14-day full trial in the app — download it first

Windows is free to use. Scanning, the QR generator, favorites, export, and Android connectivity all work on the free Windows app with no time limit and no ads. The only limit is that History shows your 100 most recent scans — nothing is deleted, and your full history reappears if you activate Personal. A built-in 14-day trial removes the limit so you can try the full experience. See the License page for details.

Online purchase coming soon. The Windows Personal licence will be a one-time $19.99 purchase. Online checkout is being prepared. In the meantime you can download the Windows app (it's free to use), or contact us with questions.
