QalkanQR & Barcode Scanner

What is inside the code?
See it before you open it.

Qalkan reads a code and shows you what is inside. A scanned code is never opened, dialled or connected on its own: you see first, you decide second.

The real domain

qalkan.app/qr/

Which site the address actually goes to is marked, whatever the rest of it says.

Where a short link really ends up, when you tap and before you travel there.

Lookalike domain

A Cyrillic character shaped like a Latin one was found. The app warns, you decide.

Decoding happens on your device. What you scan does not leave it unless you ask.

Three steps, every one of them yours

The app takes no step for you. That is the single rule of this product.

1

Scan

From the camera or a photo you already have. If a frame holds several codes, you pick the one you meant.

See

It opens by content type: address, Wi-Fi, contact, event, payment code. For a link, the real domain is marked.

Decide

Open, copy, share or do nothing. What each action will do is written before you tap it.

This address looks like a payment page, but the domain is not a familiar one.

Copy Open in browser

It creates codes too

Link, text, Wi-Fi, contact, event, e-mail, SMS, phone, location and product codes. Design them with colours, shapes and a logo in the middle; the readability check and a test scan are inside the app.

Create tab with the code types

What you scan stays with you

History, folders and the codes you create live only in the database on your device. There is no account, no cloud backup, and deleting the app deletes all of it.
