Quickode
Read full descriptionHide full description
Quickode checks a link before it opens. Scan a QR code and Safe Scan looks at the address on your device, then tells you if it shows warning signs: a hidden short link, a look-alike of a famous brand, a page without encryption or an odd address. SAFE SCAN • Warns about look-alike and scam-style links • Shows the real address before you open it • Runs on your device: the links you scan are not sent anywhere to be checked • No check can promise a link is safe, so Quickode shows what it found and you decide SCAN ANYTHING • QR codes and barcodes, with the camera or from a photo • Torch and camera flip for dark places CREATE CODES • Wi-Fi, website, contact, email, phone, message and location codes • Share or save any code as an image KEEP IT SIMPLE • History of what you scanned and created, kept on your phone • No account needed Quickode is free and supported by ads. An optional yearly Pro subscription removes them. Scanning, Safe Scan and history stay free.

Videmus · QR & Barcode Scanner
Read full descriptionHide full description
Scan any code – and create your own, with logo, colors and your design. Videmus checks by itself that your code stays readable everywhere. No full-screen ad after every scan, no tracking, no forced cloud. Videmus recognizes instantly, shows the result, and connects you to Wi-Fi networks with a single tap. SCANNING • QR codes and all common barcodes (EAN, Code 128, Data Matrix, Aztec …) • Wi-Fi 1-tap connect: scan SSID + password, connect right away • Scan from photos: a QR from a screenshot or your library • Zoom by pinch or slider, automatic lens switching • Several codes in view? You choose which one you mean UNDERSTANDING THE CONTENT Videmus breaks the code into labelled fields instead of one long string: retail and logistics codes (GS1, Digital Link), payment codes worldwide, boarding passes, rail tickets and driving licences. DHL and UPS shipments can be tracked directly. OPEN IT WHEREVER YOU LIKE Next to the open button sits a menu with the alternatives you have installed – browsers, map apps, wallets. You add your own app by pasting a link from it. CREATING CODES Every type has a form with named fields: link, text, Wi-Fi, contact, event, place, payment – or a type you define yourself. Colours, logo, background and frame shape the code; Videmus then scans it back itself and warns you when it is no longer reliably readable. SHARE, SAVE, PRINT Save to Photos, share and print – all natively through the iOS share sheet. As PNG, and for QR codes also as vector PDF. HISTORY Searchable, with favourites and an optional Face ID lock. Backup to your private iCloud, can be turned off anytime. PRIVACY No tracking, no analytics, no account. Your scans stay on the device and, if you use the backup, in your private iCloud. Only two things go online: for product barcodes, the barcode number goes to open product databases such as Open Food Facts, and once a day the app fetches a small list of our own apps and articles from iosapps.de – no identifier, both can be turned off. FREE Videmus is free – no purchases and no paid ads.
