ScanVault‎ is a fast and simple tool for managing all your QR and barcode scans in one place. You can instantly scan codes to view their content, generate new QR codes when you need to share links or information, and sort everything into clear categories so nothing gets lost. Every scan is automatically stored in your history, with detailed scan information that makes it easy to revisit and reuse important codes later. When you create or scan something useful, you can save it to your gallery or export it for use in documents, presentations, or sharing with others. The free version includes up to five scans, two generated QR codes, and two exports, and supports only QR codes and standard barcodes, which is ideal for light or occasional use. Upgrading to Premium unlocks unlimited scanning, unlimited QR code generation, and unlimited exports, so you can rely on ScanVault‎ for everyday work and personal tasks.
