QRsafer: QR Code Scanner Review what a QR code contains before taking the next step. Scan with your camera, choose a QR image from your photo library, or enter a website address manually. For website links, QRsafer combines available security information with checks for suspicious patterns and redirects. Results explain the available evidence and distinguish warnings from destinations that could not be verified. No scan can guarantee safety. Supported non-website QR codes, including Wi-Fi details and email or phone actions, receive type-specific review guidance. Nothing is sent, called, paid, or joined automatically. Available actions depend on your device and installed apps. When online checks are unavailable or request limits are reached, QRsafer explains that the destination could not be verified instead of treating missing evidence as proof of safety. PREMIUM Premium adds cloud scan history and ad-free use. Individual and Family plans are available. Family supports up to five accounts and requires Family account setup. Basic QR safety checks remain available on Free. SUBSCRIPTIONS Individual: $4.99/month or $49.99/year. Family: $9.99/month or $99.99/year. Prices shown are U.S. prices; local prices are displayed before purchase. Payment is charged through your Apple account after confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel your subscription in Apple account settings.

Truly Simple QR solves the problem of clunky, ad-filled web generators that sell your data or demand recurring subscription fees.

It provides custom color options, adjustable framing, and tweakable margins, without any fluff. Built natively for Mac, iPhone, and iPad, it works fast and syncs your saved QR codes over iCloud. Features: • Multi-Format Creation: Generate codes for website URLs, plain text, native Wi-Fi networks, and rich contact cards (vCards). • Visual Styling: Choose from three dot shapes (Square, Rounded, Circular), select and save your own custom color collection, toggle transparency, encapsulate your codes with adjustable outer borders, and slide to adjust your margins. • Optimized Exports: Choose exact PNG export dimensions (256px to 2048px) on a slider, or tap the “Copy” button to add the image to your clipboard. • Smart History: Search your synced history across devices and duplicate or edit previous codes. • Embed Logos (Pro): Upload a brand mark (or other image) into the center of any code. • Scalable Vectors (Pro): Export infinitely scalable SVG and versatile PDF files for high-end graphic design, print publishing, or large-scale signage. • Batch Exporter (Pro): Paste a list of URLs or text lines into the inset window to export a folder of individual QR codes.
