Every QR code hides a link you can't see. CandyWrapper unwraps it, runs a 10-step safety check, and says Sweet (safe) or Spoiled (danger) before you tap.
CandyWrapper is the sweetest way to stay safe from sketchy QR codes and links.
Every QR code hides a destination you can't see. Stickers get swapped, links get spoofed, and one tap can lead to a phishing page or malware. CandyWrapper unwraps the link first — running it through a multi-stage security pipeline — and gives you a clear verdict before you go anywhere.
Sweet means safe to open.
Spoiled means we blocked it.
No jargon. No guesswork. Just a fast, friendly answer.
HOW IT WORKS
Point your camera at any QR code, or paste a link. In seconds, CandyWrapper checks it through 10 stages:
• Payload inspection
• Redirect tracing
• Google Safe Browsing
• VirusTotal
• SSL certificate
• Domain age
• Phishing detection
• Content analysis
• Sandboxed preview
• Reputation scoring
Then it shows a plain-English safety report — and only opens the link if you choose to.
CAUGHT ON YOUR DEVICE
Instant checks run right on your phone — blocked schemes, look-alike (homoglyph) domains, typosquats, raw IP-address links, suspicious TLDs, URL shorteners, and @-sign tricks — so the obvious traps are stopped before anything leaves your device.
CREATE SAFE QR CODES
Make QR codes you actually control:
• Encrypt the destination
• Track every scan
• Set expirations and scan limits
• Revoke anytime
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
We open the wrapper, not the candy. CandyWrapper is built by a security company, not an ad company — we check links to protect you, not to profile you. Sign in with Apple is supported.
Unwrap it before you tap it.
