## What is Code Tool?

Small but nice app for scanning and creating Barcodes/QR codes. There is no subscription required. You can generate a lot of different codes and encode a lot of different type of data into the Codes.

- Aztec
- Code 128/Code 39/Code 93
- GS1 Databar
- DataMatrix

- PDF417

Code Tools understands the following types (Schemas) of encoded Data:
- Contacts
- E-Mails
- Events
- Facetime/SMS/Telefon-Links
- Geo-Links
- URLs (http/https)
- Wifi-Settings
- Sepa Transfer (EPC-QR)
- Plain-Text - Whatever data is encoded you can always see the plain text.

You can Share the following Data with Code Tool:

Code Tool can (if you allow it) read data from contacts and events. And also read the current location. You can also share different types of Data through Apples ShareExtensions. Code Tool understands the Data and generate a Barcode with the correct Schema.

Feature Highlights:
- Scan different QR-/Barcodes and understand the Data encoded

Not all type of Codes allow all type of data to be encoded. This is a technical limitation based on the amount of data that can be encoded and the characters that are allowed.
