Generate and scan QR-Codes offline.

Reliable local QR code image generation and scanning with automated history tracking.

In various instances, I found myself in a situation where I needed a quick and secure way to transfer essential text information, such as passwords, keys and URLs, from my computer to my phone. However, the available options were either reliant on an internet connection or involved online services for QR code generation, which raised concerns about security and privacy.
To address this need, I developed this program—a versatile tool that enables both QR code generation and scanning, completely offline. Whether I'm without an internet connection or simply prefer not to rely on external services, this program allows me to seamlessly create and scan QR codes anytime, ensuring a convenient and privacy-focused solution for my offline data transfer requirements.

• User-Friendly Interface: Navigate through options seamlessly with color-coded prompts and messages for a straightforward user experience.
