Vipera

Mobile security · Android · 4.9 (18 ratings) on Google Play

Malware scanning that’s honest about what it finds.

Vipera is an Android malware scanner. It checks APK files and installed apps against threat-intelligence databases and its own offline signatures by looking up each file’s SHA-256 hash, then helps you remove what it finds. No sign-up needed.

  • Quick scans free; full and deep scans with Premium
  • Sends a file’s SHA-256 hash, never the file itself
  • Threat intelligence from MalwareBazaar, YARAify and ThreatFox
  • One-tap quarantine and guided removal

Free to download · ads in the free version · Premium subscription · updated 10 Oct 2026

Works alongside Google Play Protect. No antivirus can detect every threat. Ratings as of October 2026.

About

Hi, I’m Om.

I’m an independent developer based in Adeje, Tenerife. BlankCanvas Software is where my apps begin: I take each one from an empty canvas to a live Google Play listing, covering design, code, testing, the store page and the updates that follow.

At a glance BlankCanvas Software is the independent Android app studio of Om Israni, based in Adeje, Tenerife, Spain. It publishes two apps on Google Play: DriveIQ: DGT Test Cat B, a study app for Spain’s DGT Category B driving theory exam, and Vipera: Mobile Security, a malware scanner that checks apps by their SHA-256 hash without uploading them.

  • Honest by default

    Vipera says plainly that no antivirus catches everything. DriveIQ says clearly that it isn’t affiliated with the DGT. Clear limits build trust.

  • Clear about data

    Say exactly what leaves the phone. Vipera sends a file’s SHA-256 hash, never the file, and each app’s Google Play listing details the rest, including the ads in free versions.

  • Shipped, then improved

    Launch early, read every review and keep shipping. Vipera’s latest update (10 Oct 2026) cut false positives and added in-app data deletion.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Who makes DriveIQ and Vipera?

Both apps are made by BlankCanvas Software, the independent Android app studio of Om Israni in Adeje, Tenerife, Spain. Om designs, builds and publishes them on Google Play under the developer name BlankCanvas Software, and this website is the studio’s home.

Is DriveIQ an official DGT app?

No. DriveIQ is an independent study tool for Spain’s DGT Category B theory exam and is not affiliated with the Dirección General de Tráfico. Its exam simulations follow the official format: 30 questions in 30 minutes, with at most 3 mistakes allowed to pass.

Does Vipera upload my files?

No. Vipera sends only a file’s SHA-256 hash to its server, which checks it against MalwareBazaar, YARAify and ThreatFox; the file itself never leaves your phone. Hashes are kept with an anonymous ID for up to 90 days, and you can delete them in the app’s Settings.

Is Vipera free?

Yes. Vipera is free to download and quick scans are free, with ads in the free version. Premium, a subscription managed in Google Play, adds full and deep scans, automatic scheduled scans, three extra threat engines and a higher daily lookup limit.

How can I test new apps before launch?

Email softwareblankcanvas@gmail.com with the Google account you use on Google Play. You’ll be added to the closed test and get an opt-in link to install pre-release builds of upcoming apps such as YEET BOMB.

Where is BlankCanvas Software based?

BlankCanvas Software is based in Adeje, on the island of Tenerife in Spain’s Canary Islands. Its apps are published on Google Play: DriveIQ is built for learners preparing for Spain’s DGT theory exam, and Vipera for Android users who want to check their apps for malware.
