SkanQRCode runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 88 installs a week from npm. Last commit 7 Oct 2026.
Check whether a URL or IP is safe before an AI agent fetches or opens it.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check SkanQRCode every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
