Barc organizes and smartly fetches important barcodes. They’re all over the place. Concert tickets. Reward cards. Gym memberships. Library cards. Weird payment systems. Barc keeps them all in one place, and helps you find them right when you need them. Everything in its place. Many barcodes you need to use regularly don’t already have a nice place on your phone to keep it. Barc can save barcodes from anywhere, whether it’s another app, a website, an e-mail, or even just a piece of plastic. Finders keepers. Hoarding every barcode in your life doesn’t help if you can’t easily find the one you need. With Barc, you can tag barcodes with relevant locations and dates, and Barc will highlight them when the time is right. Saving made simple. Most apps for tracking barcodes require the company that gave you the barcode to already have an app. Barc thinks you should be able to add any barcode you come across. Scan physical barcodes with your camera. Save images from websites or e-mails. If all else fails, Barc even allows you to add barcodes just by taking a screenshot. Barc supports QR codes, UPC, and EAN-13 barcodes. More formats are always being added! Always close at hand. Barc is built to integrate closely with the iPhone ecosystem. Add barcodes to your home screen for quick and easy access based on your current Focus. Build custom workflows in Shortcuts to make barcodes available from Siri or the Action Button. Sync your barcodes across devices with iCloud. Use Barc on Apple Watch to have your barcodes handy, even when you don’t have your phone. Your barcodes. Not ours. Barc keeps your private data private. Your barcodes are kept on your device and in iCloud; we don’t see them (and we don’t want to). We don’t share any of your personal information or shopping habits with third parties. See Barc’s full privacy policy at https://getbarc.app/privacy/ for more information. Unleash Barc’s full potential. Download Barc today and get started in seconds. Barc allows you to save up to 3 barcodes for free. If you need more, try Barc Unleashed with a free 2-week trial to save unlimited barcodes. Barc is provided under a standard EULA.

Barcodey is a loyalty card wallet and barcode scanner. Keeps every loyalty, membership, and gift card in one place. Scan a card once, and it's yours forever: a clean, colorful pass that unfolds to a bright, scannable barcode right at the register. No sign-up, no ads, no cloud. Just your cards, on your phone. WHY BARCODEY • Scan and go — point the camera at any card and it's saved in seconds. Every common format is supported: EAN, UPC, Code 128, Code 39, QR, Aztec, DataMatrix, PDF417, and more. • Built for the checkout moment — tap a card and it unfolds in place with the barcode on a bright white panel at maximum screen brightness. Cashier scanners read it the first time. • Your wallet, your style — give every card its own color. The wall of passes looks like a wallet, not a spreadsheet. • Folders — group cards for groceries, gym, travel, or family. A special Documents folder can hold IDs and licences behind Face ID. • Photos — attach the front and back of a card or document so the fine print is always with you. • Never miss an expiry — add an expiry date to any card or document: it's flagged right on the card, and an optional notification gives you a heads-up 30, 7 and 1 day before. • Find it fast — search, favorites pinned on top, and sorting that includes fully custom drag-and-drop order. • Light and dark — a polished theme for both, following your system setting if you like. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Barcodey has no account, no server, and no analytics of its own. Everything you save stays on your device — nothing you store is ever uploaded anywhere. Scanning happens entirely on-device. When you want a backup, export a file and store it wherever you choose. Barcodey is free. No ads, no subscription, no "premium" barcode limit. Add 2 cards or 2000.
