Turn any list into scannable codes. Or scan real codes into organized tables. BatchFlow is the only app that does both — in one clean, simple workflow. GENERATE CODES FROM YOUR DATA Enter your items, import a CSV, or type them in row by row. Table Scan Lab creates a QR code or barcode for every entry instantly. Print them in bulk, share as a PDF, or export individual images to use anywhere. Perfect for: Product and shelf labels Event badges and wristbands Asset and equipment tags Inventory stickers Library cataloguing SCAN CODES INTO YOUR TABLE Set up your columns first, then start scanning. Point the camera at any barcode or QR code and BatchFlow finds the matching row and marks it verified. Your progress updates in real time — see exactly how many items are done and how many are still pending. Perfect for: Warehouse and stockroom counts Retail inventory checks Event guest check-in Receiving and dispatch logs Equipment audits QUICK CAPTURE Not every scan needs a project. Point your camera at any barcode for an instant lookup — product name, brand, category, and more pulled from live databases. Copy the result, search it online, or open it in Safari in one tap. TEMPLATES Jump straight into a job with built-in templates: Inventory — track items, quantities, SKUs, and storage locations Warehouse — manage pallets, logistics, and shipping Event Check-In — scan tickets and automatically log arrival times Collection — catalog personal items with condition and value fields EXPORT EVERYTHING Get your data out in the format you need: PDF — print-ready, formatted reports Excel — open directly in Numbers or Microsoft Excel CSV — compatible with any spreadsheet or database tool BUILT FOR REAL WORK Bulk select and print multiple codes at once Four print layouts from large to mini Import CSVs to pre-load your table before scanning Full-text search across every project Duplicate rows with a single swipe Live progress bar showing scanned vs. pending Manual code entry when the camera can't read a code Torch support for scanning in low light Global search across all your projects at once YOUR TABLE, YOUR WAY Name your columns anything you want. Set text or numeric keyboards per field. Barcode mode keeps values short and compatible with any standard reader. QR mode holds richer data for more complex entries.

Your notes, as cards. Obsidian, made casual. Obsideck is a relaxed way to use your Obsidian notes on iPhone and iPad. Point it at any folder — your Obsidian notes in iCloud Drive, a local folder on your device, or anywhere the Files app can reach — and your notes appear as a tidy grid of cards. Tap a card for a quick preview, follow links and tags, check off tasks, and switch to a focused editor whenever you want to make a change. Everything stays fast and light — no heavy setup, no plugins to configure, just your notes, ready when you are. **Free to start, unlock once** Free to download: browse, search, edit, create notes, and use the preset themes. One Unlock adds pins, card colors, backlinks, the Custom theme, daily notes, and widgets — no subscription, Family Sharing supported. Existing buyers get everything at no extra cost. **A card grid for casual browsing** Your notes are laid out as cards in a masonry grid, like sticky notes. Sort by date modified, date created, or name. Reorder by dragging. With Unlock: pin notes to the top and color cards. Long-press a card for quick actions. **Themes** Choose Violet, Ocean, or Warm, or build a Custom theme: per-element colors, bold and italic, and code block colors. Adjust text size and line spacing for the preview and the editor in Appearance. **Daily notes and widgets** Obsideck reads your Obsidian daily-note settings and shows today's note on a Today card. Add New Note, Today, or Pinned widgets to your Home Screen; the data they show stays on your device. **Rich Markdown preview** - Headings, emphasis, lists, quotes, and code blocks - Frontmatter shown as a clean, structured panel - Callouts (`> [!note]`, `> [!warning]`, and more) rendered with icons - Images embedded with Obsidian syntax: `![[image.png]]` **Wiki links that actually work** Tap a `[[note]]` link to jump straight to that note. Obsideck searches all your notes to resolve links, supports aliases and heading links, and lists backlinks to the note you're reading; with Unlock, tap one to jump there. **Tappable tags** Tap any `#tag` to instantly search your notes for every one that uses it — inline tags and frontmatter tags alike. **Interactive task lists** Check and uncheck `- [ ]` task items right in preview — tap anywhere on the row, not just the checkbox. Your changes are written back to the file. **Edit with a focused editor** Switch to edit mode for syntax-highlighted Markdown editing. Changes auto-save back to the file, so your notes stay in sync with Obsidian and every other tool you use. **Privacy first** - No account or sign-in, and no servers of ours — only Apple's iCloud sync and App Store purchases - No ads, no tracking, no analytics - Your notes never leave your device or your own iCloud Drive - Obsideck reads and writes only the folder you explicitly select **Please note** - Obsideck is a companion reader/editor for Markdown notes; it is not affiliated with Obsidian or Obsidian.md. - Obsideck is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by Dynalist Inc. Obsidian is a trademark of Dynalist Inc. - The app works with plain Markdown (.md) files. Some advanced Obsidian plugin syntax may not be rendered. - Obsideck is designed for everyday note collections — roughly up to a few hundred notes per folder and a few thousand notes in total. Performance is not guaranteed for very large collections beyond this range. - To use your Obsidian notes, keep them somewhere the Files app can reach (for example, iCloud Drive). - Card layout (order, pins, and colors) is saved in a small hidden `.obsideck` folder at the top of the folder you chose, so it syncs across your devices along with your notes (for example, via iCloud Drive). It never modifies your note files, and Obsidian simply ignores the folder. Deleting the `.obsideck` folder resets the layout to default.
