About this app

Every QR scanner opens the code. ScanFirst explains it first.

Fake parking-meter stickers. "Scan to receive money" UPI scams. Shortened links hiding phishing pages. QR fraud is exploding worldwide — and the scanner built into your camera opens everything instantly.

ScanFirst is a safety buffer between the QR code and your phone. Nothing opens without your approval.

WHAT THIS CODE DOES — IN PLAIN ENGLISH
Every scan gets a one-paragraph explanation a non-technical person can understand: "This asks you to PAY ₹500 to X", "This joins the Wi-Fi network Y", "This link really leads to Z."

SCAM CHECKS ON EVERY SCAN
• Reveals the true destination behind shortened links (bit.ly, t.co…) without opening the page
• Flags lookalike domains, brand impersonation, hidden credentials, raw IP servers
• Matches every link against live phishing and malware databases, updated automatically
• Blocks code-executing link types outright
• Warns on premium SMS, rogue Wi-Fi, crypto address swaps, and 2FA hijack codes

PAYMENT QR PROTECTION (India, Brazil, SE Asia & more)
Reads UPI, Pix, DuitNow, QRIS, VietQR, QR Ph, PromptPay, PayNow and other national payment QRs. Shows the payee, amount, and whether it's a registered merchant — and reminds you of the golden rule: receiving money never requires scanning a QR or entering your PIN.

Verified payments hand off to YOUR payment app (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, CRED…) where you approve as usual. ScanFirst never touches the money.

PRODUCT BARCODES TOO
Scan any grocery barcode for instant product info from Open Food Facts: brand, Nutri-Score, processing level, allergens.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts. No ads. No analytics. No scan history sent anywhere. Camera images never leave your device.

Scan safely first.

A NOTE ON SAFETY
ScanFirst helps you spot risky QR codes and links, but no scanner catches everything. It's a safety aid, not a guarantee — always use your own judgment, especially before paying.
