## Description

URLCheck shows the real destination of the page you're on in a large, high-contrast bubble, so you can actually read where a link or redirect leads before you trust it.

Built for people who find the browser's tiny address bar hard to read — older adults, low-vision users, and anyone wary of look-alike or deceptive links.
<ul><li>Large, legible destination text in the Atkinson Hyperlegible typeface (built for low vision), with light/dark/system themes and adjustable size.</li><li>Choose how much of the address to show (domain, or domain plus path) and where the bubble appears.</li><li>Automatic, manual, or pinned display modes; mark sites you trust to stay quiet there.</li><li>Follows real redirects to show the true final destination, not just the clicked link.</li><li>Private by design: the URL is read locally to display it and is never sent to our servers. No browsing history is collected.</li></ul>
URLCheck is a visibility and awareness tool, not antivirus, and does not judge whether a site is safe. A 14-day free trial is included.
