Canary — QR Safety Scanner

Adam from Mitch and Murray

About this app

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.
