Scanly | QR Code Scanner and Generator With Scan History, QR Builder and StoreKit Paywall - SwiftUI

Scanly – QR Code Scanner and Generator for iOS

Scanly is a complete, App Store ready QR code scanner and generator template built with SwiftUI and SwiftData. It scans QR codes with the live camera, auto-detects 18 different content types, performs smart one-tap actions, generates fully customizable QR codes, and ships with a professional StoreKit 2 subscription paywall with a 3-day free trial.

Demo Instructions

• No login and no demo credentials are needed. The app is 100% offline – just build and run.
• On first launch you will see the onboarding. After that you land on the Scan History tab.
• Free tier: 3 QR scans and 3 QR creations without any purchase. The premium paywall appears after the limit.
• A StoreKit configuration file (Scanly.storekit) is included, so the subscription paywall and purchases can be tested locally in the simulator without an App Store Connect setup.
