## What is QR Code Halo?

Optimized for iPhone Duo. Built with the latest SDK, the app fills the entire inner display and automatically adjusts its layout whether the device is folded or open.

Scan QR codes and barcodes in 20 formats, from the camera or a photo, and act at once: links open and Wi-Fi codes bring up the Join prompt.
Worried a code was a scam? Open it in History and tap Security Check. On your device, QR Code Halo breaks the link into parts and flags suspicious URLs, non-HTTPS links and hosts that mix alphabets as Safe, Caution or Blocked. javascript:, data: and file: codes never open, and you can turn off “Run action after scanning” to check every code first.
Create nine kinds of QR codes too, including Wi-Fi, contacts and events.

Security Check in History
Every scan outside batch mode is saved on this device unless “Skip saving to history” is on. Open any code in History and tap Security Check to review it with two local tools.
Local Payload Security Inspector
Parses the complete payload on device into scheme, host, path, query and fragment. Deterministic rules return Safe, Caution or Blocked, transparent findings and an action disposition. No network reputation lookup and no fuzzy score are used; parsing uncertainty fails closed instead of enabling an action.
QR Verification
Save a result as a local reference, then compare a later scan by its complete SHA-256 fingerprint, QR format, content type, URL components, security level and action disposition.

Batch Risk & Difference Audit
Finds exact duplicate groups and host groups across a batch, then checks bounded lookalike hosts rather than claiming unlimited similarity detection. It shows the overall risk, each item's risk and every full decoded payload together. Reading the complete audit is available without an unlock.
