Code Cards

Read full description

Keep your loyalty cards, membership cards, library cards and other barcode or QR-code cards together in one simple wallet. Code Cards app is designed to be fast, private and easy to use. Your cards are stored on your device, no account is required, and the app does not automatically upload your wallet anywhere. **Add cards your way** Create a card using whichever method is most convenient: • Scan a barcode or QR code with the camera • Import a code from a photo or screenshot • Enter the card number manually • Choose the correct barcode format when needed The app preserves the original card value so leading zeroes and other important characters are not lost. **Find the right card quickly** Search your entire wallet by card name, mark frequently used cards as favourites, and switch between compact grid and detailed list views. When it is time to use a card, open it in a clear full-screen view designed to make the barcode easy to present at the checkout. **Organise cards into folders** Create folders that match the way you use your cards, such as: • Groceries • Health • Entertainment • Home improvement • Memberships Cards that are not assigned to a folder remain available under Unfiled, so nothing disappears or becomes difficult to find. **Make every card recognisable** Give each card a meaningful name, select a background colour and move it between folders whenever you like. The wallet uses clear, high-contrast text so cards remain easy to identify. **Private by default** Your wallet stays on your device unless you choose to create a backup. There is no mandatory registration, no account to maintain and no automatic cloud synchronisation. This app is intended for loyalty, membership and similar machine-readable cards. It is not designed for payment card details, passwords, identity documents or other confidential information. **Back up when you choose** With Unlimited, you can manually create a backup and save it using iCloud Drive or another file provider available on your device. Restore your wallet later without replacing unrelated cards already stored on the device. Backup files may contain readable card information, so they should be stored somewhere private and handled with care. **Upgrade once** Use the app for free and add up to 3 cards to the wallet, then unlock Unlimited with a one-time purchase when you need more capacity and backup features. No subscription. **Key features** • Barcode and QR-code scanning • Import from photos and screenshots • Manual card entry • Full-screen barcode display • Search and favourites • Grid and list layouts • Custom card names and colours • Folder organisation • Optional manual backup and restore • No account required • Offline-first operation • One-time Unlimited upgrade Carry fewer physical cards and keep the codes you use close at hand.

30% off followed by another 20% off is not 50% off. Discount Stack calculates two successive percentage discounts on the remaining price, then adds optional tax to show an estimated amount to pay. Save calculations with a name. Search your history, reopen an earlier calculation, adjust the values and calculate again. Change the app language, numeral style and currency independently. Changing currency does not convert exchange rates. No account needed. Saved calculations stay on your device.
