Today I have released Begone for iOS, a utility app that helps you manage the many spam calls we receive daily. We receive too many spam calls, robocalls, marketing calls etc. in these times. Unfortunately iOS does not have any way to block number ranges. Begone lets you block the number ranges of these spam …
Today I have released Junkman for iOS and iPadOS, a utility app that helps you manage the endless stream of junk text messages. Unfortunately in these times, we receive too many junk and spam messages along with transactions. Junkman will automatically classify these messages and let the junk be delivered silently without any notification. It …
I released Qrafter 10 years ago today. I have been working on QR Codes for nearly 15 years. The first time I did something semi useful with them, I created a download QR Code for an amateur theme for my Nokia E70 in 2006. I was fascinated with the possibilities back then. There was a …
UPDATE: I researched a little more on this. ipv6 connections require 1280 as the minimum MTU and most router configurations expect to see some standardized MTU. So instead of 1412 as I wrote below, I now recommend 1280 for MTU. While it is smaller and will generate more packets, I think it will encounter fewer …
A few days ago, a referrer to my site got my attention. It was a discussion on a subreddit which was revolving around a QR Code shown in the motion picture. They saw the code on a bathroom stall in the motion picture and it looked like was going to this site. I checked the …

Qrafter and Qrafter Pro 6.1 are now available for download on the App Store. This version came a little too soon after 6.0, but I found some performance issues with the responsiveness of the camera view, so I wanted to optimize it quickly to make it much more responsive. Also, I updated the vCard parser, …
Qrafter and Qrafter Pro 6.1 for iPhone and iPad now available Read More »
Qrafter and Qrafter Pro 6.0 were just approved by Apple. This version drops iPhone 3G and iOS 4.2.1 and earlier support because of restrictions in Apple’s development tools, but with this change it gained iPhone 5 screen support. Also, it lays a new foundation to the scanner framework, which will let it scan many more …
