All Features

Scan anything.
Act on it.

Scan product barcodes to build checkable shopping lists. Works at any store — just point your iPhone camera and the item appears on your list.

How It Works

Tap, point, done.

01

Tap Scan

Tap a scan button on your iPhone. The camera view opens with a scanning overlay.

02

Point

Point your camera at any barcode or QR code. Detection is automatic and instant.

03

Route

Scanned data is sent to your Mac — injected as text, added to a list, or opened as URL.

Page-Scoped Routing

When a scan button lives on a specific page, the scanned barcode is sent to your Mac with that page's label as context. The host knows where the scan happened and routes it accordingly.

Example

  • Scan a UPC on the "Groceries" page → item added to your grocery list
  • Scan an ISBN on the "Books" page → book added to your reading list
  • Scan a QR on the "Coding" page → text injected at your Mac cursor

Automatic Product Lookup

Scan a product barcode and PromptDeck looks up the name automatically.

UPCitemdb API

Product names resolved via UPCitemdb. Works out of the box with the anonymous trial endpoint.

Optional API Key

Register for a free API key (100 lookups/day) and store it via Manage Secrets as upcitemdb-api-key.

30-Day Cache

Scanned products are cached locally for 30 days. Repeated scans don't count against the API limit.
