# QR-Dragonfly

> QR code generation, redirect management, and click tracking — no account required to try. Free by default, no credit card required. Optional paid plans unlock higher limits.

QR-Dragonfly is a web application that lets users create dynamic QR codes, manage their redirect destinations, and monitor scan analytics. **No account is needed to generate QR codes** — guest codes are created instantly and stored in the browser. Registered accounts unlock dynamic redirect management, click tracking, cross-device sync, and higher code limits.

## What makes QR-Dragonfly different

- **Try instantly, no account needed** — Guests can create QR codes directly on the homepage without registering. Codes are saved in the browser with an option to email them to yourself.
- **Custom QR code colors** — Every QR code (guest or registered) can have a custom dark color and light color, set via a color picker in the creation form.
- **Truly dynamic codes** — The QR image never changes; only the destination does. Reprint-free updates for campaigns, menus, signage, and packaging. (Requires an account.)
- **Per-scan click analytics** — Every scan is recorded with time-series data. See exactly when and how often each code is scanned, not just a total count. (Requires an account.)
- **Direct vs. tracked QR codes** — Registered users can choose between a tracking proxy link (scans recorded, destination changeable) or a direct link (encodes the final URL; not tracked, not subject to plan quotas). Guest codes are always direct links.
- **Active / inactive toggling with global fallback** — Disable individual codes without deleting them. Inactive codes redirect to a configurable site-wide fallback URL (e.g. a homepage or "link expired" page) instead of erroring.
- **Enterprise redirect enrichment** — Enterprise codes can append custom query-string parameters to the redirect URL (e.g. `?utm_source=qr&campaign=spring`) and set cookies on the visitor's browser — all without changing the QR code image. Useful for campaign tracking, personalised landing pages, and marketing integrations.
- **Generous free tier** — 5 active and 20 total QR codes at no cost, no credit card required.

## Key capabilities

- **No-account QR code creation** — Generate a QR code on the homepage without signing in. Guest codes are stored in the browser (localStorage). An optional email-to-self feature lets guests send the QR code image to their inbox.
- **Custom QR code colors** — Choose a dark color and light color for each QR code via an inline color picker. Supported for both guest and registered users.
- **QR code generation** — Create a QR code from any URL. Registered users get a proxy redirect link (e.g. `https://qr-dragonfly.com/r/{id}`) so the destination stays changeable. Direct-link mode encodes the final URL instead.
- **Dynamic redirect management** — Update the target URL of any existing QR code through the dashboard. (Registered users only.)
- **Click tracking & analytics** — Every scan of a proxy QR code is recorded. View per-code scan counts and time-series click data from the QR code stats page (`/qr-codes/{id}/stats`). (Registered users only.)
- **Active / inactive toggling** — Disable a QR code without deleting it.
- **Default redirect fallback** — Set a site-wide default URL that all inactive codes fall back to.
- **Multiple download formats** — Export QR codes as PNG, SVG, JPEG, or EPS.
- **Label-based organisation** — Attach a human-readable label to each QR code.

## Common use cases

- **Restaurant & café menus** — Link a QR code to an online menu. If the menu URL changes, update it in the dashboard — no reprinting required.
- **Business cards** — Add a QR code to a business card linking to a LinkedIn profile, portfolio, or contact page.
- **Event & conference signage** — Link to schedules, speaker bios, or registration pages. Swap URLs between events without reprinting.
- **Retail & product packaging** — Link to product details, warranty registration, or promotional offers.
- **Marketing campaigns** — Track scan counts per campaign. Use dynamic codes to swap landing page URLs mid-campaign without reprinting.
- **Education & training** — Link handouts or posters to course materials or videos. Update content without reprinting.
