Turn any ticket, boarding pass or loyalty card into a real Apple Wallet pass. Point Walletsmith at a PDF or a photo and it builds the pass for you — barcode, dates, colors and all. Or design one yourself in a visual editor that shows exactly what you will get before you add it. AI PASS CREATOR Got a ticket or a boarding pass as a PDF or a photo? Walletsmith reads it and builds the pass for you — images, times and places included. Powered by Apple Intelligence. LOYALTY AND STORE CARDS Scan the barcode on any plastic loyalty card and carry it in Wallet instead. Supermarket cards, gym memberships, library cards, coffee shop stamps — if it has a barcode, it works. CREATE DOZENS AT ONCE Build a pass once, save it as a template, and create a whole batch of named copies in one go. Guest passes for an event, member cards for a club, badges for a team — each with its own name. A REAL EDITOR, WITH UNDO Pass type, colors, images and text, with a live preview — and full undo and redo, so you can experiment freely. Your pass looks exactly the way you designed it the moment it lands in Wallet. POSTER PASSES The new full-screen pass style in iOS 27. Pick a background photo, add your details and send it straight to Wallet. IMPORT AND PERSONALIZE Bring passes you already have into Walletsmith straight from the share sheet and make them your own. A plain black-and-white boarding pass from the airline? Give it your colors and images. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN AT THE RIGHT MOMENT Choose exactly when and where a pass appears on your Lock Screen, and what the message says. Your gym card when you arrive at the gym, your ticket an hour before the show. SIRI, SHORTCUTS AND CONTROL CENTER Find, show, share or add passes with Siri and the Shortcuts app, search them from Spotlight, and scan or create straight from Control Center. Works with Visual Intelligence too. Siri and Visual Intelligence need iOS 27. MAGIC QR CODES Friends over? Make a Wi-Fi pass — they point a camera at it and connect, no password shared. The same trick works for contact details, locations, email addresses and more. STAY ORGANIZED Group related passes so they stack together in Wallet, and move them between groups whenever you like. Share any pass as an image, a file, or a real Wallet pass. ———————— PRIVACY FIRST Your passes live on your device, and what you put in them is never shared by Walletsmith with anyone. Adding a pass to Wallet sends a small amount of encrypted, non-personal data to my servers. The AI pass creator reads your documents on Apple's Private Cloud Compute — the same privacy-protected infrastructure behind Apple Intelligence. Your data stays yours.
