macOS Menu Bar App

One keystroke
to any QR code

QR Reader lives in your menu bar and scans any QR code visible on your Mac. Press a shortcut, select the area, get the result. No phone required.

⌘ + ⇧ + S
Default shortcut (customizable)

The Problem

📱
Grab Your Phone Every Time

See a QR code on screen? Pull out your phone, open the camera, hold it up to your monitor, and hope it focuses.

⏳
Context Switching Kills Flow

Switching between devices breaks your concentration. A two-second task turns into thirty seconds of fumbling.

😤
No Native macOS Solution

macOS has no built-in QR scanner. Existing tools are bloated, ad-ridden, or require pasting screenshots into web apps.

Features

⌨️
One Shortcut, Instant Scan

Press the shortcut, drag over the QR code, and get the result instantly. Under a second, start to finish.

🔒
Fully Private & Local

All processing happens on-device using Apple's Vision framework. Nothing leaves your Mac — no cloud, no tracking.

🎯
Smart Actions, Zero Clicks

URLs auto-open in your browser. Text auto-copies to clipboard. Choose between notifications or a floating panel.

How It Works

1
Press the Shortcut
Hit Cmd+Shift+S (or your custom shortcut) from anywhere on your Mac.
2
Select the QR Code
Drag a selection rectangle over the QR code on your screen, just like a screenshot.
3
Get the Result
URLs open in your browser, text copies to clipboard. Instant notification with the result.
