A simple QR code generator that does exactly what it's supposed to, nothing more, nothing less. Create a QR code based on any text, URL, email address, phone number, or anything else, save it as an image in your Photos app and then send it via email, WhatsApp, iMessage, or any other way... And all without any of your personal data being collected, used, or sold. Your data remains your data and stays with you. I develop the "Simple QR code generator" in my spare time. I don't want any money for it (the app is free, there are no in-app purchases, there is no advertising and I don't collect any data), I'm happy when it is used and can help other users in their everyday lives. Unfortunately, errors can creep in during development, in the texts or in the functionality. I try to implement feedback as quickly as possible. If something goes wrong, I would be very happy if you would write me an email before giving a negative review so that I can fix the problem.

MYContacts turns your contact details, your LinkedIn profile, or any web link into a clean, scannable QR code β created and stored entirely on your device. No account, no sign-up, no tracking. Open it and go. THREE KINDS OF QR CODE - Contact card β enter as much or as little as you like (name, title, company, phones, emails, website, socials, address, note, even a photo). The code holds a standard vCard, so one scan adds you to someone's address book. - LinkedIn β paste your profile or just your handle; scanning opens your LinkedIn. - Website / link β paste any URL (a site, booking page, portfolio, PDF, or app listing); scanning opens it. MAKE IT YOURS β COLORFY Style any code without losing scannability: solid colours or gradients, square / rounded / dot modules, custom finder corners, a transparent background, and a logo or short text in the centre. Pick from ready-made templates or build your own. Error correction is always set to the highest level so styled codes still scan reliably. SAVE, SHOW, SHARE - Save codes to your on-device library (My QR Contacts) and reopen them anytime. - Show full screen with the brightness boosted, so any camera reads it instantly. - Share the QR as a PNG, share a contact card as a .vcf file, or export your full setup as a JSON config you can re-import later. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your device. The app makes no network calls during normal use, includes no analytics or advertising, and asks for no permissions β it doesn't even need your camera or photo library (you pick a photo through the standard iOS picker). What you create never leaves your phone unless you choose to share it. FREE No purchases, no subscriptions, no ads. MYContacts is a free utility from MapYourTech, where optical and network engineers learn, practice, and advance.
