PowerNFC

Read tags, write stickers, scan ePassports, and check supported transit cards — all from one private NFC toolkit built for iPhone.

PowerNFC — NFC Reader, Writer, Passport & Transit Toolkit

PowerNFC turns your iPhone into a private NFC toolkit. Read and write NFC tags, inspect raw tag data, scan electronic passports and supported travel documents, check supported transit card balances and ride history, and keep your NFC activity organized in one polished iOS app.

Encode a WiFi sticker, create an NFC business card, inspect an unknown tag, review your commute card, or verify an ePassport before travel. PowerNFC is built for everyday NFC tasks and deeper technical inspection, with no accounts, no ads, and privacy-first local processing.
