ThisScan reads QR codes, barcodes and Data Matrix in an instant and turns every code into the right action — no typing, no guessing. WHAT IT DOES • Recognises links, Wi-Fi, contacts, phone numbers, SMS, email, locations, calendar events, crypto addresses and plain text — automatically • One-tap actions: open in Safari, call, message, compose an email, open in Maps, copy the Wi-Fi password, add to Contacts or Calendar • Torch for scanning in the dark • History with search, filters and favourites, stored on your device PREMIUM • Create your own QR codes: text, link, Wi-Fi, phone, email or SMS — save to Photos or share • Scan from your library: pick a screenshot or a picture, no camera needed • Unlimited history instead of the last 50 scans PRIVATE BY DESIGN Recognition runs on your device and your history stays there — nothing is uploaded. You don't need an account to scan, and there are no ads. CONNECTED ACCOUNT A separate feature for people who have been given access: an account is connected by scanning a special QR code. While it is connected, codes belonging to that account are sent to its server for processing. You can disconnect it at any time in Settings.
