That drawer of loyalty cards? The seventeen apps demanding your email address? Done with that. Loyal puts every loyalty card, store card, and membership QR code in one place - and one tap sends them into Apple Wallet, so the right barcode is on your lock screen before you reach the register. Scan it, done Point the camera at any card - QR, Code 128, Aztec, EAN, PDF417 - and it's captured. Got a screenshot instead? Import it from a photo. Old embossed number? Type it in and Loyal draws the barcode for you. Straight into Apple Wallet Every card becomes a proper Wallet pass in its own brand color. Quick access from the lock screen, no app-opening ceremony at checkout. Make them yours Give each card a design (solid, gradient, duotone, or outline), a color, a symbol, your own artwork, and a label - so you spot the right one at a glance. Ask Siri, or use the Action button "Show my Starbucks card" brings the barcode straight up. Works in Shortcuts and Spotlight too, and your favorites sync to Apple Watch for the checkout line. Private by architecture, not by promise • Your cards live on your phone. No account, no cloud, no sync server. • No analytics, no ads, no third-party SDKs. Zero. • Adding to Wallet sends only anonymous file checksums - never your card details. • Free for three cards. Unlimited is a one-off in-app purchase - no subscription. You're the customer, not the product. Built for the checkout line Screen jumps to full brightness when a barcode is showing. Drag cards into your preferred order. Search that actually finds things. Snappy everywhere. Starbucks, CVS, Kroger, Safeway, Walgreens, Target - if it has a barcode, it belongs in Loyal.
