WiLens v0.1.0
WiLens is a small macOS utility that scans a Wi-Fi QR code and joins the network — no typing long passwords, no fiddling in System Settings.
Features
- 📷 Live camera QR scanning in a single desktop window
- 🔍 Previews the network (SSID, security type, password state) before joining
- 🛜 Joins the network for you via macOS networking tools
- 📋 "Copy password" fallback if you'd rather connect manually
- 🔒 Local-first — nothing leaves your Mac, no cloud, no tracking
Install
- Download
WiLens_0.1.0_aarch64.dmgbelow. - Open it and drag WiLens into your Applications folder.
- On first launch, right-click WiLens → Open to get past Gatekeeper.
Requirements
- macOS on Apple Silicon (M-series)
- Camera permission (prompted on first scan)
Known limitations
- The app is unsigned / un-notarized, so macOS shows an "unidentified developer" warning — the right-click → Open step above clears it.
- Joining Wi-Fi may trigger a macOS administrator or keychain approval prompt; that dialog is owned by macOS, not WiLens.
- Supports the standard Wi-Fi QR format:
WIFI:T:WPA;S:MyWifi;P:mypassword;;
