## What is QRbolt?

Stop and verify before you tap. QRbolt is the fast, private scanner that checks every QR code link against live threat intelligence before your browser opens it, and tells you what is in the food you scan, measured against your own allergens and diet.

QR phishing, called "quishing", is one of the fastest-growing cyber threats. Attackers swap real QR codes in parking lots, restaurants and conference rooms for malicious ones that lead to fake login pages, malware or payment fraud. Your camera app does not check where a code leads. QRbolt does.

HOW IT WORKS
Point your camera at any QR code, or import one from your Photos
QRbolt decodes the destination on-device
The link is checked against a continuously updated database of known phishing and malware destinations
You see a clear verdict, No Warnings Found, Use Caution or Malicious, before anything opens
See whether other QRbolt users have reported the same link as safe or malicious

SCAN FOOD, NOT JUST QR CODES
Point QRbolt at the barcode on a package and see what is in it: the product, a photo, ingredients and nutrition, for millions of products, in your language.
Colour-coded scores: Nutri-Score, NOVA processing level and Eco-Score, each on a clear scale you can tap for a plain explanation
Diet at a glance: vegan and vegetarian status
Allergens as badges: the 14 major allergens, as "Contains" and "May contain"
Labels from the pack, such as organic or kosher, as simple badges
Additives explained by what they do, so E415 reads as a thickener rather than a code. We list what is in the product. We do not rate whether an additive is good or bad for you, and we link to the EU and Health Canada registers if you want the official position.

YOUR ALLERGENS, KEPT ON YOUR IPHONE
Tell QRbolt what you avoid, from the 14 major allergens to vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free, and every product page points it out: "Flagged for your profile". When a product's details are too incomplete to be sure, QRbolt says it cannot confirm, and why. It never tells you a product is safe, and it always reminds you to check the package.
Your profile is saved only on this iPhone. It is never sent to QRbolt or anyone else.

SHARE AND SAVE
Share a product with friends and family as a clear picture card with its scores and allergens, in Messages or any app you like. Your own allergen profile is never included. Save products to find them again in your history, and shared QRbolt links open straight in the app.

MORE WAYS TO SCAN
Share any photo containing a QR code to QRbolt, from Photos, Messages or any app
Add the QRbolt widget to your Home Screen or Lock Screen for one-tap access straight into the camera

YOUR PRIVACY, BY DESIGN
No account or sign-up needed to start scanning
Your allergen and diet profile never leaves your iPhone
PIPEDA compliant: your data stays in Canadian infrastructure, never sold
You decide whether your scan history syncs to your account

FREE FOR EVERYONE
Security should not be a luxury. Scanning, real-time threat checks and product pages are completely free: no trial period, no hidden limits, no catch. Sign in with Apple or Google only if you want your scan history to sync across devices.

BACKED BY REAL THREAT INTELLIGENCE
QRbolt is powered by QRbolt.com's threat intelligence platform used by organizations worldwide, updated continuously and covering hundreds of thousands of confirmed malicious URLs.

Product information can be incomplete or out of date. If you have an allergy, always check the package.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.2 — 2026-09-17

Food pages now answer what you scan for.

Tell QRbolt the allergens you avoid and your diet, and every product page points out anything that does not fit: "Flagged for your profile". When a product's details are too incomplete to be sure, QRbolt says so instead of guessing. Your profile is saved only on this iPhone and is never sent anywhere.

Also new
Vegan and vegetarian status, and the 14 major allergens, as badges you can read at a glance
Colour-coded Nutri-Score, NOVA processing level and Eco-Score, each tappable for a plain explanation
Labels from the pack, such as organic or kosher
Share a product as a picture card with its scores and allergens, and save products to find them again
Shared qrbolt.app links now open straight in the app
Clearer product pages: the answer first, nothing repeated, and a readable barcode

Fixes
Product photos and scores load correctly for more products
Share and save buttons are easier to see, and the back button is tidier

### 1.4.0 — 2026-09-09

Scan a product barcode and see what is actually in it.

Point QRbolt at the barcode on a package and you get the product name, a photo, ingredients, nutrition levels and the full additive list. Millions of products, and it works in your language.

For additives we show what each one does, so E415 reads as a thickener rather than a code. We list what is in the product. We do not rate whether an additive is good or bad for you, and we link to the EU and Health Canada registers if you want to read the official position.

Also in this release:

A QR code that says example.com without the http:// is now recognised as a link and checked like any other, instead of being shown as plain text.

Scan history can be filtered by QR code or barcode, and single entries can be removed with a long press.

Settings shows a device ID you can copy and send us if you ever need to report a problem.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-09-06

Lock Screen and Control Center widgets and controls updated for easier access to QR Code scanning.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-07-24

### 1.2.0 — 2026-07-20
