Squint 1.0.0
First public release.
Squint watches the clipboard and checks any link you copy against Google Safe Browsing,
VirusTotal and URLhaus, then shows a verdict card in the bottom-right corner.
Download Squint-Setup.exe — one file, ~61 MB.
Run it. No admin password, no prerequisites, nothing to unzip: .NET is bundled inside the app.
Windows shows "Windows protected your PC" because the installer is not code-signed, so click
More info → Run anyway.
The wizard explains the three verdicts and collects your (free) API keys up front.
What it does
- SUSPECT when any source flags it, or the domain impersonates a known site
(steamcomrnunity.comis notsteamcommunity.com). - VERIFIED only when the destination is on a curated known-good list and nothing flagged
it. These sources are blocklists, so a clean scan alone never earns green. - CAUTION for everything else, which is where most links land, by design.
Redirects are resolved first, so a shortener is judged by where it actually lands.
steam:// commands are read locally, since no web scanner can see them.
After installing
The tray icon is an eye: open means Squint is watching, closed means it is running but switched
off. Link checking starts off at every launch — left-click the icon to turn it on. Nothing
leaves your machine until you do.
