Scanning a menu QR lately? Notice how some links mysteriously expire, or small businesses fork out $20/month just for basic QR generation? That's the predatory SaaS playbook: centralize, then monetize. They hold your data and *links* hostage, expiring them unless you keep paying their extortionate subscriptions.
This is precisely why we built https://createmy-qr.com. It's 37 client-side QR and barcode tools, powered by WASM, running 100% in your browser. Generate truly permanent, offline QR codes for *free*, forever. No cloud, no subscriptions, no data exfiltration.
True digital sovereignty means owning your tools. Let's ditch these rent-seeking middlemen turning simple utilities into recurring revenue streams. Demand better, sovereign tools instead of subsidizing their cloud empires.
