About

NoteTag

Read full description

NoteTag turns any barcode or QR code into a rich, updatable note. No printer needed. Every product in your home already has a barcode. Cut one from the packaging, tape it to a container, and scan it with NoteTag. Write the expiry date, the contents, a recipe — whatever matters. You just made a smart label from something you would have thrown away. And the tag is reusable forever. Refill the container with something different? Just update the note. One tag, infinite updates — never peel off a label and replace it again. WHY NOTETAG -- Reusable tags Change what is in the container, update the note. The same barcode serves you forever — rice this month, quinoa next month. No reprinting, no peeling, no replacing. -- Rich notes, not just text Headings, bold, lists, images, checklists. Write a recipe, track an expiry date, snap a photo of the original packaging — all inside one note. -- NOTIFICATION REMINDERS Never lose track. Set alarms for food expiration dates, maintenance routines, or chores—straight from your note to your phone’s notifications. -- Shared Spaces Invite your household or team to a Space. Everyone scans the same tags and sees the same notes. One person organizes, everyone benefits. -- Private by default Your notes are visible only to people in your Space. Someone scanning the same barcode with a normal scanner sees the original product info — not your notes. -- Works offline Write and edit notes without a connection. Everything syncs when you are back online. USE IT EVERYWHERE Kitchen and pantry: expiry dates, contents, and allergens on every container. Freezer: what is inside and when you froze it. No more mystery bags. Family recipes: stick a QR tag in your cookbook. Your recipe is one scan away. Workshop: which bin has the M3 screws? Scan the barcode. Now you know. Storage and moving boxes: tag every box once, update the contents list as things change. Shared household: pet feeding schedules, plant care, medication info — the whole family checks the same tag. Want dedicated tags? Print a free sheet of QR stickers at notetag.app/print. The tag stays. The information changes. That is NoteTag.
