Point the camera, and the right action pops up: open a link, save a Wi-Fi password, add a contact, dial a number, paste text. No taps. No noise. Every code you scan lands in a tidy, searchable history. Star the ones you keep coming back to. Share or copy anything in one tap. Generate fresh QR codes for URLs, Wi-Fi, contact cards or anything else, then save the PNG.
