Point, scan, create, and organize — no account required. ▸ NEW: MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Open a scan beside your history, Settings pages beside their list, and the QR design with its preview next to the controls. The scanner keeps its viewfinder clear of the fold. ▸ DESIGN YOUR QR CODE Make a code that looks like you. Pick its colors, change the shape of the dots and corners, add a frame with your own words, and put an emoji, a symbol or your logo in the center. A code is checked to make sure it still scans before you save it. Open any code you created later to change its design or edit its content. Free includes color presets; Pro unlocks custom colors, gradients, shapes, frames and logos. ▸ QUICK SCAN WIDGETS Tap once from Control Center (iOS 18) or from your Lock Screen widget to open the QR reader instantly. No unlocking, no searching for the app. The fastest way to scan. ▸ INSTANT SCANNING Point your camera at any QR code or barcode for instant results.

Every scan is confirmed with haptic and sound feedback. ▸ CREATE QR CODES Create QR codes for URLs, plain text, email, phone numbers, SMS, locations, Wi-Fi networks, contact cards, calendar events, crypto payments, and social profiles. Fill in a number or email from Contacts, or pick a place on a map. Share your created QR codes instantly or save them to your photo library. Every code you create is saved to your history. ▸ AUTOMATIC HISTORY Every scan and created code is saved automatically. Today, this week, this month, or older — everything is organized by date. Filter between scanned and created codes. When you scan the same code again, you'll see how many times it's been scanned before. ▸ 18 CODE TYPES Website, WiFi network, contact card (vCard/MeCard), calendar event, phone number, email, SMS, location, social media, video, music, payment, cryptocurrency, App Store link, product barcode, and more — every type is automatically detected and classified. ▸ SEARCH, FILTER & SORT Find any scan with full-text search.
