Introduction

Nosmai Moderation is an on-device content moderation SDK for mobile apps. Moderate images, video, text and the live camera, with no cloud round-trip.

What is Nosmai Moderation?

Nosmai Moderation is a content safety SDK that runs entirely on the user’s device. It checks images, recorded video, chat text and the live camera for unsafe content, and returns a clear verdict your app can act on. There is no cloud round-trip, so frames and messages never leave the phone.

You install one SDK, initialize it with a license key, and call a small set of methods. All models ship inside the SDK, so checks keep working offline after the one-time setup.

ImageCheck a single photo
VideoSample and aggregate a recorded clip
TextCheck a chat message or comment
Live cameraReal-time, per-frame moderation

It detects unsafe objects (weapon, drug, cigarette, alcohol), adult / NSFW imagery, and unsafe text (profanity, toxicity, hate, harassment, threats).

Why on-device

  • Privacy: user content never leaves the device, which helps with compliance.
  • Latency: no network call per check, so results are immediate.
  • Cost: no per-request cloud bill for moderation.
  • Offline: works without connectivity after the one-time license check.
