Build a run from saved garment care cards and keep their instructions alongside cleaning, drying and put-away checkpoints. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Laundry Runs and select the care cards for the garments you are handling. 2. Review the saved instruction snapshots and record each garment’s cleaning and drying progress. 3. Share a handoff or complete the put-away step. Undo checkpoints in reverse order if needed. Care-symbol guidance and saved cards remain available. Load advice now distinguishes explicit cycle instructions and does not suggest washing a do-not-wash item separately. WHAT TO KNOW A run is a tracking list, not proof that garments belong in one load. Follow each label and consider fabric, color and soil. Unknown or missing washing instructions are not treated as machine-wash compatible. Label temperatures are maximums, not required settings. iPhone and iPad.

MeCode is a code workspace for iPhone and iPad. Scan QR codes, barcodes, and product codes, create everyday code images, save recognition history, and keep frequent codes organized with Favorites and Collections. Open the app and scan right away. The camera recognizes QR codes, product codes, linear barcodes, and 2D matrix codes. You can also recognize codes from photos or PDFs. Results can be opened, copied, shared, saved, and favorited. Create codes when you need them. MeCode creates QR codes for URLs, text, Wi-Fi, email, phone numbers, contacts, SMS, locations, and events. It also creates product codes, ISBN, Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, Codabar, ITF-14, Interleaved 2 of 5, Data Matrix, PDF417, and Aztec. QR Style helps you keep QR codes clear and recognizable. Start with a template, adjust colors, shapes, finder style, margin, and correction level, then add a logo. The editor shows reliability status and risk reasons before export. Depending on the code format, you can export PNG, PDF, or SVG files. Batch tasks can export ZIP files. Batch Generate is built for repeated work. Paste lines, paste a table, or import a UTF-8 CSV. Review valid, invalid, duplicate, and generated counts before exporting files or importing results into History. History keeps camera scans, photo recognition, PDF recognition, shared records, manual creations, and batch-generated codes together. Search, filter, review details, copy content, share code images, move frequent codes into Favorites, and group related codes with Collections and Tags.
