Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Mohammad, the maker of HoverQR. The idea came from a simple frustration: QR codes are everywhere, but scanning them on your own screen is weirdly painful. Screenshots, extra apps, phone cameras, switching devices—too much friction for something that should be instant. So I built HoverQR with one goal: make QR codes work at the speed of a cursor. You just hover over a QR code on any webpage or image, and it’s instantly scanned. No uploads, no copy-paste, no context switching. Over time, the product evolved to also support QR generation and local history, all stored directly in the browser so your data stays private. This launch is just the beginning. I’d love feedback on: - What QR-related workflows annoy you the most? - Where would instant hover-based actions save you time? - Any features you’d love to see next? Thanks for checking it out — excited to hear your thoughts! 🚀

I built a Chrome extension that scans QR codes just by hovering

I ve built a Chrome extension that makes working with QR codes effortless. You can scan QR codes just by hovering over them no clicks, no extra steps.

You can also generate QR codes by hovering over links or by selecting any text on a webpage and right-clicking to generate one instantly.

If a QR code appears inside a video, simply pause it and select the QR area. The extension automatically scans it and copies the result to your clipboard.

The focus is speed and simplicity, even in places where normal QR scanners don t work.
