FAQ
Can I look back at earlier scans?
Yes. QRSpell keeps recent scan results in your scan history.
Does QRSpell need the internet to scan?
No. QR detection runs locally on your Mac.
Are my scan results private?
Yes. Scan results never leave your Mac: no servers, tracking, data collection, analytics, or advertising.
Why does QRSpell need Screen Recording permission?
macOS requires Screen Recording permission before an app can read visible screen content for QR detection.
What if QRSpell needs Screen Recording permission but does not appear in System Settings?
If this happens, add QRSpell manually. Open System Settings, go to Privacy & Security, then Screen & System Audio Recording. Click the plus button at the bottom of the list, then add QRSpell from your Applications folder.
Is QRSpell a subscription?
No. QRSpell is a one-time purchase with no extra in-app purchases or subscription.

If QRSpell crashed
In Finder, open your home folder, then go to Library, Logs, and DiagnosticReports.
As a shortcut, you can open Terminal, paste this command, then press Return:
open ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports
- Finder will open the folder where macOS keeps crash reports.
- Search or sort by date and look for the newest file whose name starts with
QRSpell. - The file may end with
