Built for the door

Instant verdict

A giant green or red screen with the exact age, readable at arm's length in a dark doorway. Underage? See "turns 21 in 43 days" instead of doing date math at midnight.

Reliable in bar conditions

Torch toggle, 2x zoom and near-range focus tuned for small, worn barcodes in low light. Fully offline.

Expired-ID alerts

An expired document turns the screen red even when the guest is of age, with the expiry date shown.

VIP and banned lists

Flag a patron once and get an unmissable banner, with your note, every time that ID is scanned again. Stored only on your device.

Front cross-check

Premium: the camera reads the printed front of the card and compares it with the barcode data. Anything that does not line up is flagged for manual review.

Private by design

No account, no cloud, no analytics. Scan logging is off by default, and the optional log is encrypted and Face ID-lockable.

How it works

  1. Tap Scan and aim at the PDF417 barcode on the back of the license.
  2. Read the verdict: green means the guest meets your age threshold (18, 19 or 21), red means under age or expired.
  3. Optionally flag VIPs or banned patrons, keep a local scan log, and export it as CSV.

Frequently asked questions

Does it detect fake IDs?

No, and we will never claim it does. The app decodes the data inside the barcode and calculates age; a well-made counterfeit can contain a validly formatted barcode. The app does flag internal data inconsistencies and offers a front-vs-barcode cross-check as additional screening signals, but admission decisions remain yours.

Which documents can it read?

Driver's licenses and state/provincial identification cards from the United States and Canada that carry the standard AAMVA PDF417 barcode on the back.

Where does scanned data go?

Nowhere. All processing happens on the iPhone. There is no account and no server. Scan logging is off by default; if you enable it, the log stays on the device, encrypted, and you can delete it at any time.

Is keeping a scan log legal?

Rules vary by state and country, and some jurisdictions restrict retaining data scanned from IDs. That is exactly why logging is off by default. Check your local rules before enabling it.

Does it work offline?

Yes, completely. Scanning, verdicts, lists and the log all work with no connection.
