Look before you open

See what’s behind the link.

BeforeTap shows the final host, every redirect, status codes, tracking tags, and warning signs. You get the details. You make the call.

01

Reveal the real destination

See the final domain and full URL behind shortened, tracking, and unfamiliar links.

02

Follow every redirect

Review each hop, HTTP status code, and domain change before opening the destination.

03

Check QR codes first

Scan with the camera or choose an image. The decoded link gets the same checks as a pasted URL.

04

Spot warning signs

Get plain-language reasons for unusual domains, ports, redirects, encoded hosts, and other risky patterns.

05

Drop common trackers

Copy or share a cleaner destination without the usual ad and campaign parameters.

06

Use it from anywhere

Inspect links from the share sheet, Shortcuts, Siri, Control Center, or the Action Button.

Private by design

No account. No ads. No analytics.

Inspection history stays on your device and can be deleted whenever you want. Camera frames and selected QR images are processed on the device.

Submitted links are processed by T.LY’s link tools so BeforeTap can follow redirects and build the report without opening the destination on your phone.
