OmniScan — Fast, Private QR & Barcode Scanner OmniScan is a lightning-fast, privacy-first scanner that reads QR codes and barcodes the instant your camera sees them. No sign-up, no internet connection, no tracking—your data never leaves your device. BLAZING-FAST SCANNING Point and scan. OmniScan uses on-device machine learning to detect QR codes and barcodes in real time, so results appear the moment the code is in frame. Enable the optional scan sound for instant audio confirmation. SMART DUPLICATE HANDLING Tired of scanning the same code twice? OmniScan gives you four ways to deal with duplicates: • Ask — prompts you the first time, then remembers your choice for the session. • Skip — silently ignores duplicates and shows a quick banner. • Count — tallies repeats with a ×N badge on the original entry. • Add as new — keeps every scan as a separate record. BUILT-IN HISTORY Every scan is saved to a local, on-device database automatically. Browse your full scan history, search by code, and manage entries with batch select—copy or delete multiple records at once. History is preserved even when you clear the current scan session. ONE-TAP COPY & SHARE Copy a single code or all selected codes to your clipboard in one tap. Scanned URLs can be opened directly in your browser with a single tap. PRIVACY BY DESIGN • 100% offline—no internet connection required. • No accounts, no cloud sync, no analytics. • All scan data is stored locally on your device. • Camera access is used solely for scanning. KEY FEATURES • Instant QR code and barcode recognition • Four configurable duplicate-scan modes • Persistent local scan history with timestamps • Batch select, copy, and delete • Optional scan confirmation sound • Open scanned URLs with one tap • Clean, distraction-free Material Design interface • Works completely offline OmniScan is the perfect tool for inventory counting, event check-ins, ticket scanning, product lookup, URL collection, and any task where speed and privacy matter.
