About

Stikkr

Read full description

Stikkr is a label designer and Bluetooth print app for NIIMBOT D110, B1, B21, B3S and newer Phomemo M110 printers. It runs entirely on your device, with no accounts and no ads. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Design labels on a canvas — text, shapes, barcodes, QR codes, your own images. • Use 150+ ready-made templates: address blocks, price tags, jar labels, cable IDs, return-address strips, and more. • Print over Bluetooth straight to your printer. No cloud round-trip, no print server. • Batch print from a CSV or spreadsheet — type once, print fifty. • Counter labels with optional encryption — keep a private running series across batches without exposing the raw count. • Quick-fill any field from your phone keyboard or a clipboard paste. • Six languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Korean. WHAT IT WON'T DO • No account. No sign-up. No "create your free workspace." • No ads. Not a single banner, ever. • No analytics by default. One optional anonymous toggle in Settings, off out of the box. • No cloud sync in v1.0. Anything you make stays on your device unless you export it yourself. PRINTERS SUPPORTED AT LAUNCH • NIIMBOT D110 — the popular pocket label printer with replaceable ribbons. • NIIMBOT B1 / B21 / B3S — the larger desktop and portable models. • Phomemo M110 (newer BLE models, also sold as M150) — the M110 hardware with the OLED screen. Older M110 hardware revisions that only speak Bluetooth Classic SPP are not supported in this release. OFFLINE-FIRST BY DESIGN Your designs, spreadsheets, print history and printer pairings stay on your device. They are never sent to any server. You can use the entire label-designing-and-printing flow without giving us so much as an email address. The network is touched only for things you explicitly opt into: a one-time purchase, optional anonymous usage statistics, or a cloud feature you turn on yourself. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL UNLOCK Stikkr has a generous daily print quota that covers everyday use. If you regularly run big batches, a one-time in-app purchase removes the cap forever — no subscription, no recurring fee. Single payment, yours from then on. WHO THIS IS FOR People who bought a thermal label printer and would prefer their label app not to upsell them on premium fonts, login flows, or "AI Suggestions". Hobbyists, small-shop owners, archivists, anyone running a tidy household, anyone who labels jars. If you've been put off by the official apps that ship with these printers, this is the app they should have shipped with.
