## What is Barcode Stash?

Barcode Stash is a fast, private barcode scanner and generator that keeps your entire barcode library organized in one place.

SCAN ANYTHING
Point your camera at any barcode and Barcode Stash reads it instantly. Supports 11 formats: QR, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-E, Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, PDF417, Aztec, DataMatrix, and ITF-14. Bulk mode lets you scan dozens of barcodes in rapid succession - each one is highlighted live in the viewfinder, and duplicates are automatically skipped.

CREATE YOUR OWN
Generate barcodes from scratch. Pick any supported format, enter your data, and get a pixel-perfect barcode ready to save or share. Real-time input validation catches errors before you tap save.

STAY ORGANIZED
Every barcode, scanned or created, is saved to a searchable history grouped by date. Add descriptions, tags, and favorites. Batch select to delete, tag, or export multiple barcodes at once. Filter by type, source, favorites, or tags to find what you need fast.

SMART ACTIONS
Barcode Stash detects what's inside each barcode and offers the right action: open a URL, compose an email, make a call, send an SMS, connect to Wi-Fi, add a calendar event, save a contact, or view a location on the map.

MAP YOUR SCANS
Barcodes captured with location data appear on an interactive map. Choose between standard, satellite, and hybrid views. Add or update locations on any barcode at any time.

SHARE BEAUTIFULLY
Share barcodes as a clean image or as a rich card with the barcode type, raw value, description, date, address, and a map snapshot. Choose exactly which details to include - your preferences are remembered.

COLLECTION STATS
View a breakdown of your barcode library: totals by type, favorites count, tags, locations, and how many you've generated versus scanned.

SYNC ACROSS DEVICES
iCloud keeps your barcodes in sync across all your devices. Changes sync automatically, no duplicates, no data loss.

EXPORT & IMPORT
Back up your entire collection as JSON or CSV, or import barcodes from another device. Duplicates are automatically detected and skipped on import.

FULLY ACCESSIBLE
Complete VoiceOver support throughout the app. Every button, toggle, and barcode row has descriptive labels and hints. Animations respect the Reduce Motion setting.

AVAILABLE IN 10 LANGUAGES
English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

PRIVACY FIRST
No accounts. No tracking. No servers. Your barcodes stay on your device and in your iCloud - nowhere else.

### 4/5 — One of the better ones

*2026-03-08*

This is one of the better barcode apps as far as just having a basic, clean organizer. There are a couple of things that I think would help make this app stand out from the rest of them:

- Allowing us to name the barcodes instead of being stuck with the type of barcode as the title

- Letting us group and color the barcodes for further organization

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback ! Version 1.2.0 has just been released and adds proper tag management (with user defined colors) and the ability to set a title for barcodes.
