Code scanner and creator apps

These apps scan QR and barcode codes, create custom codes, and store scan history for reuse. Their dated entries appear sporadically across different months from 2019 through ین2026-07, with no discernible clustering or trend. All three traction leaders -- QRHub, Scanzo, and Barcode Scanner -- report zero stars, so no product shows a clear advantage.

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.
