App Store Description

MetaCert is the only app that lets you check if a link is safe before opening it inside any message, app, or browser.

Everyone says, “Here’s how to protect yourself,” then puts the burden on you to inspect messages, websites, and fake links.
That doesn’t work.
MetaCert built the tool that makes it effortless.
Now you can check any link in two taps - no guessing, scrolling, or switching apps.

Once installed, MetaCert adds a new option to your iPhone’s link menu - the one you already use to copy, share, or open links in the apps you use every day.

MetaCert assumes every link is untrustworthy until verified.
This is called Zero Trust URL Authentication. Nothing else works like it.

We invented mobile app security and licensed our patents to top security companies.
But that model no longer protects people from phishing scams that involve fake links.

Most attacks start with a dangerous link that looks real.
AI has made it nearly impossible to tell the difference, so we built something new, designed to protect you where it matters most.

Like Calm made mindfulness easy, MetaCert makes link checking effortless.

LINK CHECKER IS ADDED TO:

- Messages (SMS & iMessage)
- WhatsApp
- Signal
- Messenger
- Apple Mail
- Gmail
- Outlook
- Instagram
- QR Codes
- Telegram
- Signal
- Reddit
- Slack
- Safari
- Chrome
- Brave
- Every app where you can share or save a link.

HOW IT WORKS

Press and hold a link, tap “Share,” then select “Check Link with MetaCert” to see if it’s VERIFIED, UNVERIFIED, or DANGEROUS before it opens.

MetaCert is also the first security app that protects against dangerous links inside encrypted messages (without reading them).
It only runs after decryption on your device and only when you choose to check a link.

BUILT FOR BEGINNERS AND EXPERTS

• Unsure about a link? Get instant clarity.
• Confident you can check for yourself? Confirm your instincts in 2 seconds.

MetaCert takes the guesswork out of links so you can act faster and more confidently.
No hesitation.
No wasted effort.

EASY TO AVOID

• Fake login pages
• Scam sites
• Malware & spyware
• Fraud
• Crypto scams
• Text scams (smishing)
• Email phishing
• Fake QR codes
• Malicious links on safe websites

WHAT IF I FORGET TO CHECK?

If Safari is your default browser, MetaCert checks links automatically before the page loads.

Dangerous? You’ll see a warning before the site opens.

Verified? A green shield appears.

Unverified? The shield is grey.

It shows up as a slim bar on the right side of Safari, so you’ll always know, even if you forgot to check.

TRUST NO URL. ALWAYS VERIFY.

WHO IS METACERT?

MetaCert is a Silicon Valley–backed cybersecurity firm that invented Zero Trust URL Authentication to verify links and block impersonation scams.
Founded in 2002 as a spin-out from an Irish telecom, its founder co-authored the W3C’s global URL-classification standard used by platforms like Twitter.
MetaCert’s patented technology is licensed by leading security vendors.
