Do everything with NFC tags

One clean app for reading, writing, saving, cloning and protecting tags.

Read any tag instantly Program tags your way Save once, write anywhere

Read any tag

Tap to see the UID, technology, capacity and every stored record — NDEF stickers, cards, fobs and more.

Write your way

Text, link, phone, email, SMS, or a full contact card. Combine several records into one write.

Copy & clone

Duplicate a tag's contents onto a fresh sticker in seconds — perfect for backups and batches.

Save a library

Keep your favourite tags saved, then write them to any tag later — or share them as a file.

Erase & format

Wipe a tag back to blank, or zero specific memory pages when you want a clean slate.

Lock & protect

Make a tag read-only for good, or set a password on supported NTAG tags.

Three taps, done

1

Tap a tag

Hold your iPhone near any NFC tag. NFC Pocket reads it instantly — you're always in control.

2

Choose an action

Save it, copy it, edit the content, or write something new from a link to a contact card.

3

Tap to write

Hold your phone to the target tag and NFC Pocket writes it — verified, every time.

Private by design

NFC Pocket has no accounts, no analytics and no ads. Your saved tags live only on your device. Nothing is ever uploaded — because there's no server to upload to.

Questions

Which tags does it work with?

Any NFC tag your iPhone can read over the standard NDEF protocol — NTAG/Ultralight stickers, ISO 15693 tags, and NDEF-formatted cards. Reading also shows details for contactless cards and fobs.

Can I copy one tag to another?

Yes. Scan a tag, then tap "Clone to another tag" and hold your phone to a blank writable tag to copy the contents across.

Do I need an internet connection?

No. Everything runs on-device. NFC Pocket works fully offline and never sends your data anywhere.

Why does writing sometimes fail?

A tag has to be writable and have enough capacity. Locked or read-only tags, and messages larger than the tag's memory, can't be written — NFC Pocket tells you why.

Which iPhones are supported?

Any iPhone with NFC running iOS 17 or later. NFC can't be used in the iOS Simulator, so tag features work on a physical iPhone.
