QRForge — Self-Hosted Dynamic QR Code Generator & Scan Analytics (Source Code)

Most QR code tools sell you a static image: once it’s printed, the destination is locked in forever. QRForge is dynamic — the printed code points at a redirect URL you control, so you can change where it sends people at any time without reprinting a single thing, plus you get real scan analytics.

What it does:
– Create a QR code from any destination URL — get back a scannable image pointing at your own short-redirect link, not the destination directly
– Edit the destination URL after creation — the physical/printed code never has to change
– Dashboard with total codes, active codes, and total scans across everything
– Per-code detail page: a 14-day scan history chart, referrer and device-type breakdowns, and a recent-scans table
– Active/inactive toggle — deactivate a code and scanners see a clean “no longer active” page instead of a broken redirect
– Downloadable PNG for printing or embedding
– Privacy-light by design: no IP addresses are ever stored, only referrer and a coarse device category (Mobile/Tablet/Desktop) parsed from the scan request

What’s included:
– Full TypeScript source code: Next.js, Prisma ORM, Tailwind CSS
– Seeded demo data (4 QR codes, ~90 scan events across two weeks) so the dashboard and analytics look alive immediately
– A README covering setup, moving from SQLite to Postgres for production, and where to add IP-geolocation or custom domains if you want to extend it later

Most dynamic QR platforms charge $5-60/month for exactly this workflow. QRForge gives you the same core toolkit — create, redirect, track, edit — as a one-time purchase you host yourself.

It’s built for small businesses, agencies, and developers who want real “print once, redirect anywhere” QR codes with analytics, without adopting another monthly line item.

Note: this is a single-tenant build intended for one business per deployment. The included README documents all current limitations in full.

License: Regular License — for use on a single end product/project.

Full details: screenshots, how it works, what you receive and its limits are on the QRForge details page.
