ScanLikely is the smarter way to scan QR codes: built for people who want to know where a link leads before they tap it.

— WHO IT'S FOR —
ScanLikely is built for anyone who values digital safety: travelers scanning unfamiliar codes, parents protecting their families, professionals handling sensitive information, and everyday users who want one reliable layer of defense against link-based scams.
— WHY IT MATTERS —
QR code phishing known as "quishing" is one of the fastest-growing cyber threats. Attackers replace legitimate QR codes in public spaces or embed malicious URLs in emails and documents. A single tap can expose your passwords, financial details, or personal information. ScanLikely exists to stop that before it starts.

I use Scan Likely whenever I travel, especially at restaurants with QR‑code menus. It’s quick, simple, and lets me know if a code is safe before I open anything. Gives me peace of mind on the go.
Great safety tool

Easy to use and I no longer have to worry if a QR code is safe to use.
Catches a new phishing trick: scammers drop the dot in a trusted brand (e.g. "irsgov" for "irs.gov", "paypalcom" for "paypal.com") and hide it in a fake URL. These show up most in text-message scams, where the URL gets truncated and looks legit. ScanLikely now flags them as critical impersonation.
