How to Scan QR Code on a Mac
I don't know why but Apple refuses to build in the ability to recognize QR codes on macOS. It's such a fuss to pick up a phone just to scan an on-screen QR code. So I built a macOS Shortcut to scan on-screen QR codes. The idea is: brew install zbar and then run zbarimg screenshot.png in the Shortcut.
Now I type "scan qr" in Spotlight and there is the nice easy screenshot selection tool for me to frame the QR code. After that it will just open the link in the QR code, or display whatever it is if it's not an URL.
