About

I started in tech in the '80s and am still at it. For the last 20+ years, security has been my primary focus. I wrote Canary because most people treat QR codes as harmless UI and that’s a dangerous blind spot. Take a photo and go, but each QR has hidden instructions for your phone to execute, and you have no idea what it's really doing. Canary gives you a full read on the QR action and a security score. Canary is free, requires no signup, and does no user tracking (just anonymous telemetry). All compute and API fees come out of my pocket. Thanks for looking, and I'll respond to any feedback. Please share with a friend!!

Canary - A QR safety scanner - Inspect & score QR codes before your phone executes them

QRs are convenient, but they hide their instructions. Your phone acts before you can intervene, and scammers are taking advantage of that. Canary unpacks and scores a QR code before it touches your device - revealing the real destination, assessing its veracity, removing trackers, and flagging scams. You get a safety score and all the detail behind the code, then you decide if you continue. Canary is free - no signup, no ads, no user tracking.
