How Fompi protects you

November 3, 2026

What Fompi watches for, what it shows you when it speaks up, and why it runs on your computer instead of in the cloud.

People ask what Fompi does once it’s installed. Here’s the plain version.

It watches for the moment, not the file

Antivirus looks for known bad files. Fompi watches for the moments when someone is walking you into a scam: a page that copies a command and asks you to run it; a remote access app that “support” talks you into installing during a call; a download that isn’t what its name says. Downloads Check is off until you turn it on. Fompi for Chrome, on its way to the Chrome Web Store, will warn about fake pages and lookalike sign-ins right in the browser.

A page wants a command run in Terminal.

It stays on your computer

Fompi’s checks run on your computer. Nothing it sees is uploaded to study you, build a profile or train a model. Fompi Free sends us nothing at all. The Pro trial and Fompi Pro send only what an account needs, your email address and the computer’s name, and never what Fompi sees.

It says what it saw, not what it guesses

When Fompi flags something, it lists what it noticed and what to do next. When it finds nothing, it says so and adds that this isn’t a guarantee, because no tool can promise a link is harmless. Not sure about a link or a message? Paste it into Check.

A familiar name on someone else’s address.

Quiet until it matters

If there’s nothing to say, Fompi says nothing. No daily check-ins, no ads. When it does speak up, it’s short, specific and about something happening right now.

Most days, this is all you’ll see.

A security companion that helps in the moment.

One app for your computer, with protection for Chrome built in. Everything it checks stays on your computer. Protection against attackers is free. AI privacy tools are part of Fompi Pro.

Also on Windows

Download started

Fompi is downloading.

Three steps to open it. This early version isn’t signed yet, so your Mac asks you to confirm it once.

  1. Open Fompi-Mac.dmg from your Downloads.

  2. Drag Fompi into your Applications folder.

  3. Open Fompi. If macOS says it can’t check it, go to System Settings, Privacy & Security, and click Open Anyway.

Fompi for Chrome comes with its Web Store listing. Until then, skip the Chrome step during setup.
