## What is QRowl?

Put the QR codes you use in widgets.

QRowl lets you create or import QR codes, keep them in a private personal library, and place them in widgets on the Home Screen, in Today View, or in StandBy, where a code stays scannable while the iPhone charges on its side, even in the red Night Mode.

Create codes for text, websites, Wi-Fi networks, phone numbers, email, messages, contact cards, and calendar events. You can also scan with the camera or import QR codes from photos and PDF documents. Add an optional center logo from a photo or SF Symbol, choose foreground and background colors, and search your library when you need a code. Share a code as what it is, a link, a contact card, or a calendar event, together with its image, or print it large on a single page with its name as the title, big enough to scan from across the room. Attach an optional circular location and QRowl can notify you when you arrive, carrying the code in the notification so you can pull it down and scan it without unlocking, or tap it to open the preview.

A File code carries a whole file of up to 1 MB, such as a PDF, an image, or a document. It plays as an animated sequence of QR codes in the preview, another iPhone or iPad running QRowl scans it back with the camera and saves the file, and you can share the file itself or export the animation as a movie.

Your library stays private. Codes and saved locations are stored on your device and can sync between your devices through your private iCloud account. Whether a device sends location reminders is a local setting. Widgets use locally generated previews and never access CloudKit directly.

No separate account. No ads. No tracking. No analytics.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.2.1 — 2026-10-29

Wallet passes and Aztec codes: QRowl now reads Aztec barcodes, the format many boarding passes and tickets use, from Wallet passes, the camera, photos and documents. The code from a Wallet pass is copied unchanged, so it still scans at the gate, and is named after the pass.

You can also switch your own codes between QR and Aztec.

New extra-large widget: on iPhone with iOS 27, QRowl fills the new extra-large Home Screen widget with your code across the full width and its name below.

Plus smaller fixes and improvements.

### 2.1.0 — 2026-10-21

Editing is simpler: no more Edit, Done or Cancel. Change a code and QRowl saves it for you – when you go back, pick another code, share it or leave the app. Changes that don’t make a valid code are simply discarded.

The location map now moves only while a reminder is on, so scrolling past it no longer shifts your saved place.

Plus smaller fixes and improvements.

### 2.0.3 — 2026-10-07

Create QR codes for websites, Wi-Fi networks, contacts, events and more, keep them in your private library with optional iCloud sync, and show them in widgets on the Home Screen, in Today View or in StandBy.

Saved codes also work right from the share sheet: open a website, join a Wi-Fi network, call a number, or start an email or message.

No account, no ads, no tracking.

### 2.0.2 — 2026-10-01

Use your saved QR codes directly from the share sheet: open a website, join a Wi-Fi network, call a number, or start an email or message.

Scanning and importing website addresses is smarter, too. Addresses such as example.com now become links automatically, even without http:// or https://. QRowl adds HTTPS when needed and names the code after the website’s hostname, keeping long paths and queries out of your library titles.

This works with camera scans, photos, documents and clipboard text. The complete website address stays in the QR code.
