Last Updated: May 7, 2026

About QR Code or Barcode
Coming soon to the App Store. QR Code or Barcode is a premium utility for developers, professionals, and design-minded users who want speed without the usual ad noise or predatory subscriptions. It pairs a high-performance Intelligence Scannerâmulti-format decode, batch and single modes, on-device validation, and Smart Actions for payloads like WiâFi and contactsâwith a Customization Studio for beautiful QR codes: eye shapes, module patterns, logo placement with strong error correction, and full ink/canvas color control. A Smart Timeline keeps scans and creations organized with session grouping and metadata, synced across iPhone and iPad via iCloud. Export crisp PNG or SVG, share with the system share sheet, and rely on torch, haptics, and privacy-first design with no third-party tracking servers.
Key Features:
- Intelligence Scanner: QR, EAN-8/13, UPC-A, Code 128, and moreâdecoded on device
- Batch and single scan modes with deep payload preview
- Smart Actions for structured data (e.g. WiâFi, contacts) before you tap
- Customization Studio: eyes (Squircle, Ring, Leaf, Concave), patterns, logos, colors
- High-res PNG (2000²) and SVG export; native ShareLink
- Smart Timeline: sessions, Scanned/Created tags, SwiftData + iCloud continuity
- Torch, tuned haptics, Obsidian-inspired UI built for iOS
- Privacy-centric: no third-party trackers; your data stays in your Apple ecosystem
