Your content, logo and camera image
QR codes are made inside your browser. What you put in a code (links, WiFi passwords, contact details and so on), logos you add, bulk lists, and the scanner's camera image and uploaded photos never leave this device. This site does not send them to a server or collect them, and settings are not put in the page address. There are no accounts.
What is stored on your device
Only the four items below are kept in your browser's localStorage. They are not sent to a server.
staycode.set: display settings (effects level, light or dark).staycode.styles: designs you saved under "My designs" (shapes, colors, frame, text and, if added, the logo image).staycode.recent: up to 8 codes you downloaded, copied or shared, with their type, the full content, the design and when they were made. Only URL, text, email, SMS, phone, location, event and WhatsApp codes are kept; contact and WiFi codes are never kept (so phone numbers, addresses and WiFi passwords are not left on the device). The list shows only the start.staycode.lang: a note that you closed the language suggestion bar.
Delete saved designs or clear recent codes with the buttons next to them, or remove everything with your browser's "clear site data".
