How to Use

Basic Operations

  • Edit Single Label: Single-click or double-click any label to edit its text directly
  • Edit Multiple Labels: Select multiple labels and click "Edit Selected"
  • Select Labels: Shift+click for range, Cmd+click to toggle selection
  • Drag Selection: Click and drag to select multiple labels with marquee
  • Navigate: Use arrow keys to move between labels
  • Select All: Cmd+A to select all labels

Drag & Drop

  • Move Labels: Select labels, click and hold, then drag to new position
  • Group Move: Selected labels maintain their relative positions
  • Drop Target: Green highlight shows where labels will be placed

Bulk Operations

  • Fill All: Add the same text to all labels
  • Fill Selected: Add text to selected labels only
  • Bulk Fill: Enter multiple label names (one per line) to fill from selected label (or first empty spot if none selected), wrapping as needed. Set Copies of each label to place several of each in a row.
  • Edit Selected: Advanced editing with replace/append/prepend options
  • Enumerate: Number selected labels sequentially
  • Clear All/Selection: Remove text from all or selected labels

QR Codes

  • Enable: Tick QR codes to add a scannable code to each non-empty label, encoding that label's exact text. Keep the text short (a sample ID) so the code stays scannable when printed small.
  • Built to last: Codes use high error correction (recovers ~30% damage) and print with a white quiet zone border, so smudges, frost, and a slightly trimmed label edge won't stop them scanning. Just don't let a label be cut so far it removes a corner square.
  • Heads up (iPhone): The built-in Camera app treats a plain ID as a web search, not something useful. Use a scanner app that shows the raw text instead.
  • iOS app: Qrafter — displays the decoded text, copies it, and keeps a scan history. (Or add Apple's Code Scanner to Control Center.)
  • Android app: Binary Eye — open-source, works offline, shows raw text and keeps history.
  • Want tap-to-open? Encode a full URL to your database/LIMS (e.g. https://lab.org/s/00423) instead of a bare ID, and any camera will open it directly.
