnerabilities, and whether any are already used in attacks. It does the same for the most common apps, like browsers and messaging. Lysena downloads the full official bulletins and compares on your phone: no server knows which phone you have.

Android
System patches, Google Play updates and the most common apps, from the Android security bulletins.
iPhone
iOS version and available updates, from Apple’s security bulletins. Other apps are not visible.

Phone check-up

Checks screen lock, security updates and risky settings, with practical advice.

Android
Screen lock, updates, USB debugging.
iPhone
Passcode and iOS version.

Activity log

The “What Lysena did” screen shows every check and every alert. The log is encrypted and stays on your phone.

Android
Yes.
iPhone
Yes.

AI on your phone

The model that understands your messages runs on your phone. You pick it the first time you open Lysena, and from then on it works offline.

  1. Pick the model

    Lysena suggests the one that suits your phone.

  2. Download it once

    About 1–3 GB, best over Wi‑Fi.

  3. Lysena checks it

    It makes sure the file is the original before using it.

  4. Works offline

    Checks need no internet: everything stays on your phone.

Coming soon

  • Coming soon

    Assistant

    A chat with Lysena to ask for advice and have it act in your apps. Every action is shown to you first and only runs once you confirm.

  • Coming soon

    Family group

    Get alerts from your family’s phones. Only events are shared, never messages, and everything is encrypted from one phone to another.

  • Coming soon

    Scam alerts

    Short warnings about scams going around, from official sources like the Italian Postal Police and CERT-AgID, with what to do. No alarmism, and no tracking of what you read.

Try Lysena before everyone else

We are looking for people who will use Lysena every day and tell us what works. Parents and people who are not into technology are very welcome.
