Features & Capabilities

See what a QR code really does before you tap it. Canary unpacks the destination, checks it, and shows a clear safety verdict. Free, no signup, no user tracking.

Not every QR code is safe. A URL that looks innocent but redirects you to a phishing site, a sticker slapped on a parking meter, a "free Wi-Fi" poster, a flyer with a payment code — you can't see where a QR really goes until it's too late.

Canary checks it first and tells you what's behind the code.

Point your camera at any QR code and get an instant, plain-language safety verdict — before your browser opens the link, before you connect, before you pay:

• SAFE / VERIFY / UNSAFE — a clear read on every scan • See the real destination — Canary follows short links and redirects to show where they actually lead, and strips tracking junk • Catch open Wi-Fi that exposes your traffic • Spot spoofed brands and look-alike web addresses • Flag sketchy payment requests before your money moves

Works on everything a QR can hold — links, Wi-Fi, payments, contacts, calendar events, phone numbers, and more.

Built for privacy-first: • No signup • No account required • No user tracking • No cost

Canary doesn't know who you are, and it's built that way on purpose. Scan first, trust second.

User Reviews

QR codes are everywhere, and it’s nice to have a separate app for scanning and checking links before blindly clicking on everything. This app goes WAY beyond the standard security checks built into phones and browsers these days. And I appreciate that NONE of the data is stored or can be used against me. It’s like a test strip for the web. These days, it’s common to find bad links and dangerous sites and downloads. Trusting a QR code is like eating something you found on the ground.
