yfie

A command-line app that creates Wi-Fi network connection QR codes.

By default, the app will output the QR code as ASCII text to the terminal, but you can also export to an image, or simply get the unconverted connection code (if you need that for whatever reason).

NOTE: The app currently cannot generate codes for WPA2-EAP networks. This is a planned feature.

Installation

Use either pipx (recommended) or pip.

pipx install git+https://github.com/jahinzee/yfie.git
