Beep Loyalty, gift and membership card wallet

Yes. Beep is a free download with no in-app purchases, no subscription and no advertising. Everything is included: scanning, the 800+ store logos, gift card balances and reminders, Apple Wallet, widgets and iCloud sync.

No. There is no sign-up and no login. Your cards are stored on your iPhone and, if you're signed in to iCloud, sync through your own iCloud private database. Beep has no server that holds your cards, no analytics and no tracking.

Tap the plus button, point the camera at the card and press the shutter; a yellow outline marks the barcode once it's in view. From that one photo Beep reads the barcode, the store — from its built-in list of 800+ stores, logo included — and a gift card's PIN, then shows you the card as it will be saved, so you can check it before you tap Save. If the camera can't help, tap Enter number, type it and pick the store yourself. Moving from another app? Tap Choose photo and pick up to 30 screenshots of your cards at once; Beep reads them one after another.

Yes. Enter what the card was worth and log what you spend; the balance and a bar on the card follow, with a history of every entry, and the Gift card tab shows what's left on all your gift cards together. Beep does not contact the retailer, so the balance is what you've logged — the official figure comes from the store's own balance check.

Yes. Give a card its expiry date and Beep sends a reminder 30 days and 7 days before; if the date is less than a week away when you set it, you get one on the last day instead. A gift card you've logged down to zero isn't reminded about, and a membership with an end date gets the same two reminders. Beep only asks for notification permission once you save a card with a date, and you can turn reminders off in Settings.

Yes, any card, in one tap, with its logo and balance. On iOS 27 a card printed with EAN-13, UPC-A, Code 39 or ITF keeps its own barcode on the pass; on earlier versions, and for EAN-8, Wallet shows it as Code 128 with the same number, and Beep says so on the card. A pass doesn't follow the card by itself: after you log a spend or change the card, Beep tells you the pass in Wallet is out of date, and adding it again replaces it.

Yes, always. The store list, the logos and your cards are on the phone, and nothing is fetched when you open a card. Sync with your other devices runs through iCloud whenever there is a connection.

Beep runs on iPhone with iOS 17 or later, with widgets for the Home Screen and the Lock Screen; the Control Centre control and Spotlight search need iOS 18. There is no iPad app. Cards you add to Apple Wallet also show up in Wallet on a paired Apple Watch. The app is in English, Dutch, German, French and Spanish — pick one under Settings → Language, or follow your iPhone's language.
