✅ what it actually says
✅ what you need to do, and by when
⚠️ whether it looks like a scam

Hi everyone 👋
If you live independently — or you help look after someone who does — you'll know that little jolt of worry when an official-looking letter, email or text arrives. Something from the council, the pension people, the NHS or the bank, full of jargon, and you're not quite sure what it means... or whether it's even genuine.
I've made something simple to help, and it's completely free.
It's called Plainly. You just take a photo of the letter (or paste in a text or email), and it explains it back to you in plain, simple English — what it is, what you need to do, and by when. And if something looks suspicious, it gently warns you it might be a scam, so you can check before doing anything. It even works in over 50 languages.
No jargon, no pressure — just a clear, calm explanation.

Do official letters or emails ever leave you scratching your head? 😕

Something lands — from the IRS, NHS, HMRC, Social Security, Medicare, the bank, the DMV — full of jargon and "you must respond within 14 days," and you're left wondering what it actually means, whether you owe money, or if it's even real.

If that sounds familiar — or if you help an older parent who feels that way — I made something simple to help.

For anyone here caring for an elderly parent or relative 💛

You'll know the pile of official letters — pensions, NHS, council, benefits — and how stressful they can be to make sense of, especially if you're not there every day.

I've built a free tool called Plainly that might help: photograph or paste in any letter, email or text, and it explains it in plain English — what it is, what needs doing and by when — and gently flags anything that looks like a scam (which, sadly, older people get targeted by a lot).

It works in over 50 languages too, if that helps your family.

With so many scams about these days, fake "missed parcel" texts, dodgy "your account has been suspended" emails, letters that aren't what they seem, I've built a free tool to help people check.

It's called Plainly. You photograph or paste in the message, and it explains what it really is in plain English and gently flags the warning signs of a scam so you can check before you click anything or pay anyone.

It's not foolproof and it won't replace your own judgement, but it's a handy second pair of eyes, especially for older relatives who get targeted the most.

Hi all 👋 I'm local to the area and I've built something I think could help a lot of people round here.

It's called Plainly — you take a photo or copy and paste any confusing official letter, email or text (council, NHS, bank, that sort of thing) and it explains it back in plain, simple English: what it is, what you need to do, and it gently flags anything that looks like a scam. Works in over 50 languages too.

I made it especially with older folks and anyone who finds official letters stressful in mind. So please share it with anyone you think it could help. Thanks! 🙏

That sinking feeling when an official-looking letter lands on the doormat 😟

Words like "final notice" or "you must respond within 14 days" — and you're not sure what it actually means, whether you owe money, or if it's even real.

If you've ever felt that — or watched a parent or grandparent feel it — you'll know how stressful it is. And it's not just letters: it's emails that look like they're from your bank, texts about a "missed parcel," forms full of jargon.

So I built something to help. It's called Plainly.

📩 Take a photo of the letter, or paste in the email or text
✅ It explains it in plain, simple English — what it is, and whether you need to do anything (and by when)
🛡️ And if something looks dodgy, it gently flags it so you can check before you act

It even works in over 50 languages — so if English isn't your first language, or your parents', it can explain everything in the language you're most comfortable in.

It's not here to replace proper advice. It's here so nobody has to sit there worried and confused by a piece of paper they don't understand.

And if you know someone who'd find this useful — an older parent, a neighbour, a friend who worries about this stuff — please share this with them. It could take a real weight off their shoulders.
