In real use

What people use it for

The jobs this tool actually does, in enough detail to tell whether it fits yours.

Stocktaking into a spreadsheet

Walk the shelves scanning with the phone. The list builds on the computer with timestamps and counts, and Save CSV opens straight in Excel or Sheets.

Listing books and media for resale

Scan the ISBN and paste — the number is already on the clipboard when you switch to the listing form.

Goods-in checking

Scan deliveries against the order as boxes come off the van, without buying a scanner gun that lives in a drawer the rest of the year.

Serial numbers and asset tags

Every scan is captured exactly, timestamped and counted — no misread digits from typing numbers off labels.

Long links from posters and screens

A QR code across the room becomes a link on your computer, without photographing it and emailing yourself.

Questions

Does it read normal shop barcodes?

Yes. Android phones read EAN, UPC, Code 128 and more directly. iPhones read QR codes on the phone — and when your computer runs Chrome or Edge, it reads shop barcodes from the iPhone’s video too, and the phone buzzes on every hit. The page tells you exactly what your combination supports the moment you connect.

Can I get the codes into Excel?

Yes. Every scan is listed with a timestamp and a count, and Save CSV downloads the lot ready to open in Excel or Sheets.

Does it count duplicates?

Your choice. By default the same code scanned twice increases a count; switch on “count duplicates” and every scan becomes its own row, which is what stocktaking needs.

Also free from Use My Phone: send a PDF for signature — twenty documents a month where the usual free plan gives three, ten signers on each, and nobody you send to needs an account.
