ScanCode

ScanCode scans QR codes and barcodes visible on your Mac screen, or through a connected camera. Use it when a code appears on your desktop and reaching for your phone feels unnecessary: payment QR codes, links, Wi-Fi codes, contact details, calendar events, product barcodes, and more. Scan from your screen Open a QR code in a browser, PDF, email, chat, or banking document and let ScanCode detect it directly on your Mac. No photo, no handoff, no extra device required. Scan with a camera If the code is printed on paper or shown on another device, ScanCode can scan it from a connected camera as well. You can also use Continuity Camera with your iPhone. Inspect before you act After detecting a code, ScanCode can show the result first so you can review it before doing anything else. Then you can copy the value, open links, or configure actions for different kinds of codes. Private by default Scanning happens locally on your Mac using macOS system frameworks. ScanCode does not send scanned content anywhere unless you explicitly ask an action to do that.
