Create Apple Wallet passes for unsupported cards

Turn any barcode into a working Apple Wallet pass. Passes are signed with a valid Apple developer certificate and work as expected in Wallet. Works directly from your browser. No data is stored, and it’s free. 21,000 passes generated since launching on December 22, 2025. Built with costs in mind and hosted on Cloudflare Workers to keep it low-cost, so it won’t go away or suddenly become monetized.

I built this after hitting a small but annoying problem. One shop I buy from doesn't offer Apple Wallet and I had to download their 250MB app just to show the card at checkout.
I could've used another Wallet app or taken a screenshot, but both aren't as simple as double-tapping for Wallet. I learned I could create the .pkpass file myself, but when I tried adding it to Wallet it didn't work. Passes need to be signed with an Apple developer certificate.
Since I just got an Apple Dev account, I built a minimal app that creates and signs Wallet passes from your existing barcode or QR code cards.
Shared it on Hacker News and it got picked up on r/apple, showing real interest beyond my use case. That pushed me to launch here on Product Hunt.
The app is intentionally simple. Happy to answer questions or hear feedback.
@alen_todorov Alen, I ask myself why doesn’t this already exist! How do you think about long-term maintenance and compatibility with Apple Wallet requirements (certificates, pass formats, OS updates) while keeping the app as minimal as it is today?

I like that you built this just because you needed it yourself, those tools usually turn out the best. Curious, do users need any tech setup, or is it really just upload and add to Wallet?
Alen, this is awesome. I was finally able to add my gym and library cards to my wallet. It previously took 4 taps to open my gym QR code through their native app + 5 more seconds for it to load (or fail to load on their app haha). Thank you!
PS - a note for people adding cards to their wallet: they seem to all be grouped into one stack, with the most recent card added appearing first in the stack. So, add them in reverse order (least used to most frequently used) if you need to access one of them a lot. There may be a workaround to this, so double check me! ◡̈
Finally! I’m so tired of having to download a 200MB app just to show a barcode at a grocery store checkout. This is such a simple, elegant solution for gym memberships and local library cards that usually live as physical plastic in my drawer. Love that it's browser-based and free!
Interesting product! Do a mailing campaign targeting well-known DJs and other musicians.
Since passes have to be signed with Apple certificates, I find closed-source tools in a bit of a grey zone - your barcode data is being processed by someone else's certificate.
For those who prefer full control, here's an open-source alternative you can self-host with your own Apple Developer certificate: https://github.com/keskinonur/cuzdan
