Secure Scan

SecureScan tells you whether a link is dangerous before you open it.

A message arrives with a link. You get about a second to decide. SecureScan makes that second count.

HOW IT WORKS

Paste a link, scan a QR code, or share a link to SecureScan from any app. You get one clear answer — Safe, Low, Medium, High or Critical — and a plain-English reason for it.

Most checks finish on your device, against a list of known-malicious addresses that ships with the app and refreshes in the background. Only links that cannot be settled on your device are sent for a cloud lookup, where around 90 security vendors weigh in through VirusTotal.

WHAT YOU GET

• Paste or type any link and check it in seconds • Scan QR codes with the camera — posters, menus, parking meters and parcels are a favourite trick • Share a link to SecureScan straight from Messages, Mail or any other app • A Safari content blocker that stops known-malicious sites before the page loads • Open a cleared link inside SecureScan, so you never lose track of the link you just checked • A scan history, so you can look back at what you checked and what it said

HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT CANNOT DO

No link checker catches everything, and we would rather say so plainly. When SecureScan cannot reach a confident answer it says "unknown" instead of guessing. Unknown means unknown — treat that link the way you would treat a stranger.

PRIVACY

There is no account to create. We do not build a profile of you. The addresses you check are not stored against your identity, because there is no identity to store them against.

If you leave the optional "Help improve SecureScan" setting switched on, the app sends anonymous counters: which check produced the answer, what the answer was, and how long it took. The address you checked is never included. You can switch it off in Settings at any time.
