Post Description

I travel a lot and commonly find myself connecting to public wifi networks where the details are written down on a card or a piece of paper, which then results in having to fiddle about finding the network and typing in the password

Built this little app so I can just take a photo of it, and then it figures out the details and connects my phone to the WiFi

No sign up, no ads, no tracking

Let me know if you find it useful

Cheers
