QRectly

Read full description

QRectly is a native iOS application for scanning and creating QR codes and barcodes for everyday and professional use. It supports over 15 code formats, including all standard 1D and 2D (matrix) formats. The app can also read data from HIBC, GS1 DataBar, and DataMatrix codes, which are widely used in retail, healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing and rarely supported by other apps. The app is built with SwiftUI and works out of the box with no additional setup. It is optimized for low power consumption. At under 10 MB, it is one of the lightest code scanner apps available on iOS. No tracking, no ads, no registration, and no internet connection required. ≡≡≡ KEY FEATURES ≡≡≡ • Broad format support including rMQR and Micro QR • GS1 Healthcare and HIBC code support for medical devices and pharmaceuticals • Decode and validate data encoded with GS1 Application Identifiers (AI) • Battery-optimized scanning engine • Quick Mode for high-volume scanning • Works out of box (no configuration required) • One-tap CSV export of your results • Add notes and (status) labels to any scanned code • 100% offline • No ads ≡≡≡ SUPPORTED CODES: SCANNER ≡≡≡ • 2D: QR, Micro QR, rMQR (Rectangular Micro QR), Data Matrix, Aztec, PDF417, MicroPDF417 • Barcodes (1D): EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, Code 128, Code 39, ITF, Codabar, DataBar Expanded • ID & Driver’s License (AAMVA, PDF417): Supports compliant US and Canadian IDs and driver’s licenses • Boarding Pass: Bar Coded Boarding Pass (BCBP, IATA Resolution 792) ≡≡≡ NATIVE SUPPORT FOR THE GS1 & HIBC STANDARD ≡≡≡ • Reads GS1 DataMatrix, GS1 DataBar and GS1 Digital Link URI codes • Reads HIBC (Health Industry Bar Code) codes, the healthcare standard from HIBCC • Decodes GTIN, batch/lot, expiry date, serial number, UDI (Unique Device Identification) and other detailed product information from a scanned code • Shows warnings directly on the scan result for expired items, upcoming expiration dates, and production dates set in the future • GS1 Code Inspector: Validate syntax and semantic rules inside code contents with checksum, field and expiry date checks ≡≡≡ USE CASES ≡≡≡ • Industry: inventory tracking, warehouse logistics, asset tagging, sample tracking, equipment identification • Health: patient wristbands, medication verification • Travel: boarding passes, luggage tags, hotel check-in codes, transport tickets ≡≡≡ SUPPORTED CODES: GENERATOR ≡≡≡ QR Code, Wi-Fi QR, Data Matrix, PDF417, Code 128 Export as PNG, SVG, or PDF for printing or sharing ≡≡≡ PRIVATE BY DESIGN ≡≡≡ • GDPR compliant • All data stored locally on device • No cloud storage • No internet connection required • No analytics or telemetry • No tracking Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://qrectly.com/privacy
