Phone as scanner
Open the pairing link on your phone and start scanning. Your phone camera becomes a wireless barcode scanner for your desktop spreadsheet.
Scan barcodes with your phone.
Export straight to a spreadsheet.
No Download Needed (PWA). Works right in your browser. Just point your phone camera at a QR, then point it at barcodes. Data lands in your desktop browser in real time.

Scan on phone
Lands in spreadsheet
Everything you need for barcode data capture
Works entirely in the browser. Your data never touches a server.
Real-time sync
Scanned barcode data streams to your desktop over WebSocket. See each scan appear in the sheet as it happens, with no page refresh needed.
Export CSV & XLSX
Download a clean .csv or .xlsx file compatible with Excel, Google Sheets, and Numbers. Choose from inventory, event, or library column templates.
Privacy-first architecture
Barcode records stay in your browser's local storage. The server relays scan messages between paired devices but never stores your barcode data.
Google Drive backup Pro
Back up scans to a folder inside your own Google Drive. Files stay in your account — we never see them. Restore from Drive on any device.
Export to Google Sheets Pro
One click sends your records straight to a new Google Sheet in your Drive. No manual upload, no CSV middle step — just open the sheet and start working.
How it works
Three steps from open to export.
1
Open on desktop
Sign in and create a phone pairing session. A QR code appears on screen.
2
Scan on phone
Point your phone at the QR code to pair, then point it at any barcodes. Each scan sends instantly to your desktop.
3
Export to file
Edit quantities or notes inline, then export as CSV or XLSX. Close the page when you're done — everything is ephemeral.

Built for the work that needs to get done
ScanSheet pairs a desktop browser with any phone camera. Start scanning in seconds — no install, no account required. Create a free account when you're ready to upgrade.
Local-first
Scan rows live in your browser. The server only relays paired phones in real time and never persists barcode content.
Backup and restore
Free users can download a JSON backup of every scan and restore on another browser. Pro users can also sync backups to their own Google Drive (BYOC) for off-site durability.
You can leave
Delete your account and all server-side data at any time. Barcode data is yours; export then delete from settings.
Frequently asked questions
Do you store my barcode data on your servers?
No. Barcode records are stored in your browser's local storage. The server only relays scan messages between paired devices in real time and does not persist any barcode data.
Do I need to install an app on my phone?
No native app is required. The phone scanner opens as a PWA in your mobile browser. Point at the QR code from the desktop page to pair, then start scanning barcodes.
Can I use ScanSheet offline?
The phone scanner works offline — scans are queued on the phone and sent when the connection resumes. The desktop view requires a network connection for phone pairing, but previously scanned records remain accessible.
Which barcode formats are supported?
ScanSheet supports all common 1D barcodes (UPC, EAN, Code 128, Code 39, etc.) and QR codes through the ZXing library.
How many rows can I scan for free?
The Free plan supports up to 1,000 scans per sheet. The Pro plan increases this limit to 10,000 scans and adds unlimited phone pairing, auto product name lookup, custom templates, Google Drive backup, one-click export to Google Sheets, and priority support.
