SerialMagic Keys provides a simple yet powerful way to connect wireless RFID GEN2 UHF, NFC & barcode readers, meters, sensors, scales, and other wireless devices to easily get data into iOS apps. Why not just use Bluetooth HID (keyboard mode) devices? Many Bluetooth devices are not supported on iOS, and when they are apps must be updated to work. For example use BLE and MFi devices like idChamp® RFID & NFC readers like NF4, RS4, RS3, 1862, 1128, Allflex RS420, LPR, GPR+ Livestock & readers and countless other models with ALL iOS apps that take typed input, e.g. FileMaker Go. RFID-NFC and barcode enable web apps and native apps for inventory, cycle counting, asset tracking, book scouting, package tracking, medical apps - all apps can be RFID, NFC, Barcode, Sensor enabled with SerialMagic Keys. Supports more Bluetooth scanner models than any product of its kind. Scanfob®, idChamp®, BlueSnap caBLE(tm) Bluetooth to RS232 (BLE) dongles. Bluetooth CaBLE can iOS enable virtually any RS-232 device to iOS. Scanfob® 3002i 2D barcode scanner, Scanfob® 2006 laser barcode scanner, Koamtac KDC Scanners, Socket CHS Scanners, 8Qi, Honeywell, Symbol, and hundreds more. Also works with Bluetooth UHF GEN2 RFID readers like Scanfob® Ultra-BB2, Scanfob® Qid, idChamp EUB 4-port, EUA 1-port embedded Gen2 UHF RFID readers CipherLab 1862, TSL 1128 and NFC readers like Scanfob® NFC-BB2. Read & write NDEF data using idChamp® NF4 & RS4. Keyboard simulation can post NDEF data to any app that can accept keystrokes. Read HID Corporate 1000 cards, iClass, Seos, PROX, HID Mobile Access BLE credentials, Apple Student ID, and more using idChamp NF4, and RS4 for high security applications. Write UHF GEN2 EPC and user memory tags with Scanfob® Ultra-BB2, idChamp 1862, idChamp 1128, and more. Measure distance with Leica Disto E7100i, E7500i, etc. and post Keyboard simulation post measurements to all apps that accepts keystrokes. Use measurement rounding feature for simplified use e.g. round to nearest fraction of foot, meter, inch. Post PosiTector 6000 probe coating thickness measurements to any iOS app. Note when using app with non-genuine scanner, registration code may be needed. ## Key features - Connects wireless RFID GEN2 UHF, NFC, and barcode readers - Integrates with sensors, scales, and other wireless devices - Sends data directly into iOS apps - Supports a wide range of Bluetooth scanner models - Enables data input for inventory, asset tracking, and more - Reads and writes NDEF data - Simulates keyboard input for data posting ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | More supported scanners | $29.99 | one-time | | Enable RFID-NFC User Data Reading & Writing | $19.99 | one-time | | PosiTector 6000 support | $89.99 | one-time | | Laser Measurer support | $49.99 | one-time | | Built-in NFC reading | $19.99 | one-time | | Advanced Posting Mode | $99.99 | one-time | | Enable Data Handling | $24.99 | one-time | | Allow Special Key(s) | $19.99 | one-time | | S3 Scale Head support | $79.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (6 of 6) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/serialmagic-keys/id1122825214/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Great service *2026-06-15* Great help from the service team. They helped me set up my GLM laser and they even added a new function specifically knitted for my needs. It is a great tool for anybody who needs to take measurements on the field and automatically typing measurements on your phones clipboard. Great product ### 5/5 — Capturing all NDEF content of multiple NFC tags made easy! *2024-07-27* This app makes it super convenient to capture all NDEF data inside NFC Tags. NFC reading is added to iOS as a virtual keyboard. Simply add the keyboard, hit the NFC button on it and it opens the serialmagic app, then scans the data, keeps it in the paste buffer and switch back to the original app (say notes) and hit the button again and it pastes the data at the cursor. Francois ### 1/5 — DUMB *2023-10-22* This is the most dumb app ever, I downloaded to read my tags but after I downloaded it it was like PAY PAY PAY PAY! Like money here and there and don’t even work. Very disappointed. :( **Developer response:** The app is solid with countless users having success for many years. Apparently there was an unknown issue for this person testing that was not reported. ### 5/5 — Absolutely Essential *2023-03-06* Phenomenally easy to use iOS keyboard companion tool for my Leica laser measure. Far more useful than any software Leica released. I can take measurements and instantly it enters a customizable results in any app I choose via Bluetooth. I can take one measurement and it outputs the result automatically in metric and imperial !!! ### 5/5 — Great app! Now with Bosch laser support. *2022-09-30* After contacting the developer to add Bosch support they quickly added it. It has increased my workflow tremendously by adding the ability to put laser measurements into any other app or spreadsheet I desire. I recommend it to any contractor looking for a more efficient and productive way to measure jobs. ### 5/5 — Works Great *2017-08-24* This Keyboard app together with the DISTO laser measurer , Bluetooth's to an IOS without any flaws. I have been looking for this solution for a while and since I started using this it has made measuring our jobs 50% quicker and without any chance of typos. ## Frequently asked questions about SerialMagic Keys ### What devices can SerialMagic Keys connect to iOS apps?
