Show full descriptionShow less

NFC Reader & Writer turns your Android phone into a complete NFC toolkit. Hold it near a tag to see exactly what is stored on it, write your own tags in seconds, and let a single tap run your routines.

READ ANY NDEF TAG
• Tag contents appear as soon as your phone touches the tag
• Tag overview: type, UID, technologies, size, free memory and lock status
• Decodes text, URL, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, vCard, email, SMS, phone number, address, app and location records
• Act on a record straight from the result: open the link, join the Wi-Fi network or save the contact

ADVANCED TAG INSIGHTS
• A smart summary of the tag in plain language
• Memory use, compatibility and a security analysis with the tag's security flags
• NDEF decoder and raw data in HEX and ASCII

WRITE YOUR OWN TAGS
• Templates for text, URL, web search, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, vCard, email, SMS, phone, address, location, app, calendar event and custom data
• Presets for smart-home, social and payment links
• Queue several records on one tag and see the estimated size before you write
• Import records from a QR code or barcode, from another tag or from a file

TAG TOOLS
• Copy Tag and Copy Tag to Infinity
• Erase Tag
• Lock a tag permanently (read-only)
• Set or remove a tag password on supported tags

AUTOMATIONS
• Tap a tag to run up to 8 actions: open a link, an app or a map, call or text, set an alarm or timer, show a note, copy or share text, speak text, vibrate, turn on the flashlight, send a web request, or open Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, sound and other system settings
• Toggle mode alternates between two action lists on each tap
• Link an automation to a tag's UID, or write it onto the tag
• One automation included, unlimited with Pro

SCAN HISTORY
• Every read is saved with its time, size and record types
• Reopen, share or delete any entry, and export your history to CSV

NFC COMPATIBILITY CHECK

EXTRAS
