About

ScanPin

Features
Read full description

ScanPin is a QR scanner and QR code reader built for the codes you need again — not just once. Most QR scanners treat every scan like a disposable action: scan, open, forget. ScanPin is different. Preview what you scanned, save it to a searchable QR history, organize it with notes and tags, and find it again later without rescanning. Whether it’s a restaurant menu, hotel Wi‑Fi QR code, event ticket, boarding pass link, contact card, document, coupon, or a place you want to remember, ScanPin turns random scans into a useful personal library. SCAN QR CODES FAST Open ScanPin and scan supported QR codes with your camera. ScanPin recognizes common QR content types so you can move from scan to save in seconds. PREVIEW BEFORE YOU OPEN Before opening supported links, ScanPin can show: • Destination domain • Detected content type • Basic local caution signals • Full link when available These signals give you more context before you tap. ScanPin is not a malware scanner and does not guarantee that a destination is safe. SAVE QR CODES FOR LATER Stop losing useful QR codes after a single scan. Save items with: • Custom title • Notes • Tags • Favorites • Detected QR type • Optional location Your saved scans become a searchable QR library you can return to whenever you need them. BUILD A REAL QR HISTORY Use your QR history to: • Search saved QR codes • Filter and organize your library • Favorite frequently used items • Reopen links without scanning again • Keep related scans together • Find important codes days or weeks later Free users can save up to 10 items. MADE FOR EVERYDAY QR USE RESTAURANT MENUS Save a menu QR code from a café or restaurant so you can reopen it later without scanning the table again. WI‑FI QR CODES Keep hotel, guest, café, office, or travel Wi‑Fi QR codes in your library for easier access later. TICKETS & TRAVEL Save ticket links, boarding-pass links, venue QR codes, travel check-ins, museum guides, and other useful travel-related scans. DOCUMENTS & LINKS Keep product manuals, document links, forms, coupons, contact cards, event pages, and useful web links organized in one place. PLACES WORTH REMEMBERING Optionally save location with a scan so you can remember where you found it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Saved ScanPin content is stored locally on your device. No ScanPin account is required to build your library. Preview and caution signals are processed locally before you choose to open supported links. Pro users can also lock private saved items with Face ID. SCANPIN PRO Upgrade when you want to go beyond the free 10-save limit. ScanPin Pro includes: • Unlimited saved QR codes • Scan QR codes from photos • Collections for trips, work, projects, and personal groups • Map view for saved scan locations • Home Screen widgets for quick access • Face ID lock for private items • Export and import your library LOCAL INSIGHTS ScanPin Pro includes a local insights assistant designed to help you understand and revisit saved content using information from your ScanPin library. HOME SCREEN ACCESS Use widgets to surface recent or favorite saved items so important QR codes are easier to reopen from your Home Screen. MAP YOUR SAVED PLACES When location is enabled for saved scans, Pro users can browse those memories on a map and return to useful places more easily. COLLECTIONS THAT MATCH REAL LIFE Organize saved QR codes into collections for trips, work, events, restaurants, and personal projects. EXPORT & IMPORT Pro users can export and import their ScanPin library. WHY SCANPIN? Because useful QR codes should not disappear the moment you close a browser tab. ScanPin combines QR scanning with the features generic readers often leave behind: QR history, saving, search, organization, preview, notes, tags, favorites, optional location, and private local storage. Scan once. Save what matters. Find it later. Privacy Policy: https://cevik10.github.io/privacy.html Terms of Use: https://cevik10.github.io/terms.html
