Code Reader - QR Scanner

Read, Generate & Save barcodes

Features & Capabilities

Code Reader - QR Scanner is a feature-rich QR and Barcode tool that reads codes with your camera or from images, and can automatically open links, save contacts from VCards, or compose emails from encoded data. It also generates QR and 1-D barcodes from text, URLs, and contacts, and lets you share or save codes.

Additionally, the app supports a Read Code extension for image-based scans, multi-code viewing, clipboard copy, forced HTTPS, and a URL scheme to generate codes quickly. With a fast 60fps scanner, optical zoom on dual cameras, and optional widgets, Code Reader keeps your workflow smooth. Some features may require enabling the extension in the share menu.

User Reviews

Users praise easy, webcam-based QR scanning on Macs, cross-device use, and helpful developer support. Repeated drawbacks include camera focus and inconsistent scanning reliability, privacy/permission concerns, and the app's tendency to auto-open URLs in a browser, which some users find intrusive.
Pros
  • Easy to use / no learning curve
  • Directly scans QR codes with the Mac webcam (no need to take a photo)
  • Works across devices (Mac, iPad, iPhone) for quick access to codes
  • Auto copy to clipboard feature
  • Developer is responsive and helpful in addressing issues
Cons
  • Camera focus/distance issues causing scanning failures on some Macs
  • Inconsistent scanning behavior: sometimes reads and then stops or doesn't display the text
  • Privacy/permissions concerns (saving permissions, contact access)
  • Auto-opening URLs in the browser by default can be undesired or intrusive
