A fence between you
and hostile messages.

Give the difficult person your FenceChat email address or mobile number. Every message they send is filtered before it reaches you — insults and threats stripped out, facts left in, delivered straight to your normal inbox. They contact you as usual. You read only what matters.

You're a completely useless parent and I'm sick of your constant excuses. Tommy has soccer practice Thursday at 4pm at Riverside Park. Don't you dare be late again. Emma's inhaler prescription needs refilling — it's at Chemist Warehouse on Main St.

Why it works this way

The person causing harm won't fix it themselves.

Most tools assume both parties want to cooperate. But when you're on the receiving end of a hostile ex-partner, an angry sibling, or a difficult former colleague — the other person isn't going to voluntarily filter themselves.

So FenceChat doesn't ask them to. You set it up on your end. They send messages exactly as they always have — and what arrives in your hands contains only the information that actually matters.

Think of it as a fence around your inbox. You don't ask the sender to change. What they write stays on their side. What arrives with you is only the information that was ever worth reading.

You set it up once. From then on, every message from that person arrives cleaned — without them knowing, without any cooperation, without any confrontation.

I can't believe how selfish you are — mum would be ashamed. Anyway the estate sale is June 15, collect your boxes from the garage before then or they go to charity.

How it works

One address. One number. That's the whole setup.

Sign up, get your details, give them to the difficult person. Everything after that happens automatically — on every device, in every email and messaging app.

1

You get your FenceChat address and number

Sign up and you're instantly assigned a personal email address like sarah.k@fencechat.com and a dedicated mobile number. No configuration, no rules to set up.

2

Give them the details — nothing else changes

Tell them this is your email address or mobile number going forward. You don't need to explain why. They contact you as normal. Nothing changes on their end.

3

Clean messages land in your real inbox

FenceChat filters the message and forwards only the facts to your real inbox — on every device, every app you already use. When you reply, your real address stays hidden. The sender only ever sees your FenceChat address.

Who uses FenceChat

When you have to stay in contact but can't keep being hurt.

For people who have no choice but to keep communicating — but every message feels like an attack.

Divorcing couples

Legal proceedings don't stop the need to communicate — they intensify it. FenceChat means you can deal with logistics without being hurt every time a message arrives.

Co-parents

Schedules, appointments, school logistics — they all have to get through. FenceChat separates the facts from the hostility so your children's lives run smoothly.

Family disputes

Estate settlements, shared property, ageing parents — situations where relatives have to keep coordinating despite a relationship that's broken down.

Workplace or business disputes

Business handovers, contractor disputes, difficult clients — where you still need to exchange information but the other party can't keep it civil.

Plans

Start protecting yourself today.

No long contracts. Cancel any time. Cheaper than one hour of a lawyer's time.

What's included

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Every plan includes reply privacy, a full message archive, and your real contact details hidden at all times.

Reply privacy, both ways

When you reply to a filtered message, your real email address and phone number stay hidden. Replies route back through FenceChat so the sender only ever sees your FenceChat address or number — in both directions, always.

Your replies filtered too

Reply filtering strips emotionally reactive language from what you send back, keeping your communication factual and calm.

Secure message archive

Every message is stored with the original alongside the filtered version. Search by sender, browse by date, and review the before/after for any message — all from your secure dashboard.

Originals always preserved

The unfiltered original of every message is encrypted and never deleted. You have access to it any time — essential if you ever need to provide evidence for legal proceedings.

The sender never knows

No unusual read receipts, no delivery failures, no indication that their message was ever filtered. Their experience is completely unchanged. You never have to explain yourself.

Simple account dashboard

Manage your plan, billing, filtered contacts, and sensitivity settings in one place. View your archive, adjust reply filtering, and update your details whenever you need to.

Real stories

From people who needed this.

“I used to dread seeing his name on my phone. Now I just see "pick up Emma at 4." I can't describe how much that's changed my day-to-day life.”

👩
Sarah M.
Co-parenting, 2 children

“My solicitor kept saying stop reading his emails — they were winding me up before court dates. FenceChat meant I still got the information without the psychological damage.”

👨
David K.
Divorce proceedings

“My brother and I have to sort out mum's estate but we haven't spoken properly in two years. FenceChat means the paperwork gets done without either of us saying something we can't take back.”

Privacy & security

We hold as little as possible. You control the rest.

FenceChat was designed from the ground up around one principle: your data should never be used against you. For many of our users, privacy isn't a preference — it's a safety requirement.

Your real details stay hidden

The sender only ever sees your FenceChat address or number. Your real email and mobile are never revealed — not by incoming messages, not by your replies. Hidden at the infrastructure level, not by trust alone.

Filtered by AI, not humans

Message content is processed entirely by an AI model. No human at FenceChat ever reads your messages. AI providers' API terms prohibit using API data for model training by default.

Originals stored encrypted

The unfiltered original of every message is encrypted and archived securely. You can access it any time. You're never cut off from the full truth — you just choose when and whether to read it.

The sender learns nothing

FenceChat leaves no footprint on the sender's end. No unusual read receipts, no delivery failures, no indication that their message was ever filtered. Their experience is completely unchanged.

Delete everything, any time

You can permanently delete your account, your archive, and every record we hold about you at any time from your settings. We comply fully with GDPR and Australian Privacy Act. No questions, no dark patterns.

Works across all your devices

Because the relay happens on our servers, your filtered inbox and archive are available on every device you use — phone, laptop, tablet. No installs. No syncing. Just your normal email app.

Legal note

If you're in a custody dispute, divorce, or any matter that may go before a court — keep originals. Every unfiltered message is archived in your dashboard. FenceChat never modifies source content. Talk to your solicitor about preserving digital evidence.

Fence off hostile messages.
