## What is QR Handler?

QR Handler is the QR scanner that never acts behind your back: every code shows its full contents first, so you decide what opens.

Point the camera at any QR code or barcode and the result is instant. See the actual link, the actual WiFi network, the actual contact — then open it, copy it, save it, or just walk away. Sketchy parking-meter stickers stay sketchy on someone else's phone.

SCAN EVERYTHING
• QR codes: links, WiFi, contact cards, calendar events, email, phone, SMS, locations, text
• Product barcodes: EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC, Code 39/93/128, Aztec, Data Matrix, PDF417, Codabar
• Flash and camera zoom for dim rooms and far-away posters
• Scan straight from a photo in your gallery

SEE BEFORE YOU OPEN
• Full contents shown before any action — no drive-by links
• Unsafe link types are blocked outright
• WiFi passwords copy with one tap; contacts and events save only when you say so

CREATE YOUR OWN CODES
• Links, plain text, and WiFi networks in two taps
• One-tap templates for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, WhatsApp, and 6 more
• Color presets that stay scannable
• Save to your photo library or share anywhere

HISTORY THAT HELPS
• Every scan and creation in a searchable history
• Favorites for the codes you keep coming back to
• Batch select and delete when you're done

PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE
• No account, no sign-up, no cloud
• History, favorites, and settings never leave your device — and survive app updates
• Works completely offline

Plus a beautiful light and dark mode, haptic feedback, and an interface that gets out of your way.
