QRISP - QR code and barcode Scanner

What inspired you to build this app? I built QRISP because most QR and barcode scanners felt slow, bloated, or overly intrusive. Many were filled with tracking, heavy ads, or unnecessary permissions. I wanted a scanner that was fast, privacy-focused, and reliable even without internet. The goal was simple: create a clean and efficient tool that people could trust and use instantly. What problem are you trying to solve? QR and barcode tools should be simple, but most aren’t. They slow down on older devices, require constant internet, or collect more data than they need. QRISP solves this by keeping everything lightweight and offline-first, removing tracking, and making scanning/generating codes fast, accurate, and frustration-free. It’s built for people who want a dependable everyday tool, not another complex “super app.” How did your approach or process evolve while working on this launch? The process started with speed and privacy as the core priorities. Over time, user testing pushed the design toward a more intuitive, minimalist UI and faster workflows. Performance tuning became a major focus — especially ensuring instant startup and accurate scanning across all devices. As the app matured, I kept both versions aligned so users didn’t feel forced to upgrade. Only one power feature became Pro-only: Collections, a structured way to organize large sets of scans and generated codes. It allowed me to keep the free version fully useful while offering something valuable for power users. For this launch, I streamlined the product story, refined onboarding, polished the UX, and ensured both versions were stable and responsive. The result is a simple, trustworthy tool built from real user pain points, not trends.
