Plain QR is an honest QR code and barcode scanner. Try every feature free for 3 days, then pay once to keep it. No weekly subscription, no ads and no tracking. What you scan stays on your iPhone. CHECKS EVERY LINK Fake QR codes stuck over real ones on parking meters, menus and flyers are a growing scam. Before you open a link, Plain QR tells you in plain words which website it really opens, and warns you about the usual tricks: • A brand name on a site that is not that brand • A bare number address instead of a website • Look alike characters that imitate a familiar site • Hidden short links (tap Check where it goes to see the real destination without opening it) • Unencrypted pages and file or settings downloads DOES THE OBVIOUS THING • Join a Wi-Fi network from its code • Add a contact, call, text or email • Open a location in Maps or add an event to your calendar • Look up a product barcode Nothing happens until you tap. Plain QR never opens anything on its own. SCAN FROM PHOTOS TOO Read a code from a screenshot or a photo you already took, as well as with the live camera. Reads QR codes and the common barcodes, with a flashlight for dim places. HISTORY THAT STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Search your past scans and star the ones you want to keep. Turn history off any time. MAKE YOUR OWN CODES Create codes for links, Wi-Fi, contacts, email, phone numbers and messages, in your own colors. Plain QR warns you if your colors would be hard to scan. TRY IT FREE, THEN PAY ONCE Every feature is free for 3 days. The trial starts only when you tap Start free trial, and nothing is ever charged automatically. When it ends, Plain QR locks until you unlock it with a single one time purchase. It is never a subscription and never renews. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Codes are read on your iPhone.
