What it does

Scan barcodes. Show the truth inside.

Reads more than QR codes

ScannerZero supports common barcode formats through small, ordered scanner strategies.

Scans shared photos

Share an image with a code in it to ScannerZero and it can decode that photo directly.

Understands payloads

Links, Wi-Fi credentials, email, phone numbers, text, and vCards get purpose-built actions.

Keeps history locally

Scans and captured images stay on your device so you can revisit them without an account.

No surveillance tax

No ads, no analytics, no cloud scanner, no backend service, no upload pipeline.

Screenshots

The results are in, not out.

Scan

Aim the camera, keep the code inside the viewfinder, and let the enabled scanner strategies do the decoding.

Result

Decoded data is shown plainly, with purpose-built actions based on the payload ScannerZero recognized.

History

Previous scans stay local on the device, including the decoded value and the captured image.

Settings

Barcode strategies can be enabled, disabled, and ordered to fit the kinds of codes you actually scan.

Viewfinder

The scan screen stays quiet: camera, viewfinder, and the navigation you need.
