Show HN: Connect macOS to WiFi by scanning QR code

[ylj]

I frequently travel and work remotely. Every new place—cafes, hotels, coworking spaces—requires manually connecting both my Android phone and Mac to WiFi. Unfortunately, macOS doesn't sync WiFi credentials with Android phones nor does it connect to WiFi through QR codes.

So I built WiFi QR Go, a macOS app that connects to WiFi networks by scanning standard WiFi QR codes.

Now I can connect my Pixel to WiFi, then use WiFi QR Go on my Mac to scan the QR code displayed on my phone, instantly connecting my Mac without retyping passwords.

Previously, I shared my Android app Wify, which scans printed WiFi credentials. It complements this workflow but isn't required: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43379129

I'd appreciate your feedback or suggestions!

This is probably a little too close to what you just showhned, take a look at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html about reposts.

Sorry, these are two different apps on two platforms that complement each other. I thought this wouldn’t be considered a repost.
