QR ScanGen

A simple cross-platform QR code scanner and generator.

Easy and fast to use, no buttons except to switch cameras. Scanned QR codes are automatically copied to clipboard, open websites & connect to WiFi networks.

Written in Python, using the Qt GUI framework.

Portable executables (jsut for Linux so far) can be downloaded from IPFS:
