Scan a stack of barcodes back-to-back without re-aiming. Useful for inventory counts, event check-ins, or library archives.
Tap a scanned retail barcode to look it up - the barcode number is run through a search engine and matching results come straight back. On iPhone you pick the engine: Google, Ecosia, DuckDuckGo, Bing, or Startpage.
Every scan is saved with a timestamp. Favorite the scans that matter, give one its own title, and share it straight from the history view.
Links can open the moment they're scanned, on iPhone and Android. On iPhone, a scan can also run a Shortcut, fire a webhook, or get spoken aloud - the same five-hook automation that powers NFC and QR.
Three settings turn the scanner from one-and-done into a continuous workflow. Multi-scan lets you scan several codes in one camera session. Batch read keeps the camera open for inventory or event check-ins. Auto-torch kicks the LED on in low light so you don't fumble for the flashlight button.
Point the barcode scanner at your back-office system. Every barcode read fires a webhook to your URL, so your inventory database, attendee CRM, or library catalogue updates in real time as the camera moves. See Webhooks & Automation for the JSON payload shape and a reference server.
NFC.cool plugs straight into the iOS Shortcuts app with built-in actions: grab the last scanned NFC tag, write a message to a tag, open the scanner, or pull the last scanned QR code. Chain them into Shortcuts that scan a tag, parse its payload, and kick off whatever you want next - automation, logging, journaling, you name it. The same actions power the lock-screen Scan Button control on iOS 17+.
Your barcode scan history syncs across every device on your iCloud account. Scan a shelf of products on the iPhone, review the list on the iPad, title and share scans from the Mac - one synced history, nothing to move by hand.
