The NFC tool iPhone should have shipped with.
Read every NDEF record. Write 19 types. Password-protect NTAG215. Memory dump, advanced commands, presets. Free, no ads, no tracking.
Six tools, one cohesive flow
Read every tag
Universal NDEF reader with chip auto-detection across NTAG21x, NTAG424 DNA, MIFARE Ultralight EV1, ICODE SLIX, EM, and more.
Write 19 record types
Text, URI, app link, 22 social platforms, search, mail, vCard, phone, SMS, FaceTime, map, crypto, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, data with variables, Shortcuts, raw.
Password protect
Set and remove PWD/PACK on NTAG213/215/216, permanent lock with typed-UID confirmation. No surprises, no undo prompts.
Memory & dump tools
Read and write per page, export `.bin` dumps, format CC bytes for the chip family. Honest about iOS-side limits.
Advanced APDU console
Raw command REPL with a curated preset library across every supported family. Save your own; export them as `.hexnfc` JSON.
Presets & history
Save tag images, share over AirDrop or Files, 90-day scan history. iCloud sync optional, off by default.
