QR Code Reader is a fast, free QR code scanner for iPhone. Simple and easy to use: open the app, point your camera at a code and it reads instantly, with no buttons to press and no photos to take. The scanned content is recognized automatically, so URLs and text are ready to open, copy or share in seconds. Barcode scanning is supported too. ■ Scan QR codes in seconds The camera starts as soon as you open the app. Aim it at a QR code and it is detected automatically, so you can scan the moment you need to. The app recognizes what the code contains: open the link, copy the text or share it, without typing web addresses by hand. ■ Scan QR codes from images Got a QR code in a screenshot or a photo? The app reads QR codes directly from images in your photo library. When a code appears on your own iPhone screen, you don't need a second device: take a screenshot and read it right away. It also works for QR code images sent by email or chat. ■ Scan history always at hand Every scan is saved to your history automatically, so you can reopen links, websites and text anytime. You can also share the whole history list at once: scan many QR codes or barcodes in a row, then send them all together. Your history is stored locally on your device. ■ Scan barcodes to look up products Point the camera at a product barcode and jump straight to a product search: compare prices and check details while shopping. ■ Main features - Automatic scanning — point the camera at a code and scanning starts on its own - QR code & barcode scanner — reads both QR codes and barcodes - Scan from image — detect codes in photos and screenshots - Scan history — reopen any past scan with one tap - Share in bulk — send your scan history list in one go - Flashlight — scan even in the dark or in low light - Copy, open or share — open results in Safari or Chrome, copy them or send them to friends - Private — scan history stays on your device - No account — no sign-up, no registration - Free — all features are free to use ■ One scanner for many codes - QR codes — open websites, read text, view details - Restaurant menus — scan the code on the table to see the menu - Coupons & promos — scan discount codes from your favorite brands - Food packages — open product pages from QR codes on the label - Posters, flyers & ads — jump to campaigns and event pages - Product barcodes — scan an item and jump to a product search to compare prices ■ Simple, fast and easy to use QR codes are everywhere these days: menus, ads, posters, packages and tickets.

Nomi · Digital Credentials

Features
Read full description

Nomi — Credentials that live with you. Nomi is the native app that works alongside the Nomi Console, a platform that enables organizations to issue, manage, and verify digital credentials. From a single app, you can manage IDs, access passes, memberships, tickets, diplomas, certificates, and badges, add them to Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, and verify their authenticity in seconds. VERIFY WITH CONFIDENCE Scan a credential’s code and instantly check its status: active, suspended, revoked, or expired. Nomi shows who issued the credential and lets you verify the issuer’s identity through its verified domain. It also distinguishes between a credential that does not exist and a verification request that could not be completed due to a lack of connectivity. ISSUE WITHOUT TYPING Credentials are generated from information already registered within the organization. Select the credential, choose the recipient, and review the information before issuing it. If any required information is missing, Nomi identifies it before the process is completed. DIRECTLY TO APPLE WALLET Add credentials to Apple Wallet and Google Wallet directly from Nomi, and make them available to your users through their corresponding links. People can carry their IDs, memberships, access passes, certificates, and other digital documents where they need them most: on their iPhone and Apple Watch. DESIGN WHAT YOU ISSUE Create and manage templates for credentials and academic recognitions. Preview the result while configuring the design, colors, fields, and information that will appear on each credential. On iPad, Nomi takes advantage of a large-screen interface, keeping the canvas and editing tools available at the same time. DESIGNED FOR APPLE PENCIL On iPad, Apple Pencil lets you work directly on your documents and designs. Sign diplomas, write by hand, and use editing tools without interrupting your workflow. FOR THOSE WHO INTEGRATE Nomi also includes tools for connecting credential issuance with an organization’s existing systems. Manage webhooks, retries, connectors, automatic issuance rules, API keys, and permissions, along with decentralized identity capabilities. Technical tools are available within the platform without interfering with the workflows of people who simply need to issue or verify credentials. WORKS OFFLINE Previously performed verifications can remain available when there is no connection. Nomi indicates when the information was retrieved and automatically updates the data when connectivity is restored. DESIGNED FOR EVERY DEVICE Nomi is a native experience for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. Each device has an interface adapted to its screen and the way it is used. NOMI AND THE CONSOLE This app is a companion to the Nomi Console. Your Nomi account is created and managed by your organization. This app does not allow users to independently create new accounts.
