Check a link before you click: where does it actually go?
Paste a link or scan a QR code. See the real destination, what it is, the full redirect chain and the risk level — before you open it. Then check the seller behind it.
or drop it here, or paste it
It is your call whether to open it. Our job is to check it and tell you what we found — we never block anything.
Has anyone reported them?
A shop name, a LINE ID, a phone number or a bank account number. We show how many people reported it, when, and why. We never judge.
Reports come from people who signed in. One person can report a name or number once. 3 or more reports from different connections is shown as “many”. What you type here is not kept and never appears in a web address.
Been scammed?
Report the account so the next person can see it. Sign in with Google, LINE or a username — we keep no e-mail, no name, nothing about you.

Questions people ask
Is it free? Do I need to sign up?
It is free and needs no sign-up. Check a link or look up an account here whenever you get one you are not sure about.
Does “low risk” mean the link is completely safe?
No. We never say a link is completely safe. The result is what we found at the moment we checked, and a site can change at any time. If a link asks for a password or an OTP, or wants you to install an app, stop first.
Can it check a QR code?
Yes. Upload a photo or a screenshot of the code and we read where it leads, or what kind of payment it is, before you scan it to pay.
Can I use it in a LINE group?
Yes. Invite Glar to the group, then type “Glar” followed by the link, and Glar answers in the group. Each group gets 3 free checks.
