CLUSTER CODES-BARCODES-MOBILE-2 · 18 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2011-07-24
QR and barcode scan apps
These mobile apps let users scan QR codes and barcodes, and also generate codes for URLs, Wi-Fi, contacts, and events, with features like saving scan history and sharing results. The dated entries are spread thinly from 2011 to 2026, with about one new product in each of several isolated months, indicating a long-tail market with intermittent additions. All three traction leaders have zero stars, so none currently shows meaningful activity.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
