Comms Guard
Every word can be Exhibit A. Send accordingly.
When you're communicating with a hostile ex under legal scrutiny, the message you write at your angriest moment can follow you for years. Comms Guard gives you an AI-assisted second opinion before you hit send — then keeps a timestamped log of what you actually sent.
One-sided by design: works whatever the other party uses. They never have to join.

What it does
A calm co-pilot for the hardest conversations of your life.
Compose & check
Write your message; AI reviews it for tone, escalation, admissions, ambiguity, and oversharing — with severity-flagged feedback and a suggested rewrite using the BIFF method: Brief, Informative, Friendly, Firm. You edit, you decide, you send.
Reply to what they sent
Paste a message you received and log it to that person's thread. When you draft a reply, the AI uses what they sent as context, flags it when your reply takes the bait, and suggests a measured version for you to edit. Provocation works less well on someone with a co-pilot.
Dated log of what you sent
Click Log as sent and the message is saved to that person's thread with its date and time, next to what they sent you. Export the thread as a numbered message log whenever you need it — months of documented schedule refusals, in order.
Works on any channel
Compose and check here, then copy and send by text, email — even through OurFamilyWizard if your court ordered it. No platform lock-in, no waiting for the other side to download anything.
Built with safety in mind
Nothing is ever sent from the app — you copy and send it yourself. Two-factor sign-in, one-click sign-out of every device, and records that stay private until you share them — following NNEDV-style safety design for users whose devices may be watched.
Feeds your message log
Logged messages are saved to that person’s thread in Message Extractor, dated and searchable, and go into the numbered message log whenever you export it.
Why it's different
The other apps need both parents. This one needs only you.
OurFamilyWizard, TalkingParents and AppClose keep a shared record that only works when both parties use the same app, often by court order, and all three are paid subscriptions. Comms Guard is deliberately one-sided: it helps you compose, check, and log, regardless of what the other party uses. Full value from day one, alone.
-
Draft here, at your own pace
No pressure of a live thread. Write it the way you feel it, then let the check round off the edges before anyone sees it.
-
Review the flags
"This could read as hostile in front of a judge." "This admits fault — are you sure?" Plain-language flags, ranked by severity, with a suggested rewrite.
-
Send anywhere, logged here
Copy your final message into any channel. The version you sent, and when, is on the record — yours.
What the AI will — and won't — tell you
Comms Guard flags tone, clarity, and risk patterns. It will never tell you "this will help your case" or "this will hurt you in court" — that's legal judgment, and software shouldn't pretend to have it. AI suggestions are clearly marked, can be wrong, and a human (you) always edits and sends. For advice about your situation, talk to a licensed attorney.

Common questions
Comms Guard FAQ
Does the other parent know I'm using it?
No. Comms Guard works entirely on your side: you draft and check here, then send through whatever channel you normally use. There's nothing for the other party to install, join, or approve — and nothing in your sent messages reveals the tool.
Will it tell me if a message helps or hurts my case?
No — that's a legal judgment, and we stay firmly out of it. The AI flags tone, possible admissions, escalation, and ambiguity in plain language, and suggests calmer phrasing. Whether something matters legally is between you and a licensed attorney.
Does it read my messages automatically?
No. You bring the text to Comms Guard — by composing in it or pasting a received message. It doesn't sit inside your messaging apps, doesn't intercept anything, and doesn't monitor anyone. AI review happens only on what you submit, and it's clearly disclosed in the app.
We're court-ordered to use OurFamilyWizard. Can I still use this?
Yes — that's a common setup. Draft and check your message in Comms Guard, then paste it into OFW (or any ordered platform) to send. You comply with your order and still get the second opinion and your own log. Nothing about Comms Guard replaces or interferes with a court-ordered channel.
The calmest person in the thread usually wins.
