No external hardware required! The tag content will be read, stored in your history, and opened automatically on the device with the appropriate app or function. With configured tags, you can even trigger HomeKit scenes that were preconfigured in the Home app! Better yet, the app has full voice over accessibility support and includes the ability to make text tags that read the contents out loud, useful for tagging items! On iOS 13 and up, you will be able to write to NFC tags as well! We support writing all the same tag types we support for reading such as text, HomeKit, URL, and more! One can also export the scanned history to txt tab delimited, csv comma delimited, or csv tab delimited files. Useful for tracking events! Want to ask Siri to start scanning a tag? Use Siri Shortcuts to have Siri scan a single or multiple tags. Want a widget or iMessage extension?
