## What is Cribbo?

Every HomeKit and Matter device has a setup code on a tiny sticker. You need it again the day you reset, move, or re-pair that device, and by then the box is long gone.

Cribbo keeps every code in one private place. No account, no ads.

Scan once, done
• Scan a HomeKit or Matter QR code, or the printed numbers on a label, box, or manual
• Import your accessories from Apple Home, then scan the ones still missing a code, one at a time
• Or type a code in by hand

Find it in seconds
• Every device in one list, grouped by room
• Search by name, room, category, or code, in the app or from Spotlight
• Tap a code to copy it
• Bring up a Matter device's QR code whenever you need to re-pair it
• Ask Siri: "Show Cribbo code for Front Door Lock"
• Add a device to Apple Home with its code already copied

Private by default
• Codes stay hidden until you reveal them
• Lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID
• Encrypted backups, protected by a passphrase that's never stored
• Optional anonymous analytics, off unless you turn them on

Cribbo Plus
A one-time purchase. No subscription. Shared with your Family Sharing group.
• Unlimited codes (the free version holds 10)
• iCloud sync, encrypted on your device before it's uploaded
