QR + Barcode display
· v0.5.0
About
Easily generate and display QR codes directly on your Garmin watch!
With QR + Barcode, you can create, store, and quickly access multiple QR codes for tickets, links, contact info, and more.
Features:
- Generate QR codes from custom text
- Store multiple QR codes and switch between them
- Edit or remove saved codes at any time - via Garmin Connect IQ or the app on your device directly
- Glance view for quick access to your most important code
- Simple, intuitive interface, with editability from Garmin Connect
Perfect for travel, events, or sharing information on the go.
Important: You need phone connectivity to set up the codes and download the QR codes (which are generated on a server). After the codes have been cached on the app, the phone is no longer required.
If you have ideas on how to improve the app - please send a message or open a ticket in the Github repository - feedback and contributions to the open source project are very welcome.
What's new
Thanks for the feedback!
[0.4.0]
Added new devices.
[0.3.0]
New
The number of codes you can store went from 10 to 20.
Fixed
Adding a code when the watch's storage was actually full could crash the app instead of failing cleanly. It now shows "Not enough space to save this code" and leaves your existing codes untouched.
Trying to add a code when every slot was already in use used to fail silently, with no feedback. It now shows "All 20 code slots are full."
[0.2.0] New in this release:
Codes are now generated on the watch itself.
- New "Thicker bars" setting, for barcodes that older scanners struggle to read (in the Settings menu)
- Barcodes make better use of the screen width
- The screen no longer dims when you open the menu
- Saving a code with no text now tells you what is missing, instead of doing nothing
- "Code 1 of 1" is no longer shown when you only have one code
[0.1.1] More stability improvements
[0.1.0] Fixed in this release:
- Codes generate on the watch; no network needed at all
- The glance shows your first code instead of "open to load code"
- Codes are generated once and remembered, so they appear immediately
- The screen no longer switches its backlight off when you open the app
- The screen now stays lit while a code is on screen, so it can be scanned
- Long barcodes are no longer drawn off the edges of the screen
- Codes containing & and other special characters now work correctly
- [0.0.20] Improved the glance view for quick access to codes
- [0.0.17] Improvements on offline detection and cache usage
- [0.0.16] Bug fixes and improved sync behaviour
- [0.0.15] Improved the caching/offline system and layout
- Added the possibility of adding a title to the codes - which gets displayed on the screen
- Added more devices and barcode generation
- Added the option to edit codes both from the watch and Garmin settings
