Countpad is a small, fast inventory tracker for people who just need the numbers to be right. Open it, add your items, and count. Tap + or โˆ’ straight from the list, or tap the number to type it in when there are 143 of something. That is the whole idea. WHAT IT DOES โ€ข Count from the list โ€” increase or decrease without opening a detail screen โ€ข Scan a barcode to jump to an item, or to create one with the barcode attached โ€ข Search instantly across name, barcode, category and unit โ€ข Filter by category, or by what is in stock, running low or run out โ€ข Create a report in one tap โ€” a clean PDF and a CSV, ready to share or print โ€ข Back up everything to one portable file in a folder you choose, and restore it later โ€ข Add a photo when two items look alike, and a unit cost when you want a report to total it WORKS WITHOUT A CONNECTION Counting, search, filters, reports and backups all work in airplane mode, in a stockroom with no signal. Your inventory is stored on your device. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED. NO ADS. No sign-up, no email, no password. Open the app and start counting. Nothing interrupts counting. COUNTPAD PRO Counting, searching, filtering, scanning, the quick report and backup and restore are free for everyone, with no item limit. Countpad Pro adds more for a growing business: advanced reports, an Alerts tab that tells you what needs attention, a Dashboard of your stock, locked backups and Automatic backup. Your first use starts a 30-day period inside the app so you can try them. Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time Lifetime purchase.
