QR code to allow iOS devices to easily connect to your wifi network

In plain words

This tool generates QR codes that let iOS users automatically connect to a Wi-Fi network by scanning the code. Homeowners can print the QR code and display it anywhere in their house. The tool embeds the network SSID and password in the code, eliminating manual entry. An optional geofencing feature restricts access to within half a mile of the original location, adding a security layer in case the QR code is shared or photographed.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Today's project: This is a web page that allows you to create a QR code that you can print out and put somewhere in your house. When someone with an iOS device scans it, it will automatically download a wireless profile to their device to auto-connect to your wireless network (SSID & key automatically inserted).…

  Quickly connect to WiFi by scanning text, no typing needed2025 · github.com · ▲44

  I travel and work remotely a lot. Every new place—hotels, cafes, coworking spaces—means dealing with a new WiFi network. Sometimes there's a QR code, which is convenient, but usually, it's a hassle: manually finding the right SSID (especially frustrating when hotels have one SSID per room), then typing long, error-prone passwords. To simplify this, I made a small Android app called Wify. It uses your phone's camera to capture WiFi details (network name and password) from printed text, then generates a QR code right on your screen. You can instantly connect using Google Circle to Search or…

  I built an app to use a QR code as my doorbell2024 · dingdongdoorbell.com · ▲140

  I didn’t have a doorbell before (multiple reasons) and my house feels unwelcoming without one. So I built a doorbell app that uses a QR code - visitors scan the QR code to ring the doorbell and I get notified on my phone. Here is an example of the QR code I have on my door. You can scan it and say hello: https://www.thebacklog.net/img/2024/10/show-hn.png This was also a great excuse to build my first app for Android and iPhone. I’d love to get some feedback before I spend more time polishing the app. Please try it out and feel free to ask me any questions! No…

  Hi HN I built WiFi QR, a simple web app that lets you instantly generate WiFi QR codes to share your network safely — no sign-up and completely free.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
