QRule
Utilities
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
Press a shortcut, draw a box around any QR code on your screen, and instantly open, copy, or share what's inside. No camera, no uploads – it all stays on your Mac.
QR codes are everywhere – on webpages, in PDFs, in presentation slides, in paused videos, in remote desktop sessions. And your Mac has always had the same clumsy answer: grab your phone and point it at the screen.
QRule fixes that with one gesture.
HOW IT WORKS
Press the shortcut (⇧⌘7 by default).
Your screen freezes and dims, just like the built-in screenshot tool.
Drag a box around the QR code.
That's it. A small panel shows what's inside, with four actions: Open, Copy, Share, or Close.
Links open in your browser. Text is one click from your clipboard. The Share button sends the result to Messages, Mail, AirDrop, Notes, or any share extension you have installed.
WORKS EVERYWHERE
Because QRule reads directly from your screen, it works in any app: Safari, Chrome, PDF viewers, video players, virtual machines, remote desktops, video calls, slide decks – if you can see the QR code, QRule can read it.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Decoding happens entirely on your Mac, powered by Apple's Vision framework
• The capture is a single frame, taken only when you press the shortcut
• Nothing is ever saved, logged, or transmitted – QRule has no network access at all
• No account, no history, no tracking
DESIGNED TO DISAPPEAR
QRule lives quietly in your menu bar and uses no CPU until you call it. There's no window to manage, no settings maze – just a configurable shortcut and a launch-at-login toggle. Press, drag, done: the whole interaction takes about two seconds.
DETAILS
• Selection experience modeled on the native macOS screenshot tool, including multi-display support
• Keyboard-friendly: Return opens the link, ⌘C copies, Esc cancels
• Recognizes links, plain text, Wi-Fi codes, contact data, and anything else a QR code can hold
One purpose, done well: read any QR code on your screen.
