QRMe

QRMe is a small macOS Services-menu app. Select text in another app, choose Services > QRMe, and QRMe opens a window with the selected text encoded as a QR code.

QRMe runs locally. It does not send selected text over the network, and it does not replace the selected text.

Install from a Release

1. Download QRMe.service.zip from the latest GitHub release.
2. Unzip it.
3. Move QRMe.service to ~/Library/Services/.
4. Select text in another app and choose Services > QRMe.

If macOS blocks the downloaded service because it is unsigned, build from source instead. Source-built services are the recommended path for now.

Build the Service Bundle

./scripts/build-service.sh

The service bundle is created at build/QRMe.service.

Install for the Current User

./scripts/install-service.sh

This copies the service to ~/Library/Services/QRMe.service and asks macOS to refresh the Services menu.

To uninstall:

./scripts/uninstall-service.sh

Use

1. Select text in an app such as TextEdit, Safari, Notes, or Mail.
2. Right-click the selected text.
3. Choose Services > QRMe.
4. Scan the QR code from the QRMe window.

macOS and the host app decide whether a Service appears directly in the contextual menu or under Services.

Development Checks

swift build --disable-sandbox
swift run --disable-sandbox QRMe --self-test
./scripts/package-release.sh

Notes

• Very large selections are rejected because they produce QR codes that are difficult or impossible to scan reliably.
• QR encoding uses the MIT-licensed fwcd/swift-qrcode-generator package, derived from Project Nayuki's QR Code generator.
