BarCopy

BarCopy does one thing: it reads barcodes and QR codes, and lets you copy what they say. A product's EAN code, a tracking number on a slip, a URL inside a QR code. When all you want is to paste it somewhere else, squinting at small digits and typing them in — then checking them again — is time you never get back. ■ Just point it There is no shutter button. Hold a code up to the camera and it is read automatically and added to the list below. No focusing, no lining it up inside a frame. ■ Scan as many as you like No need to reopen the app between codes. Point at the next one and the values stack up in the order you read them — useful when you are working through a shelf or a box of parts. ■ Tap to copy Tap a row to put it on the clipboard. Long-press instead, and you can select and copy just part of the value. ■ Copy them all at once "全部" (Copy all) puts every scanned value on the clipboard, one per line, ready to paste into a spreadsheet or a note. ■ Pause when you need to Flip the "停止" (Pause) toggle while you look back through the list. The camera preview blurs, so you can see at a glance that nothing is being scanned, and nothing unexpected sneaks into the list. ■ Your history stays Scanned values survive closing the app, so you can come back and copy them later. Swipe a row to the left to delete it, or clear everything at once. ■ Barcodes and QR codes Supports EAN/JAN, UPC, Code 128, Code 39, ITF, PDF417, Aztec, Data Matrix, QR and more. The symbology is shown under each value. ■ Everything stays on your device Scanned values are stored on your iPhone and never sent anywhere. No account, no network, no ads, no tracking. It works offline. Good for: - Copying product barcode numbers into an inventory sheet - Noting down serial numbers from equipment or shipping labels - Copying the URL inside a QR code without opening it - Reading a batch of codes and pasting them all into a spreadsheet Note: the app's interface is in Japanese.
