Take control of your storage by seeing exactly where it went. Whether it's burst shots you'll never look at twice, duplicates saved by accident, months of old screenshots, or videos far larger than they need to be, Phone Cleaner shows you the megabytes behind every category and lets you decide what stays. Your photos, your device. Every scan runs entirely on your iPhone, so your library never leaves your hands.

About

QR Code Reader & Scan

Read full description

QR Studio brings together essential tools for working with QR codes and barcodes in one easy-to-use app. Scan with the camera or choose an image from Photos. Before opening a link, QR Studio shows its domain and checks the URL locally for unencrypted connections, IP addresses, encoded domains and unsupported content. These checks do not certify that a website is safe. Create QR codes for links, text, Wi-Fi networks, contacts, events, email, phone calls and SMS. Customize the code color with a built-in contrast check, save codes to your history and share them as images. No account or subscription is required for scanning, local analysis, static QR creation, local history and export. Optional cloud sync and dynamic QR tools use QR Studio's cloud service. Key features: • QR scanner and support for seven common barcode formats. • Read codes from photos. • Inspect link destinations before opening them. • Eight specialized QR code creators. • Local history, search and favorites. • Export QR images and history as CSV. • Optional cloud sync and editable dynamic destinations. • Ads in the free version, with available privacy choices in Settings; Pro removes ads. QR Studio Pro offers optional auto-renewing weekly or yearly subscriptions for dynamic QR services, optional cloud sync and an ad-free experience. Prices, billing periods and any eligible introductory offer are shown before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled in your Apple account settings.
