I need an alarm app that lets me scan QR codes. I find that it helps me get out of bed and take my meds in a timely manner. I have QRalarm but it's a onetime use alarm and I can't schedule times for certain days which I find to be really important. I normally use alarmy but it requires the Google Play store and I'd prefer to not have that yk.

Anyone know a foss option?

Not with qr but nfc tags. Since these are cheap you could give it a try

    This would probably work great most of the time. One worry I had when exploring NFC tags was if the tag gets lost, or you are out of home and forget to skip the alarm

    With barcodes/QR you can generate one on the spot if you know what the original one was. Some people just have a thing for the word "barcode"

    Example

    I guess you could always uninstall the app or force shut down the phone

    Is that a QR code that says “barcode”?

    It is, for legacy reasons

    (I quickly threw it together)

    I’m just making sure I decoded it correctly. :)

    Ah makes sense :)

    I find that it's similar to security questions, where I might not remember what exactly to input when I need to regenerate it. "qrcode" vs. "QR-code" etc.

    A better solution to my problem might be to add the code as text, underneath the image when printing it out
