Access your content anywhere

iCandy is a desktop application for your Mac or PC that lets you create and scan QR codes. It takes advantage of your webcam to scan QR codes from your computer. Think of it as the desktop publishing of QR codes.
See your music. Play what you see.
iCandy allows you to create, print, scan, share and track QR codes of your favorite content - videos, music, favorite websites, documents, text messages. Your friends, family and customers can discover your content offline - in the real world - on posters, postcards or anywhere your QR code is visible. They scan the QR code on their mobile phone and voila! the content appears on their phone's browser.

What is a QR Code?
A QR code is simply a square-shaped bar code that lets you quickly retrieve information - a web page, a YouTube video, a phone number, you name it. QR Code software like iCandy utilizes a camera (in our case your computer's webcam) to scan and decode the barcode, retrieving the relevant URL, text message, etc. QR Codes are becoming increasingly popular for mobile computing (it's so much easier to scan a code than it is to type a URL on your phone, don't you agree?)
