Plant the trap
Pick a secret people ask about — your salary, your new flame, your big move. Give each friend a different detail. The app generates the variations for you.
→ Alex hears €4,600
→ Ioana hears €4,400
Tell each friend a slightly different version of the same secret. When it comes back to you, Gossip Finder matches the details and tells you exactly who talked.
psst — not on the stores yet. drop your email and be first in line.
Intelligence agencies call it a canary trap. We call it finally knowing which of your friends can't keep a secret.
Pick a secret people ask about — your salary, your new flame, your big move. Give each friend a different detail. The app generates the variations for you.
Who heard what is sealed in an encrypted vault on your phone, behind Face ID or your PIN. Then you do absolutely nothing. The trap does the waiting.
Weeks later someone says “heard you're making €4,600 now…” — log it. The app matches the detail to the only person who ever heard it.
Face ID, Touch ID or a 6-digit PIN. Encrypted local database. A 12-word recovery phrase if you ever forget.
Every friend earns a live trust score. Watch it climb for the vault-keepers and crater for the megaphones.
The app invents unique, natural-sounding variations per friend — or write your own custom bait.
A chronological story of every trap planted and every leak caught. Your friendships, documented.
Import friends straight from your contacts, organize them into circles — work, family, the group chat.
From “First Trap” to “Trust Detective”. Catching leakers shouldn't be joyless.
Gossip Finder is local-only by design. We couldn't read your data even if we wanted to — and we really don't want to.
No cloud, no servers. Your traps, friends and leaks live in an encrypted database on your phone. Nothing is ever uploaded, anywhere.
No accounts. No email, no sign-up, no password resets. The app doesn't know who you are.
No analytics, no tracking. Zero third-party SDKs watching you. Our privacy manifest is embarrassingly short.
No way for us to peek. Encrypted exports only you can open. Even your contacts are read locally and never leave the device.
// the only person who knows who leaked your secrets… is you. read the full privacy policy.
It's your secret — you choose who hears what. Gossip Finder doesn't spy on anyone, record anyone, or touch anyone else's data. It just helps you remember which version you told to whom, and connect the dots when one comes back. The canary trap is as old as diplomacy; we just made it cute.
Your data is encrypted and locked behind your PIN or biometrics, so whoever finds the phone finds nothing. You can also create an encrypted export as a backup. Your 12-word recovery phrase lets you reset your PIN if you forget it.
In an encrypted SQLite database on your device, protected by keys stored in the iOS Keychain / Android Keystore. There is no server. Delete the app and the data is gone.
No. Nothing is shared with anyone. Whether you ever tell Alex how you caught him is entirely between you and Alex.
€3.99 / $4.99, once. Everything included, forever — no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no ads for catching your leaky friends.
Twenty-three files on trust, secrets and the people who can't keep them — from Cold War tradecraft to the group chat. See all →
The full method: why confrontation fails, what a canary trap is, how to run one in a friendship, and how to read the result.
The observable signals — and, just as important, what each one is not evidence of.
Spies had been running the canary trap for decades before Patriot Games gave it a name.
