Q: What's a "good" QR code generator for the phone?
A: ?

There's a recent thread on "scanning" QR codes, where Frank mentioned generating QR codes in passing, where I figured I'd look up generators.

QR codes are used, generically speaking, to share information quickly
Links (websites, menus, apps, documents)
Connection details (Wi‑Fi networks, Bluetooth pairing info)
Contact info (vCards, business card details)
Actions (send an email, open a map location, start a payment)
Data (plain text, IDs, coupon codes)

While there are QR-code generators on the web, e.g.,
<https://www.qr-code-generator.com/>
<https://secret-guest.github.io/barcraft/>

Some of which have Microsoft Windows QR-code generator installers
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/barcraft/>

For privacy reasons, you might want to generate the QR code on the phone.
So the question would be what's a "good" QR code generator for the phone?

The definition of "good" can be different for each person, but I generally
aim for functional, yet free (for privacy reasons), advertisement free, GSF free (if possible), upsell free (if possible) and account free.

Before searching in Skyica App Finder for a decent QR-code generator on
Google Play, I find QR-code generators which appear to be FOSS apps.

QR & Barcode Scanner (says it also generates QR codes)
<https://f-droid.org/packages/com.example.barcodescanner/>

SecScanQR (says it also generates QR codes)
<https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.t_dankworth.secscanqr/>

BinaryEye (supposedly does generate QR codes even if not mentioned)
<https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.markusfisch.android.binaryeye/>

But most people use Google Play (either via Aurora or the Play Store),
so these are some reputed free ad free QR-code generators on that repo.

QR Code Generator and Scanner, NC Studios (only 10+ downloads)
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.navchahals.FreeQR>

QR Generator, by Sharkbyteprojects (only 100+ downloads)
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sharkbyte.qrcodegenerator>

Barcode & QR Code Generator, by Zoho (also has QR code generation)
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zoho.barcodemanager>

QR Genie：Fast & Facile, by HeleyZ (also generates QR codes)
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pringle.codescan.handyqr>

Note that I didn't check yet which of these "use the cloud", as this is
only a first-pass check of free ad free QR code generator apps, but if
any app ever asks you for an account (that doesn't need it)... run away.

It's just not possible to create an app account and still have privacy.
