NFCKit is a focused NFC reader and writer for iPhone. Scan a tag, see what is on it, save it to your vault, or compose a new NDEF payload and write it back. SCAN • Read NDEF records from ISO 14443, ISO 15693, and FeliCa tags • Identify common NTAG21x chips, including memory, lock, and protection state • Open links, contacts, Wi-Fi, and other payloads from the scan result • Save chips you care about in a local vault — nothing leaves your iPhone WRITE Compose one or more records, then write them in a single tap: • Website, social profile, smart poster, and app launcher • Contact card, phone, SMS, email, FaceTime, and WhatsApp • Wi-Fi network and Bluetooth pairing • Maps coordinates and street address • Shortcuts, custom URIs, and calendar events • Plain text, crypto wallet, custom MIME, and external type TOOLS (optional in-app purchase) A one-time unlock — not a subscription — for NTAG housekeeping: • Copy a payload from one tag onto another • Set, test, and remove NTAG21x password (PWD + PACK) • Make a tag read-only, or permanently burn lock bits • Format memory and erase NDEF PRIVACY NFCKit does not require an account.

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.

Verdict

The call

NFC Kit and NFC Kit are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
