Countstead

Read full description

Countstead helps small businesses know what they have, where it is, and what is running lowβ€”without adopting an ERP or warehouse system. Count kitchen stock in kg and litres, set low-stock levels, and export a stocktake. WORK OFFLINE Keep items, counts, locations, and history available on your iPhone or iPad without an internet connection. No account is required for local use. SCAN AND FIND ITEMS Use the camera to scan a barcode or QR code and find an item you already track, or prefill its code when creating a new item. Countstead reads codes on device and does not query an external product catalogue. TRACK EVERY MOVEMENT Record stock in, stock out, recounts, corrections, and transfers. Each change is added to a clear activity history so the original record remains visible. KNOW WHAT IS WHERE Track balances by location and move stock explicitly between shelves, vans, storerooms, and storefronts. CATCH LOW STOCK Set a threshold for an item at a location, then use the Low Stock report to see what needs attention. BRING YOUR DATA WITH YOU Import up to 10,000 rows from CSV. Export items, locations, balances, events, transfers, and activity as a documented CSV package. Countstead is iPhone-first and adapts to iPad. Local inventory remains usable without an account or connection. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Inventory Tracker

Read full description

StockCount is an inventory tracker for counting small stockrooms, supply cupboards, tools, market-stall stock, and home-business suppliesβ€”without setting up a complex inventory management system. Know what you have and where it is Organize inventory by shelf, bin, cupboard, room, box, vehicle, or kit. Start a count for one location and work through its items in a focused session. Verify quantities with large controls, scan a barcode or QR code you have saved, or mark an item as not found. When the count is finished, StockCount shows what changed, what is low, what is missing, and what still needs checking. See what needs restocking Set a minimum quantity for each item. StockCount gathers low-stock items into a practical restock list you can review and share. Move beyond a spreadsheet without losing control Import inventory from a CSV file with a preview before anything is saved. Export your raw inventory as a named CSV file whenever you need it, so your data is never trapped. Built for real shelves and stockrooms Use StockCount to: - Count stock by location - Track quantities, minimum levels, units, SKUs, notes, and photos - Attach barcodes or QR codes to items - Match a saved item by scanning its code during a count - Review count history and share count summaries - Create printable inventory and count PDF reports - Search items by name, SKU, or location - Make a low-stock restock list Private by design StockCount does not require an account or a team workspace. Your inventory is stored locally on your iPhone. There is no custom backend, cloud account, advertising tracker, or online product database. Scanning accelerates your count, but manual entry always works. Your first 25 active items are free, with every StockCount feature included. Monthly or yearly StockCount Pro unlocks unlimited active items. Existing inventory remains available if a subscription ends. StockCount is intentionally focused. It is not accounting software, a point-of-sale system, ecommerce software, or warehouse ERP. It is a practical inventory tracker for knowing what you have, where it is, and what needs restocking.
