ScanX

Features
Read full description

ScanX is designed as a practical tool for capturing and managing visual codes as part of everyday tasks. Rather than focusing only on single scans, the app supports workflows where multiple codes need to be collected, reviewed, and used across different contexts. It is suitable for working with codes found on products, documents, packages, printed materials, and digital screens. Users can scan QR codes and common barcode formats in one session and view the results in a clear, organized list. Batch scanning helps reduce repeated actions when handling multiple items, making the app useful for inventory checks, content collection, verification tasks, and information transfer between physical and digital environments. To improve clarity during scanning, ScanX offers optional vibration feedback and a laser-style scanning animation, helping users easily confirm successful recognition. Camera zoom during scanning allows accurate detection of small or distant codes without interrupting the workflow. In addition to capturing codes, ScanX allows users to generate QR codes from text, links, and other commonly shared information. Generated codes can be reused for sharing, printing, or embedding into documents and presentations. The app is optimized for iOS 26 system features, delivering smooth camera performance, responsive interactions, and a modern experience aligned with the latest iOS platform capabilities. Key features include: - Capture QR codes and common barcode formats - Batch scanning for collecting multiple codes efficiently - Organized result lists for reviewing scanned items - Optional vibration feedback for scan confirmation - Camera zoom support during scanning for improved accuracy - Laser-style scanning animation for visual guidance - QR code generation for sharing information visually - Optimized for iOS 26 performance and system integration ScanX is built for users who work with visual codes regularly and need a reliable way to capture, manage, and reuse code-based information within their daily workflow. We value user feedback and long term improvement. If you have any questions, suggestions, or need support, please contact: easytoreach365#gmail.com

Subnet Scout helps you discover devices and services on the local IPv4 network connected to your iPhone or iPad. Choose or enter an IPv4 CIDR range, start a scan, and watch results appear as the app combines ICMP echo, targeted checks of common TCP ports, and Bonjour service discovery. Features: • Detects the active Wi-Fi IPv4 range • Finds reachable devices with evidence from ICMP, TCP, and Bonjour • Shows hostnames, common open TCP ports, and advertised Bonjour services • Displays service type, hostname, port, addresses, and selected TXT metadata • Searches by IP address, hostname, port, or service • Adapts from iPhone navigation to an iPad split-view interface • Keeps scan results on your device Subnet Scout uses only public iOS and iPadOS APIs. iOS does not expose the system neighbor table to apps, so MAC addresses and vendor lookup are unavailable. Bonjour discovery is limited to service types declared by this app version. Local Network permission is required to scan. Results can vary because of device sleep, firewalls, client isolation, VPN routing, and segmented networks.
