About

NFC Tag Pro Writer

Read full description

NFC Tag Pro helps you create practical NFC tags without needing to understand NFC technical details. Read a standard NFC tag, write a clean link, verify the result, and save setups you want to reuse later. The app is built for simple everyday NFC workflows like website links, menu links, review links, booking links, and iOS Shortcuts triggers. NFC Tag Pro works with standard writable NFC NDEF tags. It does not clone payment cards, access cards, hotel keys, badges, or protected cards.

READ • UID, chip type, capacity and tag status at a glance • Decodes every NDEF record type: link, text, Wi-Fi, contact card, phone, email, message, coordinates, MIME • Full memory view in HEX, ASCII or binary with colour-coded regions • Export the memory as .txt or .bin WRITE • Ten content types, each with its own form • Capacity is checked before writing, and the tag is read back and compared byte by byte • Edit, reorder and delete individual records • Erase the NDEF content or reformat the tag TAG SECURITY (NTAG213/215/216, Ultralight EV1) • Set and remove the PWD/PACK password • Choose the first protected page (AUTH0), block reads too (PROT), limit attempts (AUTHLIM) • Lock a tag permanently to read-only, behind a two-step confirmation • Passwords live in the Keychain and travel through iCloud Keychain, end-to-end encrypted HISTORY AND AUTOMATION • Every scan is saved; search, star and give tags a nickname • One-tap templates, batch writing with a counter and a per-tag error log • Copy content to another tag, back a tag up to a file, export and import history as JSON • Shortcuts actions for Siri and automations LIFETIME UNLOCK - $4.99, ONE-TIME, NO SUBSCRIPTION These three features require the purchase; everything else in the app stays free forever: • iCloud backup of the tag history • Export and import of tag data • Reading and editing raw tag memory The purchase restores on every device on the same Apple Account, and the app has a Restore Purchases button. WHAT iOS DOES NOT ALLOW - SAID UP FRONT iOS does not let apps read MIFARE Classic data (only the UID), copy a UID onto another tag, emulate a tag, or join Wi-Fi automatically from a tag. These are system limits that no app gets past. The app includes a page explaining all of them. Requires iOS 18, so an iPhone XR or newer.
