NeatPass 1.0 is officially live on the App Store. After months of development, testing, and fine-tuning, I shipped the first version of what I set out to build: an app that turns any PDF, screenshot, or ticket into an Apple Wallet pass in about 20 seconds, entirely on your device.

What NeatPass Does

The idea is simple. You have a ticket, boarding pass, loyalty card, or membership, stuck in a PDF, an email, or a screenshot. NeatPass scans it using on-device AI, extracts the barcode, dates, and relevant details, and creates an Apple Wallet pass you can pull up from your lock screen when you need it.

No typing. No manual entry. Just share or screenshot your document, and NeatPass handles the rest.

Key Features at Launch

On-Device AI Scanning

Powered by Apple's MLX framework running on your iPhone's GPU. Your tickets are processed locally - only a cryptographic hash is sent for pass signing.

18 Barcode Formats

QR, PDF417, Aztec, Code 128, Data Matrix, and 13 more. Auto-detection works even on low-res, damaged, or angled images.

Smart Lock Screen

Passes appear on your lock screen when you arrive at the right location. Concert tonight? Your ticket shows up at the venue.

Pass Customization

Add logos, adjust colors, set custom fields. The AI extracts colors from your original document automatically.

Works Offline

The ML model lives on your phone. No internet needed for scanning, useful at airports and venues with no signal.

Zero Data Collection

No account, no analytics, no tracking. Only a cryptographic hash leaves your device for pass signing.

Why I Built This

Most ticket-to-wallet apps require you to upload your documents to a cloud server. That means your personal information, barcodes, and travel details pass through someone else's infrastructure. I wanted a tool that does the job without asking you to trust a third party with your data.

The result is an app with no account requirement, no analytics, no tracking, and no cloud processing. Your documents stay on your device.

Pricing

NeatPass is free to try, create and preview passes without watermarks. One pass can be added to Apple Wallet for free. The full app is a one-time purchase of 4.99 euros, no subscription, no recurring fees.

Get Started

Requirements

NeatPass requires iOS 18.1 or later and works best on iPhone 12 and newer. Download it from the App Store, screenshot a ticket, and see for yourself.
