Link Lens · offline URL inspector

A small Python utility that highlights HTTP, embedded credentials, unusual ports and internationalised hostnames. It parses text only; it does not visit links, classify malware or guarantee that a URL is safe.

What you’ll need

Python 3.10 or newer. Windows, macOS or Linux.

The defensive takeaway

Treat these signals as prompts for investigation. A clean report does not prove a link is trustworthy.
