🚀 Key Highlights​

1. Hello, QR Pick!​

We’ve said goodbye to "MacQRScanner" and embraced a new identity: QR Pick. The name represents our goal—to let you "pick" information off your screen as easily as picking up a coin.

2. Quick Full Scan​

Tired of selecting areas? Now you can scan your entire screen with a single click.

• Auto-Detection: The app automatically crawls your current display to find any valid QR or Barcode.
• Smart Conflict Resolution: When multiple codes are found, QR Pick won't guess. It will ask you to use the "Area Scan" for precise targeting, preventing accidental link openings.

🛠 Improvements​

• Performance Boost: Optimized the temporary image processing logic, reducing scan latency by approximately 30%.
• Updated UI: All dialogs and menus have been updated with the new branding and refined iconography.

📥 Download​

Head over to the GitHub Releases page to download the latest QR-Pick-v1.2.0.zip.

Note: Since the app is not Apple-certified, please right-click the app in Finder and select "Open" to bypass the initial security warning. Ensure "Screen Recording" permission is enabled in System Settings.

🚀 New Features​

• Global Hotkey Support: You can now trigger the area scanner instantly from any application using Command (⌘) + Shift + R.
• The "QR Pick" Identity: We have officially rebranded! The new name reflects our goal: to let you "pick" information off your screen as easily as clicking a button.

🛠 Improvements & Fixes​

• Enhanced Vision Logic: Optimized the barcode detection request to reduce CPU overhead during scans.
• Smart Window Management: Result windows now automatically bring themselves to the front and close after performing primary actions (like opening a URL).

🐞 Bug Fixes​

• Fixed an issue where column spacing in the WiFi result view was inconsistent.
• Corrected minor localization strings in the Chinese and English versions.

QR Pick was born out of a simple need: a fast, lightweight, and privacy-respecting way to scan QR codes and barcodes directly from a Mac screen without having to reach for a smartphone.

🌟 Key Features in this Initial Release​

• Precision Area Scanning: Use the native macOS selection tool to pick any QR/Bar code on your screen.
• Smart Data Parsing:
  • WiFi: Instantly extracts SSIDs and passwords.
  • URLs: Recognizes web links for one-click browsing.
  • Email: Parses mailto and MATMSG formats for quick communication.
  • Text: Handles plain text for easy clipboard copying.
• 100% Local & Private: No data ever leaves your machine. The app works entirely offline.
• Minimalist UI: A clean, SwiftUI-powered interface that stays out of your way until you need it.

🛡 Privacy Commitment​

From day one, QR Pick is designed to be a "Zero-Trust" utility. It requires Screen Recording permissions to "see" the codes, but it does not store images, record video, or connect to any remote servers. What you scan stays with you.

📥 Getting Started​

1. Download the QR-Pick-v1.0.0.zip from the Assets below.
2. Move it to your /Applications folder.
3. Grant the necessary Screen Recording permissions in System Settings.
