NFC Tools: Tag Reader & Writer

NFC Tools reads, writes, copies, erases and locks NFC tags with a clean, modern interface — your tag content never leaves your phone, no ads, no account. Write a WiFi card for your guests, a digital business card, a review link or a URL sticker in seconds.

And when a tag doesn't work, this app is the only one that tells you WHY: a built-in tag compatibility guide explains the MIFARE Classic chipset problem behind most "tag not supported" one-star reviews.

CORE TOOLS ARE FREE

✓ Full tag reader — serial number, technologies, tag type (NFC Forum Type 1–4, NTAG, MIFARE…), used/total capacity, writable and lockable status. Reads from the discovery cache, so it never crashes when the tag leaves the field

✓ Human-readable NDEF parsing — URL, text, WiFi credentials (SSID, security, password), vCard contact, phone, geo, SMS, email, Smart Poster, Android app records; unknown types shown as hex

✓ Write 8 record types — URL, text, WiFi (standard WSC format, 4 security modes), vCard business card, phone, geo location, SMS, email — with field validation

✓ Erase tags (with confirmation) and copy tag → tag, including one source to many targets in a row

✓ Tag compatibility guide — explains why MIFARE Classic fails on many phone chipsets and which tags to buy instead (NTAG213/215/216); auto-detects incompatible tags and opens the explainer when an operation fails

✓ Write history — every write / erase / copy / lock with success status, stored locally

✓ Robust scanning flow — reader-mode based, so the system never steals the tag mid-operation; if the tag slips out of the field, the sheet stays open and simply asks you to hold it close again. No crashes
