Smart NFC

Read and write supported NFC tags on compatible iPhones, with record templates, history and advanced tag tools.

Our take

Choose for tags you own or are authorized to manage.

Message history and common record types simplify repeated tag-writing tasks.

Keep in mind: iPad lacks the required NFC hardware; compatibility varies and permanently locking a tag is irreversible.

What you can do

  • NDEF record reading and writing
  • Text/link templates and history
  • Supported-tag formatting and advanced inspection

Good for

  • Developers or users managing their own compatible tags.

Consider alternatives for

  • People expecting unsupported access cards or every NFC standard to work.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 14.0.
  • iPad lacks the required NFC hardware; compatibility varies and permanently locking a tag is irreversible.

Privacy & permissions

Tag contents can reveal contact or account information; the developer states no app data collection.
