Using the barcode scanner to add items fast

Point your camera at the barcode on a product and let WardenLock fill in the name and details for you, so adding a whole room of items takes minutes.

Typing in every item by hand is the slow way. WardenLock's barcode scanner lets you add things just by pointing your camera at the label on the back or bottom of a product.

How it works

  • Open the scanner and line up the barcode — those black stripes you see on most packaging.
  • WardenLock looks the product up and fills in the name and details for you.
  • Check what it found, add a photo or a value if you like, and save.

Where it works best

The scanner is perfect for kitchens, pantries, garages, and anywhere full of store-bought items. For older or one-of-a-kind things without a barcode, you can still add them by hand in a few taps. Scan what you can, type the rest.

Could you prove what you own if it were gone tomorrow?

WardenLock helps homeowners and renters catalog everything they own — with photos, values, and receipts — so insurance pays what you're actually owed. Free to start.
