Knoq

See where it really goes

Knoq reads a QR code and shows you the real address first: every short link and redirect it passes through, and the domain it finally reaches. No ads over the camera, no weekly plan.

How it works

What it does, in three screens

A menu, a parking meter, a flyer: the code usually hides a short link. Knoq shows you where it goes before anything opens.

Knoq: Where it really goes
01

Where it really goes

Each hop of a short link is followed from your phone and struck through as the next one lands. The address it ends at is in large type, and nothing opens until you tap Open.

Knoq: Straight to the camera
02

Straight to the camera

Knoq opens on the camera, with nothing in front of it. Codes in photos and screenshots read too, and batch mode takes a stack in one go.

Knoq: Every scan, and where it went
03

Every scan, and where it went

History keeps each code with its real destination: search, favourites, tags, and a Trash that holds a deleted scan for 30 days.

Features

More in the app

Lookalikes named

A domain dressed up as a brand it is not is called out, with the brand's real site beside it. Knoq tells you what it found; it never calls a link safe.

Make your own codes

Link, Wi-Fi, contact, text, email and message codes in your colours, shared as a PNG or shown full screen at full brightness.

Wi-Fi and contacts in one tap

A Wi-Fi code joins the network after iOS asks you; a contact code opens the new-contact card.

Yours to export

The whole history exports to CSV, with the scanned content and the real destination side by side.

Privacy

Your data stays yours

Your scans and codes live on your device and sync through your own private iCloud. No account, no ads, and no tracking across other apps or websites.

What does leave your iPhone
  • To show where a short link goes, Knoq asks each address in the chain where it points, from your phone, without opening the page. You can turn this off in Settings.
  • When you buy Pro, Apple and RevenueCat record the purchase. Neither sees your scans or your codes.

Try before you pay

There is no free tier and no ads. The yearly plan opens with a 3-day free trial, so you see the whole app first, and Knoq reminds you the day before the trial ends.

Knoq Pro

Where every code really goes, scanning from photos and batch scan, History with iCloud sync and Trash, and the full code maker, yearly, monthly or once for life.
