The problem is bigger than one campaign
Election reminders, donation deadlines, poll invitations, candidate pitches, PAC messages, and advocacy alerts can all stack up quickly. Even when a message is legal or legitimate, the volume can make your phone feel less like yours.
Blocking one sender can help in the moment, but it does not solve repeated language from new numbers. Political senders can rotate vendors, lists, and phone numbers while the message patterns stay familiar.
FingerWag is built for practical control
FingerWag gives iPhone users private rules for filtering unwanted political texts from unknown senders. You can turn on political and fundraising rule packs, block recurring phrases, and adjust rules as new campaign language appears.
The goal is simple: make political text overload easier to manage without making your phone harder to use.
Nonpartisan by design
Stop Political Texts is not about one party, candidate, campaign, or cause. It is about giving people a calmer way to handle repeated political outreach they did not ask to receive.
You should be able to participate in civic life without turning your inbox into a campaign channel.
Privacy is part of the mission
Political messages can reveal sensitive opinions, locations, affiliations, and donation history. FingerWag is designed for on-device filtering, so your rules and filtering decisions stay on your iPhone. No account is required, and FingerWag does not upload political message text to a server.
