About this app

Cactus helps you check whether a link, QR code, email, or text message is safe — before it costs you. Paste anything suspicious and get a clear, plain-language verdict with the reasons behind it, so you can decide what to do next.

Built for everyday people, not security experts. If you've ever wondered "is this link real?" or "is this email actually from my bank?", Cactus gives you a straight answer in seconds.

What you can check:
• Links (URLs) — spot phishing pages, lookalike domains, and risky redirects
• QR codes — see where a code really leads before you visit it
• Emails and text messages — check for phishing signs and scam wording
• Passwords — test their strength and whether one has turned up in a known breach
• Your email address — find out if it's appeared in a data breach

Why people trust Cactus:
• Free — no account, no sign-up, nothing to buy
• Bilingual — full English and French
• Private — we don't sell your data, and checks aren't tied to your identity
• Plain language — clear scores and reasons, not jargon
• Made in Canada

Scams are getting harder to spot. Cactus gives you a quick second opinion whenever something feels off — a suspicious text, an unexpected invoice, a "you've won" message, a QR code stuck on a parking meter. When in doubt, check it with Cactus first.
