## Description
LinkGuard — Link Safety Assistant
Ever clicked a link and wondered where it actually leads? LinkGuard sits between your apps and your browser, giving you full control over every URL before it opens.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🛡️ WHAT LINKGUARD DOES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
When you tap a link in WhatsApp, Gmail, Telegram, Instagram, SMS, or any other app — LinkGuard intercepts it first. In seconds, it analyzes the URL, shows you a trust score, and lets you decide what to do next.
No more blindly opening suspicious links. No more being tracked across the web. No more phishing surprises.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔍 POWERFUL URL ANALYSIS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Every link is analyzed instantly for:
- HTTPS vs HTTP — know if your connection is encrypted
- Domain validation — detect lookalike and spoofed domains
- Suspicious characters — catch Unicode and homograph attacks (googlе.com vs google.com)
- Redirect chains — follow redirects to reveal the true destination
- Tracking parameters — detect utm_source, fbclid, gclid, and 20+ more trackers
A clear Trust Score from 0–100 tells you exactly how safe a link is, color-coded Green, Amber, or Red.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧹 URL CLEANER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Tracking parameters follow you everywhere. LinkGuard removes them with one tap.
Before: https://shop.com/product?id=123&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=abc&utm_campaign=sale
After: https://shop.com/product?id=123
See a visual before/after comparison with every removed parameter highlighted. Copy, share, or open the clean URL directly.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📷 QR CODE SCANNER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Don't trust unknown QR codes. Scan any QR code with LinkGuard and the URL is automatically analyzed before anything opens. Supports flashlight toggle for scanning in low light.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌐 BROWSER CHOOSER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Open any link in your preferred browser — Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge, DuckDuckGo, Samsung Internet, or your system default. You stay in control of where links open.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📋 HISTORY & SEARCH
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Every analyzed URL is saved locally with its trust score and status. Search, filter by Safe, Warning, or Dangerous, re-analyze old links, or clear your history anytime.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔒 PRIVACY FIRST
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- 100% offline analysis — no data sent to any server
- No account required
- No ads, ever
- All history stored locally on your device
- Open source friendly
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✨ DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
LinkGuard is built for everyday users, not just security experts. A clean Material Design 3 interface with full Dark Mode support makes link safety effortless. Supports English and Tamil.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📱 HOW TO USE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Install LinkGuard
2. Tap any link in any app
3. Choose LinkGuard from the "Open With" menu
