Point. And scan.
A code on a meter, a letter or a screen. Safe QR first reads what is inside.
A LITTLE CLARITY BEFORE YOU CONTINUE
Know what a QR code does. Before you act on it.
A QR code doesn’t tell you where it leads. Safe QR does. It reads the code, explains the risks and leaves the decision to you.

An unnoticed CZK 99 weekly subscription

TECHNOLOGY WITH CLEAR BOUNDARIES
Help with the decision. Never a decision for you.
AI explains the findings in everyday language. It cannot dismiss a risk proven by the phone. When something is unknown, we say so.
How we protect privacyOn your phone first
The first check sends no data. Cloud checks start only after one-time consent.
Cloud checks in the EU
Deep checks run on AWS in the EU. Photos are temporarily stored with encryption. We delete them after analysis.
No promise of zero risk
The result helps, but it can be wrong. We always explain what could not be checked.
Good questions. Clear answers.
Is every QR code dangerous?
No. A QR code is a way to store information. It can contain a menu or a payment request. What matters is understanding the next step.
Can scanning alone cause a scam?
Payments and logins usually require another step. Risk often comes from opening a website, entering details or confirming. Safe QR shows the contents and possible consequences first.
What does the 0–100 score mean?
A higher number means more risk was found. Below 30: looks safe. 30–69: be careful. 70 and above: dangerous. It is not a percentage chance of fraud or a safety guarantee.
Does it work without the internet?
Yes, the first check runs on your phone. Without a connection, it cannot inspect the destination or obtain new cloud evidence. The app makes that limit clear.
Who decides: me or AI?
You always decide. AI helps explain the findings. It can raise risk, but cannot lower it below the proven minimum set by the phone. It cannot pay, send messages or approve logins for you.
When can I download the app?
Safe QR is a working prototype for The FinTechers Hackathon 2026. An iPhone release for iOS 26 and later is planned. We have not announced a date or price.
