## What is qrmacher?

qrmacher makes and reads QR codes. No account, no subscription, no ads and no data collection: what you enter or scan stays on your iPhone or iPad. The app needs no server and works offline too.

NINE KINDS OF CODES
• Link: opens a website
• Contact card: saves a contact on the phone (vCard)
• Wi-Fi: guests scan and they are online, no reading passwords out loud
• Address: opens a place in Maps
• WhatsApp: opens a chat with you, with a pre-filled message if you like. Group and channel invite links work too.
• Email, phone, SMS and plain text

DESIGN
• Foreground and background color, transparent too
• A warning when the contrast is too low to scan reliably
• Your logo from Photos in the center of the code
• A frame with text such as “Scan me”: below the code or as a speech bubble above it
• Adjustable error correction and quiet zone

OUTPUT
• PNG at 512, 1024 or 2000 pixels, to share or save to Photos
• PDF, SVG and EPS for print: vector files stay sharp at any size

SCAN
• Read QR codes with the camera or from a photo
• Open a link, copy a Wi-Fi password, add a contact or an event
• Edit scanned content as a new code

QRMACHER PRO
Buy once, no subscription. Everything that is free today stays free.
• Templates and history: save your brand design with colours, logo and frame, and reopen earlier codes
• Save scanned codes to history
• Many codes from a list: a CSV file from Excel or Numbers becomes a ZIP with one PNG, SVG or PDF per row
• Widget and Shortcuts: your guest Wi-Fi code on the Home Screen, and codes from the Shortcuts app and Siri
• Design styles: round modules, rounded corners and colour gradients
• Print templates: table tent, Wi-Fi card, label sheets and a PDF with bleed for the print shop
• More code types: Google review and calendar event
Templates and history sync between iPhone and iPad through your iCloud. The purchase applies on all devices with the same Apple Account and can be shared through Family Sharing.

VALID FOREVER
The codes are static. The content sits in the code itself, not behind a redirect. They never expire and keep working even if this app is gone one day. You are free to use them, commercially too.

PRIVACY
The app collects no data, needs no account and contains no ads or tracking. It uses the camera only to scan, and the picture stays on the device. It only accesses your photos when you pick an image. To save a code, it may only add images, never view them. Syncing runs through your private iCloud, we see none of it.

For iPhone and iPad, in English and German, with Dark Mode and larger text.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-11-10

New on the About page: “All about the app” takes you straight to qrmacher.de/app, our page about the app with every feature at a glance. Plus small improvements under the hood.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-11-04

New: Settings, behind the gear on the start screen. Save your design, logo included, as the default and it comes back every time the app starts. The eraser asks whether to clear just the content or reset the design too, and the encoded content can stay visible. Thanks for your feedback!

### 1.0.2 — 2026-11-02

The keyboard now goes away when you tap next to a field or scroll, and the return key says “Done”. The code stays a handy size on wide screens. On iPhone Duo, the list and the editor sit side by side when unfolded. Thanks for your feedback!

### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-31

New: WhatsApp codes. Whoever scans lands in a chat with you, with a pre-filled message if you like. Group and channel invite links work too. Tap “Test link” to try the link yourself first.
