Every QR-Code and barcode deserves to be remembered. You tap the QR code on a restaurant table, open the menu, and close the tab. Two hours later — gone. You spot a loyalty barcode in a mobile email, but your phone can't scan its own screen. You're at the supermarket checkout, fumbling to open the right app while the cashier waits. You screenshot a Wi-Fi password and it disappears under 300 other photos. Sound familiar? SafeScan Wallet is your guide. We built SafeScan Wallet for people who believe a scan should be a permanent memory — not a fleeting moment you scramble to recover. No sign-in. No cloud. No ads. Just a fast, private vault for every code you encounter. HOW IT WORKS 1. Point or Import Scan with your camera or import a screenshot. See a QR code on a website while on your phone? Screenshot it — SafeScan Wallet decodes it directly. No second device needed. 2. It Fills In Automatically The app fetches page titles and favicons in the background. A raw link becomes "Joe's Pizza — Seasonal Menu" before you even open your history. 3. Save to Apple Wallet or Keep Forever Add loyalty and membership codes directly to Apple Wallet, or organize and search them inside your private history vault. --- ADD TO APPLE WALLET Export your scanned QR codes, barcodes, Aztec, and PDF417 codes directly to the native Apple Wallet app. Customize your passes with colors and descriptions, and view a live in-app preview before exporting. Fully supports iOS 27 native rendering (for EAN-13, Code 39, Codabar, and ITF-14) and includes iOS 26 smart compatibility fallbacks. SIRI SHORTCUTS & SPOTLIGHT SEARCH Control SafeScan hands-free using Siri commands like "Scan a code with Code Scanner" or "Show last scan". Find individual scan history records directly from system-wide iOS Spotlight search, powered by secure, on-device semantic search. ULTRA-FAST CAMERA ENGINE Experience near-instant camera startup. The scanner launches in the background. Under high thermal load, dynamic monitoring adjusts frame rates to prevent device heat and conserve battery. ALWAYS ONE TAP AWAY Add SafeScan Wallet to Control Center. One tap opens the scanner, generator, or card wallet from your lock screen. SafeScan replaces the system scanner with one that actually remembers what you scanned. SCAN YOUR SCREEN See a QR code in an email or on a website while on your iPhone? Screenshot it and import it. SafeScan Wallet decodes any image — no second device required. SMART TITLING Every URL is automatically enriched with its page title and favicon. No more "Untitled Link" clutter in your history. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Zero ads, trackers, or cloud accounts required. Your scan history stays on your device. WI-FI, CONTACTS & MORE Scan a router sticker to connect to Wi-Fi instantly. Import vCard business cards into your contacts with a single tap. Open well-known code types natively and execute actions directly. SMART CATEGORIES & FAVORITES Organize your scan collections using folders and customize their icons. SafeScan includes a permanent, non-deletable "Favourites" smart category to keep your most important codes always at hand. CHOOSE YOUR LEVEL: BASIC & PRO We restructured our premium tiers to give you more flexibility: • SafeScan Basic (One-Time Purchase): Permanently unlock Apple Wallet passes and library category organization. • SafeScan Pro (Subscription): Unlock all Basic features plus cloud-powered Link Safety Check to scan URLs for phishing and malware before you open them.
