## What is Barcoder?

Barcoder turns your iPhone into a fast, careful barcode and QR code scanner for retail, stock and deliveries. Scan one code after another, keep log, count and checklist lists, catch invalid EAN/UPC codes as you scan, and export everything to CSV or TXT. It all works on your iPhone alone — no account, no sign-in.

Scan One Code After Another
• Continuous scanning adds each code as soon as it's seen — no tapping
• Tap-to-capture mode for crowded labels and shelves
• With several codes in view, Barcoder takes the one nearest the centre — or all of them, in reading order
• A red aim line for 1D barcodes: only the barcode it crosses is read, even on a label with several
• Four frame sizes, up to full screen — codes outside the frame are never read
• Reads EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, ITF-14, Interleaved 2 of 5, Codabar, QR, Data Matrix, PDF417, Aztec, GS1 DataBar and more
• Zoom, torch and tap to focus for small labels
• Pick codes out of a photo, or type a code by hand
• A crisp scanner beep (or a softer sound, at the volume you choose), haptic and on-screen feedback, and VoiceOver announcements

Lists for Every Job
• Log lists: every scan is a row, with its time and an optional note
• Count lists: scanning the same code again adds to its quantity
• Checklists: paste the codes you expect or import them from a CSV or TXT file (Barcoder Pro), then scan to see what's found, missing, over or not on the list
• Duplicate warnings, search, filters and sorting
• Edit quantities and notes, and archive the lists you've finished

Catch Mistakes as You Scan
• Accept only EAN/UPC codes with a correct check digit, numbers only, or your own pattern (Barcoder Pro)
• Set a minimum and maximum length
• Optional clean-up: make letters uppercase and convert EAN-13 codes that start with 0 to UPC-A
• Codes that don't pass are rejected with a clear reason and never reach your list

Export and Share
• Export any list as CSV or TXT and choose the columns
• CSV files open cleanly in spreadsheet apps
• Share with AirDrop, Mail, Files and more, or copy all codes at once
• Export everything as one CSV file

Type into Your Mac — Optional
Get the free Barcoder for Mac from www.thearktech.com/barcoder and pair once by scanning a QR code. From then on, every scan is typed into the app you're using on your Mac — a spreadsheet, a web form, an order system — followed by Enter, Tab or nothing, as you choose. Typing up to 50 codes a day into one computer is free; Barcoder Pro makes it unlimited.
• Count lists and checklists send each code with its quantity when you're done
• Scans made while your Mac is out of reach wait on your iPhone and go through when you reconnect — each one typed once
• Safety first: nothing is typed while a password field is active (Secure Input), terminal apps are blocked by default, batches get a short countdown you can cancel, and one shortcut pauses typing
• Works with Chinese input methods: Barcoder for Mac pastes the text instead of typing it
• Barcoder for Mac requires macOS 14 or later

Barcoder Pro (in-app purchase)
Scanning, lists, checking and export on your iPhone are free with no limits, and so is typing up to 50 codes a day into one computer. Barcoder Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It adds:
• Unlimited typing into your Mac
• More than one paired computer
• Checklist import from CSV or TXT files
• Custom accept patterns
Already bought it? Tap Restore Purchases in Settings › Barcoder Pro.

Private and Secure
• No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking
• Your lists stay on your iPhone
• Scans travel straight from your iPhone to your Mac over your local network, end-to-end encrypted — there are no servers in between, and nothing is sent to us
• A new iPhone can connect only after you type the 6-digit code it shows into your Mac
• Turn off or remove a paired iPhone at any time

Barcoder requires iOS 17 or later.
