[ 01 ] Overview

Scan in a tap. Create in seconds.

The challenge

Most scanner apps are slow to open, crowded with prompts, and treat making a code as an afterthought. People wanted one tool that scans instantly, creates clean QR codes and barcodes, and keeps a tidy record of both.

The goal

Build an Android utility that opens straight to the camera, reads every common format in a single tap, lets anyone create a code in seconds, and keeps scans organised on the device — no account required.

[ 02 ] What we built

Four tools, one tap away.

01
▣

Scan

Point the camera at any QR code or barcode. Auto-detect, zoom and flash are built in.

02
⊞

Create

Make QR codes for links, Wi‑Fi, contacts and more — or standard barcodes — in seconds.

03
▤

Library

Every scan and creation kept on the device — searchable, taggable and easy to share.

04
⧉

Batch scan

Scan a run of codes back-to-back without leaving the camera, then review or export the list.
