■ The tools you reach for first. Apple's Camera opens a scanned QR link the instant you tap it — you never see where it really goes. QR Scanner shows you the FULL destination and runs an on-device phishing check BEFORE anything opens. See exactly where a code leads, decide for yourself, then open. No internet, no account, no ads, no tracking. Turn on airplane mode and it still works. That's the whole point. Scan, the safety check, and your history all happen on your device. No subscription, no ads. ------------------------------- ● See the link before you open it ------------------------------- • The result sheet shows the decoded destination in full — no instant redirect, no surprise. • Got a code in a screenshot or a saved picture? Scan it straight from your photos. The decoding runs on your device, and it works even when the camera isn't available. • An on-device phishing check flags the usual traps: not-https, a raw IP-address host, punycode and look-alike characters, the "real-looking name hides the true destination" trick, overly deep subdomains, link shorteners, and abused domain endings. • A clear verdict — green safe, amber caution, red danger — always with an icon and a label, never colour alone. • A dangerous link needs an explicit second confirmation before it can open. No accidental taps. ------------------------------- ● Make codes, keep your own history ------------------------------- • Offline QR code maker — turn typed text into a code, no connection needed. • Ready-made templates: Wi-Fi, a contact, an email or a phone number. Fill in the fields and the code is built on your phone. • A scan history that lives only on your phone and is never uploaded. ------------------------------- ● Private and offline by design ------------------------------- • The camera is used ONLY to read codes on-device — no frame is recorded or uploaded. Scanning runs on ZXing, on your device, not in any cloud. • Zero network calls after install — provable in airplane mode. Privacy label: Data Not Collected. • You can see it, not just read it: an OFFLINE badge sits on the viewfinder while the camera runs, and your history states plainly that it stays on this phone. • No analytics, no ads, no account. ------------------------------- ● Built to be used by anyone ------------------------------- • 64 × 64 pt touch targets · AMOLED black · Electric Indigo accent · WCAG-AAA contrast • English · Korean · Japanese · German · French · Arabic · Simplified Chinese ------------------------------- ● No subscriptions, no ads ------------------------------- No subscription. No ads. No account. QR Scanner joins Scanner and the rest of Baro — lightweight tools that respect your data. "The tools you reach for first."

About

Bluetooth Finder Quick

Features
Read full description

Bluetooth Finder Quick helps you scan for nearby Bluetooth Low Energy devices that are actively advertising. Choose a detected device and watch its changing relative signal strength as a clue while you search. Save a favorite for later and see when the same iOS device identifier was last detected. Features: - User-initiated foreground BLE scanning - Relative signal value and recent trend - Favorites and last-seen information stored on your iPhone - Clear states for signal loss, Bluetooth access, and Bluetooth availability - English and Japanese support Important limitations: Not every Bluetooth device advertises in a discoverable way. Signal strength changes with obstacles, orientation, interference, and device transmit power. It does not provide exact distance or direction. The app does not pair with devices or scan in the background. No account, usage analytics, advertising, or cloud sync is included. Scan information is not sent off your device. Crash reports are sent through Firebase Crashlytics to fix bugs, and you can turn this off in Settings.
