Glance QR

Free for everyone. Glance QR does three things: it reads codes, keeps them, and makes them. No account, no ads, no network. SCAN • Point the camera and it reads automatically — there is no shutter button • QR codes plus product barcodes: EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-E, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, ITF-14, Interleaved 2 of 5, Data Matrix, PDF417, Aztec, Micro QR and Micro PDF417 • Torch toggle for a dark shelf • Already have the picture? Read a code straight out of your photo library — a screenshot, a saved poster, a code someone sent you WHAT IT UNDERSTANDS Links, Wi-Fi networks, contact codes (vCard and MECARD), phone numbers, SMS, email, calendar events, locations and plain text. Each one offers the action that actually fits: open the link, copy the Wi-Fi password, place the call, open the map. HISTORY Every scan is kept. Search it, star what matters, swipe to delete, or clear the lot in one tap. CREATE Make a QR code for text, a link, a Wi-Fi network, a phone number, an SMS or an email. Choose the error-correction level, then save it to your photos or share it straight from the app. PRIVACY The app makes no network requests. No analytics, no third-party SDKs, no sign-up. Codes are decoded on your iPhone and the history never leaves it — delete the app and it goes with it. Everything works in airplane mode.
