A terminal-based QR code generator for phone numbers, supporting both Tel/PSTN and WhatsApp links.

For details on how to develop/contribute to this solution see the contributing doc

Run the following in your terminal:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stefan-crowhurst/qrnum/master/scripts/install.sh | bash

Or to install a specific version:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stefan-crowhurst/qrnum/master/scripts/install.sh | bash -s -- --version 1.0.0

To copy QR codes as images to your clipboard, you need:

• Linux: Install xclip

  # Debian/Ubuntu
  sudo apt-get install xclip
  # Fedora
  sudo dnf install xclip
  # Arch
  sudo pacman -S xclip

• macOS: No additional requirements
• Windows: No additional requirements

Note: Text paste (Ctrl+V) works without any additional tools using OpenTUI's built-in paste handling.

qrnum

qrnum +1234567890              # Generate tel: QR code
qrnum -w +1234567890           # Generate WhatsApp QR code
qrnum --help                   # Show help

• Right-click on QR code to copy as image
• Right-click when input field focused to paste text

1. Image clipboard requires platform tools - Linux users must install xclip (text paste works natively via OpenTUI)
2. Image copying - Image copying, at least in my experience during development has been a little bit iffy, especially when there are things like WSL thrown into the mix to complicate narrowing things down, it may be more reliable to use your platform's screenshot/snipping tool instead. This is probably the main slop artifact in this codebase as it was more of an "eh, let's see what it turns out" kinda feature rather than anything core.
3. Mac support - This has not been tested on a Mac during development so I can't guarantee it'll be perfect, fixes are welcomed
