QR Lume – a privacy‑first iOS tool for inspecting QR codes safely

(This was meant to be a Show HN, but my account is too new. Feedback welcome!) A colleague of mine built QR Lume after running into a recurring problem in security work: there wasn’t a safe, privacy‑respecting way to inspect QR codes on iOS without triggering a browser or external request.

Most QR apps auto-open links or include analytics/tracking SDKs, which isn’t ideal for security or privacy use cases. QR Lume runs fully inside Apple’s sandbox, with zero telemetry and no third‑party SDKs.

If you work in cybersecurity, DFIR, or mobile security, we’d love your feedback on how this tool can evolve.
