Barc 24.6 adds a bunch of new ways to quickly find a specific code when you need it. Automatic Siri Integration You can ask Siri to open any barcode in Barc as soon as it's added; no additional setup required. Say "Open (your barcode name) in Barc" to show that barcode's page in Barc. Search Bar A search bar at the top of the barcodes list helps you filter the list to find just the barcode you need. Spotlight Integration Search for your barcodes in Spotlight to open them in Barc. New Shortcuts Actions Several new actions were added to Shortcuts to help you build your own workflows: - Create a new barcode with a given value. - Create a barcode by scanning a photo or screenshot. - Get the value of a barcode. - Get the list of all your barcodes. - Add a relevant location or date to a barcode.

Barc 24.4 adds the ability to save barcodes to Apple Wallet and fixes a few small bugs. Apple Wallet Integration You can add barcodes from Barc to Apple Wallet. Barcodes added to Apple Wallet also include the locations and dates you've added to them in Barc, causing them to appear in your notifications when they're needed. Improved Barcode Widget The Barc home screen widget opens to the specific barcode you've selected, rather than opening to the full barcodes list. Improved Barc Unleashed Design The design of the Barc Unleased purchase page has been improved. Some people aren't ready to make a yearly commitment, and the new design makes easier to find the option to subscribe for a single month instead. Barcode Rendering Bugs - Code 39 barcodes with the "$", "/", "+", or "%" characters now generate correctly. - Code 128 barcodes have a corrected check digit, making them scan properly on devices that checked it. If you have these codes saved, there is no need to re-enter or re-scan them; Barc will properly display the ones you've already added. Misc. Bug Fixes - Sending a support email properly closes the email view when done. - The search bar when adding a location is fully presented when a location is already selected, instead of appearing squished. - The images created by a Barc shortcut have the correct background when requested.

This release of Barc includes the following updates: Increased barcode support Barc now has support for for the Codabar, Code 39, and Code 128 barcode types, which covers the vast majority of reported barcode issues. Fix “Unexpected error” message When trying to add barcodes using the share sheet that use an unsupported format, Barc will now display an error explaining the situation instead of a generic “unexpected error” message. Improve Apple Watch syncing Several people have reported that getting barcodes synced to the Apple Watch app wasn’t working for them. This update will improve and speed up the syncing between your phone and your watch. Barcode view brightness Barc will now increase the brightness of the screen when viewing single barcodes, to make them easier to scan. Prevent unnamed barcodes Barcodes with no names were the cause of some subtle bugs. This update will prevent them from existing in the first place, and add a name to any that exist already.
