## What is ScanKeep?

Every QR code, checked before you open it.

Scammers stick fake QR codes on parking meters, menus, posters and delivery notices. One scan can land you on a page that looks official and asks for your card number.

ScanKeep reads the code first. It shows you where the code really leads, explains anything suspicious in plain words, and keeps your scan history locked on your device.

CHECKS BEFORE OPENING
• Links: HTTP, IP addresses, Punycode lookalikes, embedded credentials, brand impersonation, lookalikes of sites you have scanned, and frequently abused domain endings
• Phone and SMS: international numbers, auto-dialed digits and prefilled messages
• Wi-Fi: open networks and outdated encryption
• Payment codes: see the payee first, then hand off to your payment app
• High-risk links need a press and hold to open, so a slip of the finger won't open them

AI ANALYSIS
• On supported devices, AI takes a second look at each link and explains what seems off
• Want more detail? Use Advanced AI Analysis (free users watch one ad per analysis)

SHORT LINKS, EXPANDED
• See where a short link really goes before you open it: ScanKeep follows it in a sandbox and checks every stop along the way

SEVERAL CODES? YOU PICK
• When two or more QR codes are in view, ScanKeep pauses and asks, so a sticker placed over the real code won't open by itself

LOCKED HISTORY
• History is locked with Face ID by default, with an auto-lock delay you choose
• Wi-Fi passwords are hidden by default, the app blurs in the app switcher, and records are covered while recording or mirroring
• Get a reminder to delete screenshots that capture passwords or contacts
• Search, filter, favorite, add notes, and mark scam domains yourself

CREATE AND SHARE QR CODES
• URL, Wi-Fi, text, email, phone, SMS, contact, event and location
• Every code is scanned back after it is created to make sure it works
• Share PNGs for free; ScanKeep Pro adds a center logo and PDF export

PRIVACY FIRST
• No sign-up, and your history is never uploaded to ScanKeep servers
• Safety checks run on your device. ScanKeep only connects when you tap: opening a site, expanding a short link, or Advanced AI Analysis

The free version shows banner ads at the bottom of History and Create, and an interstitial may appear only when you open History. Scanning and scan results never show ads. You can also watch an ad to get one ad-free hour.

ScanKeep Pro is a monthly auto-renewable subscription that removes all ads (including the ad before Advanced AI Analysis) and unlocks center logos, PDF export and full CSV export of your history. Safety checks and locked history are always free.

SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS
• Plan: ScanKeep Pro (monthly)
• Length: 1 month, renews automatically
• Price and currency are shown in the App Store
• The subscription renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged within 24 hours before the period ends
• Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account subscriptions

### 2.0.0 — 2026-10-24

ScanKeep 2.0: every QR code, checked before you open it.

• Checks before opening: links, phone numbers, texts, Wi-Fi and payment codes are checked first, and high-risk links need a press and hold to open
• AI Analysis takes a second look at links on supported devices; tap Advanced AI Analysis for a closer look
• Expand any link in a sandbox to see where it really goes before you open it
• When several QR codes are in view, ScanKeep pauses and lets you pick, so a sticker placed over the real code won't open by itself

• A brand-new look and app icon with four simple tabs: Scan, History, Create and Settings

### 1.0.2 — 2026-07-30

The keyboard closes, ads stay out of the way, and large text no longer breaks the layout.

・A Done bar above the keyboard, so number pads for phone numbers and coordinates can be dismissed
・The bottom ad steps aside while you type, instead of sitting over the field
・After you generate a QR code, the PNG and PDF buttons are no longer hidden behind the ad
・On a scan result, Confirm and Open stays pinned at the bottom no matter how many safety notes appear
・Safety notes in history detail are colored again, so severity is obvious at a glance
・At large text sizes, the scanner controls, code type grid, and history list no longer overlap or overflow
・The code type grid and history list line up with the rest of the page
・Fixed a case where the banner ad could fail to appear

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-28

Better focus while scanning, and a smoother interface.

・Small QR codes held close to the lens now focus reliably; tap anywhere to refocus
・New 0.5x / 1x / 2x zoom controls, so you no longer have to hold the phone farther away
・The viewfinder lights up the moment a code is read
・The generator shows all nine code types at once, and switching type no longer clears what you already typed
・Fixed a banner ad that could cover the bottom tab bar and block navigation between tabs
・Scan history is now a card list, so the page reads as one continuous surface

### 1.0 — 2026-07-28

No release notes.
