No ads, no tracking, no account — and nothing is ever uploaded.

Point your camera at any code and Code Scanner reads it instantly, then offers the right thing to do with it.

📷 SCAN ANYTHING
• Reads QR codes and all common barcodes (EAN, UPC, Code 128, Code 39, PDF417, Data Matrix and more)
• Instant, automatic detection — no shutter button
• Beep and vibration feedback (both optional)
• Scan a code straight from a saved image

⚡ SMART ACTIONS
Code Scanner understands what you scanned and gives you a one-tap action:
• Link → open in your browser
• Wi-Fi → join the network
• Phone number → call
• Email / SMS → start a message
• Location → open in Maps
• Contact card → add to Contacts
• Calendar event → add to your calendar
• Anything else → search the web
Turn on Auto-open links to open URLs the moment they're scanned.

🧩 GENERATE YOUR OWN CODES
• Create QR codes and barcodes (QR, Code 128, Code 39, EAN-13, UPC-A, PDF417, Data Matrix)
• Invert colors for light or dark styles
• Save the code as an image to your gallery

🕘 SCAN HISTORY
• Every scan is saved on your device so you never lose a result
• Copy, share or delete an entry — or tap it to run its action again
• Clear the whole list any time; history never leaves your phone

🚀 BUILT FOR SPEED
• Continuous mode — scan code after code without stopping
• Switch between your device's cameras
• Pinch to zoom, or tap the zoom levels, for small or far-away codes
• Flashlight for dark conditions
• Copy, share or save any result as a text file

🔒 PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Code Scanner has no ads, no analytics and no trackers. Everything — scanning, generating and your history — happens on your device and is never sent anywhere.
