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.

Brickr turns your worst-habit apps off — for real. Pick the apps you lose hours to and give each a daily time budget. The moment you cross it, that app BRICKS: a full-screen block you can't just swipe away. The only way back in is a deliberate, physical act — tapping the NFC tag you registered, or scanning your QR code. No tag nearby? Then it stays locked until tomorrow. That tiny bit of friction is the whole point: it turns "just five more minutes" into a decision instead of a reflex. HOW IT WORKS • Choose apps and set a daily minute limit for each. • Use the app normally. When you hit a limit, Brickr blocks it. • Tap your NFC tag (or scan your QR code) to unbrick for the rest of the day. • Everything resets at midnight, so tomorrow starts fresh. BUILT FOR FOCUS • NFC or QR — use a cheap NFC sticker, or a printed QR code if you don't have one. • A custom lock screen that reminds you why you set the limit. • An emergency unlock for the moments you genuinely need it. INSIGHTS THAT ACTUALLY MEAN SOMETHING • A weekly Focus Score, an Apple Health–style ring and a 7-day chart. • See how many times each app bricked, your clean-day streak, and more. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Brickr uses Apple's Screen Time technology. Your app choices and usage never leave your device. No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Ever. Put the temptation just out of reach. Live a little more fully.
