Is there a QR-Code reader application for Mac OS X? I'm using Mac OS X 10.6 and an iSight.

There is an Adobe Air application you can download called QR Reader - works on any platform that has Air installed, and a bunch of online services you could try too - QRGen looks pretty neat - you upload an image of the QR code and then it processes it for you.

Hope that helps.

I tried QRGen but it didn't manage to resolve the QR Codes which I uploaded. But I think your answer is still acceptable as there could be quality issues with the QR Codes I took pictures off ;) – elhombre Mar 7 '11 at 21:08
Have you tried QR Reader as well? Might work better. I've tried QRGen with pictures taken on my iPhone 4 and it worked 4 times in a row. Maybe you are right about the resolution issues. Hope you can get it worked out. Cheers. – Ciaocibai Mar 7 '11 at 21:38

No free app that I'm aware of, but for a few dollars/euro you can download QuickMark from the Mac App Store, here's the link

Since someone down-voted this, it would be helpful if they commented to say why. The app I've linked to does exactly what the OP asked for. – conorgriffin Feb 18 '11 at 18:40

I think it's because the poster asked for a free app. QuickMark does look good and reasonably priced though. – John Kramlich Feb 18 '11 at 19:29
My mistake, you're right. I read the question and not the title. – conorgriffin Feb 18 '11 at 19:50
