Given Apple's announcements today, Barc's subscriptions for both the one-year and one-month plans have been increased to a year-long free trial, and I'll be releasing an update soon to remove the subscription entirely.
I recommend all users move to the native iOS 27 feature.
Barc 25.8 is out now with enhancements to manual barcode entry and a spooky new Barc-O-Lantern app icon for Unleashed subscribers.

getbarc.app/releases/25.7
Barc's iOS 26 / Liquid Glass update is submitted to the App Store and should (review willing!) be available at release on Monday, September 15.
There's nothing *too* exciting in this release, but it's always fun to be there on day 1. 😄
Barc 25.6 is out now with some simple bug fixes, including better rendering for Code 128 and PDF 417 barcodes.

Barc 25.4 was basically built by all of you. ITF barcode support? Custom icons? Better complications support? Shortcuts improvements? All directly from user feedback.
Barc users have had some really great ideas. So what do you want me to build next?
Barc might be a little late in having a Pride icon, considering it's… already halfway through June. 😬
But it's here to stay! It's one of three new custom icons that you can use for the month, for the year… whenever you want!
Whoops; there was an issue with Barc 25.4 where tapping the scan icon opened the page to enter a barcode manually instead. It's fixed now, in version 25.5: getbarc.app/releases/25.5
Barc 25.4 is now out! Now you can put your barcodes more places on your watch, and have more power in your Shortcuts. Barc Unleashed users can choose a custom app icon. And of course, regular bug fixes. 🙂

I’m also not hiring (since I’m just… me), but unlike that other barcode app, I promise not to shut down, move everyone over to another app, then announce that I’m replacing all my employees with AI right before the holidays.
