BezahlBrudi

In an effort to reduce the usage of Paypal, I created this simple web app. It can generate GiroCodes that can be used to easily transfer money between friends by showing a QR code that can be scanned by most banking apps. It will import all necessary infos for a normal SEPA bank transfer. No third parties involved, only the banks of the people who want to exchange money.

How to use

Simple visit the webpage under BezahlBrudi.jetzt, and put in your details. The QR code will be generated automatically as you type. You can choose to save your details in your browsers local storage, so you don't have to input your bank details every time.

Installation

BezahlBrudi is a Progressive Web Application (PWA) that can be installed on your phone. It is a little different depending on the Browser and your OS.

OS	Browser	Home Screen Shortcut	App Launcher	How to install
Android	Chrome	✅	✅	Tap the Install as App button or under the ⋮ menu, press Install app
Android	Vanadium	✅	❌	Under the ⋮ menu, press Install app
Android	Firefox	✅	❌	Under the ⋮ menu, press Add app to Home screen
iOS	Safari	✅	✅	Under the Share menu, press Add to Home Screen

Data privacy

The web app doesn't store any data of the sender, the receiver or the transaction outside of your machine. Everything runs locally in your browser. The Remember Data function uses your browsers local storage, so it's not even using cookies.
