Rage Bait support
Stuck? Start here.
Answers to the common questions are below. For anything else, write to hello@pluribuslabs.ai. A person reads every message.
Getting started
How do I use it?
Put the phone where it can hear everyone and tap Start listening. The conversation appears as text. When someone makes a claim that can be checked, the phrase is marked while it is checked, then shows its verdict: Checks out, Sus or Lies. Tap a marked phrase to see why, with sources.
Tap Check to have what was just said checked right away. Tap End to get the tally.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up and nothing to type. The first time you start listening, the app makes an account that belongs to your iPhone and holds your minutes.
Which iPhones does it work on?
iPhones running iOS 26 or later. The first time you open it, the app downloads what it needs to turn speech into text on the phone, about 600 MB, so start on Wi-Fi. Text appears once that has finished.
Do I need everyone's permission?
Yes. Many places require the consent of everyone in a conversation before it is transcribed. Only use Rage Bait where everyone has said yes. The app asks you to confirm this before it listens for the first time.
It says it needs the microphone.
Open the iPhone's Settings, find Rage Bait in the list of apps, and turn on Microphone. Then go back and tap Start listening.
Checks and verdicts
Who checks the claims?
Software does. Checks are automated: Polygraph finds the claims in the text, searches for sources and writes the verdict. No person listens to your conversation. An automated check can be wrong, so every verdict shows the sources it used.
What do the verdicts mean?
Checks out: the sources back it up. Sus: it is partly right, or the sources couldn't back it up either way. Lies: the sources say it is false. A claim is a statement, not a person: someone can be wrong without lying.
It got a verdict wrong. What can I do?
Tap the phrase and read the sources; they are the reason for the verdict. If the sources don't support it, write to us at hello@pluribuslabs.ai with the claim and we will look at it.
It put the wrong name on a voice.
Tap the name on the transcript or on the tally and type the right one. A name the phone recognised from before is shown with a small waveform beside it, so you can tell its guess from a name you gave.
Minutes and purchases
How do minutes work?
Listening costs one minute a minute, and checking every claim is included. A new account starts with free minutes, and gets more when you finish your first session. After that you can buy packs of 30, 60, 120 or 240 minutes in the app. Minutes never expire.
I bought minutes and they didn't show up.
Close Rage Bait and open it again with a connection. A pack you paid for that hasn't been added yet is added when the app opens. If a purchase was waiting on approval (Ask to Buy), the minutes arrive when it is approved.
Still missing? Write to hello@pluribuslabs.ai and include the order number from Apple's receipt email.
How do I restore my purchases?
There is nothing to restore by hand. Minute packs are used up as you listen, so the App Store doesn't keep them to download again. The minutes you bought are held on your Rage Bait account, which belongs to your iPhone, and your balance is on the Account screen.
If you paid for a pack and the minutes aren't there, open the app again: it adds any pack that wasn't added. If you have moved to a new iPhone and your minutes didn't come with you, write to hello@pluribuslabs.ai with your Apple receipt and we will sort it out.
Can I get a refund?
Purchases are made through Apple, and Apple handles refunds. Ask at reportaproblem.apple.com.
Your data
Is the conversation recorded?
No. Speech becomes text on your iPhone as it is heard. No recording is kept and the sound never leaves the phone. Only the words are sent to Polygraph, to be checked.
How do I delete my account?
- Open Rage Bait and go to the Account tab.
- Scroll down and tap Delete account.
- Tap Delete to confirm.
This deletes your account, your minutes, your sessions and their claims from our servers, and removes the sessions and the voices it knows from the phone. It can't be undone, and unused minutes aren't refunded.
Can't open the app? Write to privacy@pluribuslabs.ai and we will delete it for you.
How do I make the phone forget a voice?
On the Account tab, under People this phone knows, swipe a person and tap Forget, or tap Forget everyone. Voices are remembered on your phone only; they are never sent to us.
How do I delete one session?
On the Sessions tab, swipe the session to the left and tap Delete. That removes it from your phone. Our copy stays until you delete your account; to have one session removed from our servers, write to us.
How do I turn off bingo?
On the Account tab, under Bingo, turn off Play bingo while listening. You can turn off just its sounds there too.
