QR and barcode scanner apps

This cluster consists of mobile apps for scanning and generating QR codes and barcodes, commonly featuring batch scanning, sharing, and customization, with some adding inventory management or business workflows. The dated history shows entries appearing intermittently from January 2017 through March 2026, with most months having a single new product and a few months (January 2020 and January 2024) having two. The traction leaders are Smart QR Code Barcode Reader, signatum, and QR Code Reader: Scan QR app, each with 0 stars, indicating the highest relative activity signal though no actual star count.

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.
