Every QR code hides a link — and you can't see where it goes until it's too late. QR-code phishing (sometimes called "quishing") is one of the fastest-growing scams: fake parking meters, bogus restaurant menus, phony delivery notices — all leading to pages built to steal your passwords and payment details. ScanHawk checks the destination BEFORE you open it. Point your camera at any QR code and ScanHawk tells you whether it's SAFE, SUSPICIOUS, or DANGEROUS — with a clear, plain-English explanation of why. HOW IT WORKS • Scan any QR code with your camera, or paste and share a link straight into the app. • ScanHawk follows the link to its true destination, checks it against live threat intelligence and an AI reasoning engine, and returns a verdict in seconds. • Safe links open normally. Dangerous ones are blocked with a warning — ScanHawk never opens a risky link automatically. WHY SCANHAWK • Catches look-alike domains, punycode spoofs, hidden-destination tricks, malicious redirects, and known-bad sites. • AI-powered analysis explains the real risk in plain language, not just a score. • Report a bad code or link in one tap. • Scan history to review what you've checked. • No account. No sign-up. No ads. • Privacy-first: your camera images never leave your device — only the decoded link is checked. FREE — ALL OF IT No ads. No account. No sign-up. Nothing to buy to stay protected. Stay one scan ahead of the scammers. Get ScanHawk.
