This is pretty open ended, and I'm not sure "digital tool" is really what I should call it honestly. But basically, I'm putting together a big list of programs, applications, websites and the like that I find useful or helpful in some way, that I think could be beneficial to others.

So far my list consists of things like localsend, alternativeto.net, Microsoft powertoys, does the dog die, etc. Pretty varied list, some very niche some very general purpose, but just those kind of things if that makes sense?

I'm looking for some more to add, so what do you have to contribute?

BinaryEye (for scanning qr codes)

Do you have a recommendation for generating QR codes? I basically want to be able to make qr codes that link to notes so I can see what's in boxes without having to pull them out of hard to reach spots. I see a couple options on fdroid (QRshare and ShareAsQR), but I'm sure there are desktop applications, too.

I usually use qrencode at the command line. It's pretty easy to use. There's a GUI called QtQR but I never felt the need to use it.
