Process

How it protects you. From threat detection to clear action.

01Detected

Inspects links right from your messages

Automatically extracts and inspects links from SMS text messages, chat applications, and emails without needing to manually copy and paste.

02Verified

Checked against three security databases

Every link is analyzed across Google Safe Browsing, VirusTotal, and AI phishing detectors to confirm if it is Safe, Suspicious, or Fraudulent.

03Unmasked

Reveals hidden link destinations

Follows shortened links (like bit.ly or tinyurl) all the way to their true website destination so you can see where you would actually land before clicking.
