PsyOp Detector

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.

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.
