FOSS, simple, easy and privacy-aware. What else an app like this could need?

Binary Eye is an Android app. Are there any Mac or web apps for reading QR codes?

Works exactly as expected. Free, without any ads and open source.

Binary Eye is the most polished qr scanner I have ever used. I like the app a lot.
