Network Barcode Scanner

Scan a barcode with your phone, or with the trigger of an Android handheld, and have it typed on your computer, as if a USB barcode scanner were plugged in. No cable, no pairing, no account.

HOW IT WORKS
Install Network Barcode Scanner on your phone and on your Mac, Windows or Linux computer. The phone finds the computers on your network by itself and sends every code you scan to all of them. On the computer the codes appear in a list, and with auto-type turned on they are typed into whatever app has focus, followed by Enter or Tab.

BUILT FOR HANDHELDS
On handhelds with a built-in scan engine, such as the Chainway C90 or Sunmi devices, the app uses the hardware scan trigger instead of the camera. The broadcast settings can be adjusted for other devices.

MADE FOR THE COUNTER AND THE WAREHOUSE
• Check in tickets, look up products, count stock or fill in forms
• Reads all common barcodes and QR codes with the camera
• Shows which computers receive your scans
• Skips repeated scans of the same code, with an adjustable wait time
• Confirms every scan with a sound
• Light and dark mode

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Codes travel only inside your local network, directly from the phone to your computers. The app has no account, no analytics and no ads, and collects no data.

The computer app is free as well: projects.hannesrueger.de/network_barcode_scanner
