Relaunch QRDev

Menu bar apps can get “stuck” after permission changes. Quit QRDev and launch it again.

Permissions →

Check Accessibility

The global Open QRDev shortcut is most reliable when Accessibility is granted for QRDev.

Fix shortcut conflicts

Another app may be using ⌘⌥V. Change or reset the shortcut under Settings → Shortcuts.

FAQs

Only the questions that come up the most. Everything else lives in the guide and docs.

I don't see the QRDev icon in the menu bar. (Usually it's in the overflow area)

macOS can hide menu bar icons in the overflow area. Click the » or ›› at the edge of the menu bar to reveal hidden icons — QRDev may be there. You can drag it back into the main menu bar once you find it.

If QRDev still isn't visible, open Applications and launch it again (or restart your Mac).

⌘⌥V doesn't open QRDev. (Accessibility or conflict)

Enable Accessibility for QRDev under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility. Optional: add Input Monitoring if shortcuts are still flaky.

If another app uses the same combo, change Open QRDev under Settings → Shortcuts.

Why won't SVG or high-res copy work? (Plus)

High-res PNG, SVG, and PDF (download) are part of QRDev Plus, a one-time in-app purchase. Without Plus, stick to standard PNG or upgrade from any Plus prompt.

My URL shows a placeholder instead of a QR. (Validation)

QRDev only encodes valid http or https URLs. Check for typos, a missing scheme, or invalid characters. localhost and 127.x hosts are supported with sensible defaults.

What permissions does QRDev need? (And why)
  • Accessibility — helps global shortcuts register and fire reliably.
  • Input Monitoring — optional; can improve global shortcut behavior.

QRDev does not use Screen Recording — it is not a screen color picker.

How do I restore QRDev Plus? (App Store)

Open Unlock QRDev in the app and use Restore Purchases. Purchases are tied to your Apple ID — use the same ID on a new Mac.

Does QRDev upload my URLs or QR data? (Privacy)

QRDev keeps your library and preferences on your Mac. See the privacy policy for details; the app is not built around analytics or cloud sync.
