PearCompanion 2.8.0
New: QR
Read and make QR codes without leaving your desk (its own tile under Capture):
- Scan screen (⌃⇧Q): the familiar crosshair — select any code on screen and its contents land on your clipboard. If it's a link, the notification gets an Open Link button (a plain tap on the notification opens it too). Regular barcodes work as well.
- QR from clipboard: turns whatever you've copied into a QR code card — point your phone at it to send a link across instantly.
- Automatic QR badge: every screenshot is quietly checked; if a code is in the shot, a small QR badge appears on the preview card — click it to copy/open without re-scanning.
Screenshots
- New Copy text button on preview cards: run text recognition on the shot you just took and copy the result — no need to re-select the region with Grab Text.
Clean
- Full clean from the app (opt-in): a new Settings → Cleanup toggle lets the Clean button include system caches. Pear asks for your admin password with the native macOS dialog; cancelling just runs the normal user-level clean. Off by default — nothing changes unless you turn it on.
