Binary Eye is an Android application known for its fast barcode and QR code scanner that focuses on privacy, speed and control, with no ads or data collection.
No requirements
The tool functions entirely offline, meaning no internet access is necessary to scan barcodes or QRs. Users are only asked for camera permission. Thus, users can minimize security risks while enjoying complete functionality without limits. The app recognizes a large array of code types. It is easy to capture product labels, tickets or digital links.
Moreover, you can generate various barcodes or QR codes directly from text, URLs, contact info or custom input. Quite helpful for creating WiFi share details, business cards or access tokens. There is an option to configure how the utility reacts to specific types of scanned content. You are able to open a history of captured content as well.
Lightweight
The scanner is optimized for speed, loading instantly and checking codes in real time. The interface supports both dark and light themes with a clean, distraction-free design. As mentioned before, this is an open source project, just like Lawnchair. You do not have to watch advertisements, upgrade to a premium subscription plan to access key features or share your data.
