Maybe you've already found a decent app (or realised that your camera has a built-in scanner), but the confusingly-named Barcode Scanner (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.zxing.client.android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.zxi...) scans QR codes without fuss.
- mcintyre1994 4y agoI should have been clearer, it’s more for debugging - so I need to read the content of the code rather than actually opening it. Eg if there’s an app configured for it then scanning with the built in camera just opens that app and never displays the content. I’m on iOS, tried a few but they all wanted a subscription and were a terrible experience without it. So I wrote simplescan.vercel.app / https://github.com/mcintyre94/simplescan https://github.com/mcintyre94/simplescan which does the job for me! Though Apple have broken using the camera when you save it to your Home Screen and open it as an app which is annoying.

Your usecase explains it, but I'm reasonably assuming Android because recent iOS versions have it built-in.
