Print labels straight from your iPhone to the label printer on your network. LabelDeck speaks ZPL directly to your printer over Wi-Fi. There is no cloud service in the middle, no account to create, and nothing to install on a computer. FIND YOUR PRINTER • Sweep your network and list every label printer that answers • Or enter an IP address directly — for a printer on another subnet, or with network discovery switched off • Detect Settings asks the printer to describe itself and fills in the form, marking which values are measured facts and which are only settings • Live status: ready, out of media, head open, paused, labels remaining • Mark one printer as the default and it is preselected everywhere COMPOSE A LABEL • Multi-line text, wrapped to the printable width • Font size in points, converted against each printer's own print density — the same saved label comes out the same physical size on a 203 and a 300 dpi unit • Auto-Fit picks the largest size that still fits, allowing for a barcode • Left, center, right and justified alignment • Rotate 0°, 90°, 180° or 270° • Code 128 and QR barcodes, sized to fit automatically • 1 to 99 copies • Live preview, and the exact command stream on request before anything is sent SAVE AND REUSE Keep any label you compose and reopen it later to edit. Import labels designed elsewhere — from the printer's own storage, from a file, from the clipboard, or through the share sheet. FILL-IN-THE-BLANK FIELDS Label design software bakes the sample text you typed at design time into the export as fixed data. Normally the fix is opening the file in a text editor. LabelDeck lists every text and barcode value it finds, and you tap the ones that should be variable and name them. Printing then shows a short form of just those fields, remembers the values you used last time, and previews the filled label before sending. Labels pulled from the printer's own storage arrive with their variable fields already declared and named, so there is nothing to mark by hand. Text that no longer fits is shrunk to fit, and the app tells you which field it shrank — rather than letting a long value run off the edge of the label. PRIVACY Your labels, templates and printer list stay on your device. There is no account, no sign-in, and nothing you create is uploaded anywhere. COMPATIBILITY Requires a label printer that accepts ZPL over a raw TCP connection on your local network — including Zebra® ZD and ZT series. Bluetooth and USB-only printers are not supported. LabelDeck is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Zebra Technologies Corporation. Zebra and ZPL are trademarks of Zebra Technologies Corporation.

Your landlord has a ledger. You have a radar. DepositRadar turns the photos you were going to take anyway into sealed, court-grade evidence - and quietly watches every deadline your state's law gives your landlord to return your security deposit. WHY RENTERS WIN WITH DEPOSITRADAR - 50-state deadline engine: every state gives landlords 14 to 60 days to return your deposit. DepositRadar counts down your state's exact window and alerts you at 30 days before move-out, 3 days before the deadline, on deadline day, and the day after - when statutory penalties may kick in and you can claim up to double or triple. - Rental file in about a minute: add your address, lease dates, deposit amount and state - suggested automatically from your location. A default room checklist is created for you. - Guided inspection walkthroughs: a built-in move-in checklist walks you through living room, kitchen, bedrooms, bath and more. Snap, and the app auto-advances to the next room. Zero typing required. - Evidence that holds up: every photo is stored as the original file - never re-encoded - and sealed with a SHA-256 fingerprint plus capture timestamp. Move-out mode shows your move-in shot beside the camera so you can match it frame for frame. - Statute-cited demand letter: when the deadline passes, generate a formal demand letter that quotes your state's exact statute and penalty multiplier - prefilled with your amounts and dates. Export as a lawyer-look PDF, mail it certified, and keep the receipt as evidence. - Certified-mail tracker: record the day you mailed your forwarding address and archive the receipt photo - a key exhibit if the refund never arrives. - Exhibit-ready evidence pack: print three copies - one for you, one for the judge, one for the landlord. Numbered exhibits, table of contents, chronological timeline. Every export re-verifies each fingerprint. - Verifiable manifest: export a JSON manifest where every photo's fingerprint can be independently checked with any hash tool. Trust, but verify. - Damage log: spotted a cracked tile in October? Log it the day you spot it, sealed and timestamped. - Small claims steps: a plain-English guide from filing to hearing day for tenants who are owed money. FREE INCLUDES 1 rental file, 60 sealed photos, the full 50-state deadline countdown and all deadline alerts - free, forever. LIFETIME UNLOCK One-time purchase. No subscription, ever. Unlocks unlimited rental files and photos, demand letter PDF export, the exhibit-ready evidence pack, the verifiable manifest and the full room compare view. Family Sharing included. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No cloud. No tracking. Your photos never leave this phone. Works fully offline. DepositRadar provides general information, not legal advice. State rules are verified against official sources as of the app's rules version shown in Settings. Download DepositRadar before your next move-in - future you, getting the full deposit back, says thanks.
