The problem

Suspicious content.
Real decisions.

People encounter links and messages that look convincing enough to act on. The difficult part is understanding what deserves a closer look, and what to do next.

We built ScanLens for individuals and small businesses who want an explanation before opening a link, signing in, replying or paying. The experience brings input, a risk assessment and practical guidance together.

A starting point in the browser.

The web scanner offers a direct URL check. Its result guide explains the three verdict categories so the user can understand the signal before deciding what to do.

The user journey

Input. Assessment.
Reasons to act on.

A useful result needs more than a label. The path from input to explanation is central to the product.

  1. 01

    Bring the content

    Paste a URL or message. On supported mobile flows, use a QR code or an image containing a link.

  2. 02

    Read the reasons

    Review the verdict and the signals behind it, with explanations that put the warning in context.

  3. 03

    Decide how to respond

    Use the guidance to pause, check through an official channel or avoid a risky interaction.

Built for different contexts

The same purpose.
A place on your phone.

Separate iOS and Android applications bring the review closer to the messages and links people receive.

What we built

A product beyond
a single screen.

  • The web experience

    A public URL-checking journey, verdict explanations and product discovery.

  • Mobile input and result flows

    Applications for iOS and Android, with supported journeys for links, messages, QR codes and screenshot-derived content.

  • Useful explanations

    Plain-language reasons and next actions alongside the assessment, helping the user interpret the result.

  • Continued product operation

    Development across product surfaces, with platform-specific capabilities and ongoing work to improve the experience.

Product boundaries

ScanLens provides decision support. A Safe result is a positive signal, not a guarantee. It does not replace checking sensitive requests through an official channel, and it is not an antivirus, VPN or guarantee of background protection.
