Binary Eye is a free, open-source, ad-free barcode scanner app for Android built on the ZXing-C++ library. It reads a wide range of barcode formats in any orientation, including inverted codes, and can also generate barcodes.

Use cases

  • scan qr codes on android
  • read barcodes with camera
  • generate qr codes for free
  • scan inverted or rotated barcodes
  • decode data matrix and pdf417 codes
  • open-source alternative to proprietary scanner apps

When to choose

  • you need a free, ad-free barcode scanner on Android
  • you want to both scan and generate barcodes
  • you prefer open-source apps from F-Droid

When to avoid

  • you need barcode scanning on iOS or desktop
  • you need a scanning library to embed in your own app rather than a standalone app
