NGROK QR Code Generator 🔗

A simple tool that generates QR codes for NGROK URLs, making it easier to access your local development server on mobile devices. I was tired of rewriting ngrok URLs to my mobile phone, so I created a script to generate QR codes.

🌐 Live Demo

Visit https://puliczek.github.io/ngrokqr/?url=https://your-ngrok-url.ngrok.app

🚀 Quick Start

How it works:

1. Start NGROK for port 3000
2. Fetch the public URL
3. Open the QR code generator in your browser

Windows (PowerShell)

Start-Process powershell "ngrok http 3000"; $url = (Invoke-RestMethod http://localhost:4040/api/tunnels).tunnels[0].public_url; Start-Process "https://puliczek.github.io/ngrokqr/?url=$url"

Linux (Bash) (I don't know if this works)

ngrok http 3000; url=$(curl -s http://localhost:4040/api/tunnels | jq -r '.tunnels[0].public_url'); xdg-open "https://puliczek.github.io/ngrokqr/?url=$url"

MacOS (Terminal) (I don't know if this works)

ngrok http 3000; url=$(curl -s http://localhost:4040/api/tunnels | jq -r '.tunnels[0].public_url'); open "https://puliczek.github.io/ngrokqr/?url=$url"

Local Development

If you prefer to run the QR code generator locally, you can download index.html and open directly in your browser.

🔒 Privacy Note

The code is open source and available on GitHub, allowing you to verify the privacy and security measures yourself. The QR code generation process occurs entirely client-side in your browser. No URL data is stored or tracked by this tool. However, since the application is hosted on GitHub Pages, GitHub's standard analytics and logging may capture URL parameters as part of their hosting service.
