SafeOpen helps you inspect QR codes and links before opening them. Scan a QR code or paste a link to see its destination and local URL risk signals. These checks help you spot suspicious links; they do not guarantee that a website is safe. Optional credit-based inspection fetches the destination on our servers and can show a page preview, redirects and a hosted AI summary when available. Server inspection uses shared server connections, not a disposable IP address. Opening the live website in the in-app browser uses your device’s internet connection and a nonpersistent browser session. Scanning and local URL checks are free. Optional consumable packs provide 100, 500 or 2,000 base credits; the purchase screen shows the current price and any applicable bonus. TestFlight purchases use a separate test balance. Scan history is stored locally. Optional server inspection sends the requested URL to our backend; hosted AI summaries use an external model provider. Apple Intelligence is not used in this version.
