Wolf

Security

Last updated October 3, 2026.

Wolf reads things that matter to you, so protecting them is the first thing we design for. This page explains, in plain terms, how that works.

Your own Wolf, walled off

Sharing only what you choose

Sensitive information

Encryption and storage

Signing in

Texts that can be faked

Plain SMS texts can be faked to look like they came from someone else's number. If a number that uses iMessage suddenly sends a plain SMS, Wolf treats it as untrusted and won't act on that person's accounts from it.

Who can access the server

A very small number of people who run Wolf can access its server, only to keep it running and safe. We don't read your messages, email or family chats. Our logs record events and the last four digits of a number, never what you wrote.

Testing ourselves

We try to break Wolf's walls ourselves: planted fake secrets that no Wolf should ever see, automatic checks that every Wolf's settings are locked down, and reviews of anything that crosses between people. When we find a problem, we fix it first and close the gap before adding features.

If something goes wrong

If your information is ever exposed, we will tell you promptly, explain what happened and what we did about it, and tell any authorities the law requires.

Report a problem

Found a security issue? Email [email protected]. We read every report, reply quickly, and won't pursue anyone who reports in good faith, doesn't access other people's information, and gives us time to fix it.
