No ads. The camera is live the moment you open the app. Hold it over a QR code or a barcode and it reads it. About 1 MB to download, and it makes no network requests. Every scan gives you the right action at once: open the link, call the number, write the email, send a text, add the contact, join the Wi-Fi, open it in Maps. A barcode number goes straight to a web search. WHAT IT DOES • Reads QR codes • Reads barcodes (JAN, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-E, Code 128, Code 39) • Reads a code from a picture in your photo library • Keeps your last 500 scans in a local history • Turns any text into a QR code you can share • Flashlight toggle • Japanese and English interface SAFER LINKS • It shows you when a link is not encrypted (http) • It warns you about punycode host names (xn--) • It warns you when a URL carries user information The app never connects to a link itself. It hands the link to your default browser. PRIVACY • No network requests • No ads • No in-app purchases • No analytics • No account • Your history stays on your device The App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected". SMALL AND FAST About 1 MB to download. It works offline. There is nothing to wait for. Everything is free. Every feature is there from the first launch.
