Email us
Is my browsing sent to you?

No. Only the links you choose to check are sent.

Do I need an account?

No. Nothing to sign up for, in the app or here.

Does this website check links?

No. A link you paste here opens in the Surfwise app, and the app runs the three steps. Everyone gets the same page.

What does Ask AI do?

A second opinion on the finished report. It asks your permission first.

What if a step cannot finish?

The report shows only the steps that finished and names the one that did not.

What is a partner short link?

A short link from a website that partners with Surfwise. It opens through that partner's own 5-second page.
