About ScanFirst

Every QR scanner opens the code. ScanFirst explains it first. Fake parking-meter stickers. "Scan to receive money" payment scams. Shortened links hiding phishing pages. QR fraud is exploding worldwide — and the scanner built into your camera opens everything instantly. ScanFirst is a safety buffer between the QR code and your phone. Nothing opens without your approval. WHAT THIS CODE DOES — IN PLAIN ENGLISH Every scan gets a one-paragraph explanation anyone can understand: "This asks you to pay ₹500 to X", "This joins the Wi-Fi network Y", "This link really leads to Z." SCAM CHECKS ON EVERY SCAN • Reveals the true destination behind shortened links (bit.ly, t.co…) without opening the page • Flags lookalike domains, brand impersonation, hidden credentials, raw-IP servers • Matches every link against live phishing and malware databases, updated automatically • Blocks code-executing link types outright • Warns on premium SMS, rogue Wi-Fi, crypto address swaps, and 2FA hijack codes PAYMENT QR PROTECTION (India, Brazil, SE Asia & more) Reads UPI, Pix, DuitNow, QRIS, VietQR, QR Ph, PromptPay, PayNow and other national payment QRs. Shows the payee, amount, and whether it's a registered merchant — and reminds you: receiving money never requires scanning a QR or entering your PIN. Verified payments hand off to YOUR payment app (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, CRED…) where you approve as usual. ScanFirst never touches the money. PRODUCT BARCODES TOO Scan any grocery barcode for instant product info: brand, Nutri-Score, processing level, allergens. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No ads. No analytics. No scan history sent anywhere. Camera images never leave your device. Scan safely first.

What’s new

Version 1.1.0 · Updated August 10, 2026

What's new in 1.1.0: - Payment clarity: when a payment code's display name looks like a well-known brand but the account is personal, ScanFirst now says so before you pay. - Spoken safety summary: tap the speaker to hear the verdict read aloud. It never speaks names, brands, or web addresses -- only the safety assessment. - Incident reports: create a printable A4 PDF of a suspicious scan, with the full untruncated code contents, timestamps, and the photo evidence of the code -- useful when reporting a scam to your bank or the police. - Evidence photos: when a code is detected, the app saves a photo of it (and its immediate surroundings) on your device only, so you still have proof after the sticker is gone. You choose how long they're kept: 7, 30, or 60 days. - Share ScanFirst with someone you're helping stay safe.
