Getting my library cards onto my phone the hard way

Ah I was planning to look into this, glad to hear it's possible to self-generate a pass.

My gym requires subscribers to use their app-generated QR code for entry. I have been using the same QR screenshot for the past 2 years to avoid pulling up the app every time. But even the screenshot takes more time to find in Photos than I would like to.

That's what the built-in shortcut app is for. Have it open the photo on run. Add it to your home screen or lock screen as needed.

That's a great idea! I only recently started using shortcuts and haven't yet developed the habit of solving simple tasks with them.

Edit: works very well. Created a shortcut that opens a specific file from Files, and added it to the home screen with a custom icon.

Pass2U solves this problem nicely, no need to do any coding at all. its free if you're only creating passes for yourself.
