Digital safety for the family, in one place
Scams that reach Indian phones mostly arrive through three channels: a link (WhatsApp, SMS, email), a QR code (a "scan to receive" trap at a shop or in a message), and a forwarded WhatsApp message. Toolsda's Safety Tools has a dedicated checker for each — free, and mostly running on your own device rather than a server.
The 4 tools
- Link Safety Checker — Check if a link is phishing, scam, or a safe affiliate link — before you click.
- URL Cleaner — Strip utm, fbclid, and gclid trackers before you share a link.
- WhatsApp Scam Detector — Is this WhatsApp forward a scam? Paste the message and check.
- Who's On My WiFi — Paste your ARP table or router list — see every device on your WiFi with vendor lookup.
Why most of these run on your device
Link parsing, UPI ID/QR decoding, and known-tracker matching don't need a server round trip — they run as plain logic in your browser, so nothing about the link or UPI ID you're checking is ever uploaded. The WhatsApp Scam Detector is the one exception: obvious scams are still caught by a free local pattern engine, and only genuinely ambiguous messages are sent to Cloudflare Workers AI for a second opinion.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these safety tools free?
Yes — all 4 tools here are free with no page or usage limits. The WhatsApp Scam Detector allows 8 free checks a day; the rest are unlimited.
Do any of these tools upload my data to a server?
Most run entirely in your browser. The exception is the WhatsApp Scam Detector, which sends ambiguous messages to Cloudflare Workers AI for analysis — obvious scams are still caught locally by a free pattern engine first.
What is the "scan to receive" UPI scam these tools catch?
A scammer asks you to scan a QR code to "receive" money. UPI never needs your PIN to receive a payment — the QR is actually a payment request, so entering your PIN sends money out of your account instead.
Can I use these tools without creating an account?
Yes — every tool works without signing in. An optional free account only adds saved history and raises the WhatsApp checker's daily limit.
