OpenQR is a fast, open-source QR code scanner and barcode reader for iPad and iPhone, built for clear decoded results, deliberate actions, and private everyday scanning. Point the camera at a supported code. OpenQR detects it automatically and displays the decoded content inside the app. Look is the default action, so content is not copied, opened, searched for, or shared automatically. Review the result first, then choose what happens next. Actions for Every Scan Choose Copy, Link, Look, Search, or Share before or after scanning. - Copy: Save decoded content to the device's clipboard. - Link: Open supported links directly, with a web search fallback when needed. - Look: Review scrollable and selectable decoded content without triggering an external action. - Search: Search decoded content in the default browser. - Share: Send decoded content through the system share sheet. Barcode Format Support OpenQR supports Aztec, Codabar, Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, Data Matrix, EAN-13, EAN-8, ITF-14, PDF417, QR, UPC-A, and UPC-E formats. Built for Everyday Codes Use OpenQR with standard QR codes and barcodes on business cards, labels, menus, packages, posters, presentations, products, signs, tickets, transit stops, and websites. Why OpenQR? - Automatic Detection: Scan supported codes as soon as they enter the camera view. - Built-In Sample: Preview the decoded-result workflow before scanning another code. - Camera Controls: Control flash when available and switch between front and rear cameras. - Full-Screen Interface: Keep the camera and essential glass controls at the center of the experience. - Offline Detection: Detect QR codes and barcodes on the device without an internet connection. Online links and web searches may require internet access. - Open Source: Contribute to, inspect, or learn from the publicly available source code. - Privacy-Focused: Use OpenQR without accounts, advertising, analytics, subscriptions, or tracking. - Session History: Revisit recent scan results during the current app session. History clears when the app is relaunched. OpenQR is designed for people who want a clean, focused, and private QR reader and barcode scanner without clutter or unnecessary setup. Open the app, point the camera, review the result, and choose what happens next.
