Scan barcodes and QR codes in a second, count stock as you go, and export everything to a spreadsheet. No ads, no account, no sign-up. Use it to check what a single code says, or to scan hundreds of items in a stocktake. Every scan is saved to your history and can be exported as a CSV file that opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets. FEATURES • Automatic scanning: EAN/UPC, ISBN, Code 128, QR codes and more — just point the camera • Count mode: scan the same code again and its quantity goes up, so counting stock becomes the record itself • Folders: keep separate lists per aisle, shelf, room or job, and export each one on its own • CSV export with date, format, value and quantity columns, plus optional operator and location columns • Adjustable scan interval (0.2–3 s) with an on-screen countdown, so you never double-count a code • Camera zoom (0.5× / 1× / 2× and more, depending on your device) for small or distant codes • Front-camera scanning and a flashlight with brightness control for dark stockrooms • Edit quantities afterwards, or add a code by hand when it will not scan • Copy, share, open links and search the web for any scanned value GOOD FOR • Stocktakes, cycle counts and inventory checks • Receiving, picking and goods-in checks • Looking up an ISBN or product barcode • Event check-in with QR codes FOR BUSINESSES Available for bulk purchase and distribution through Apple Business Manager.
