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
  • 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.
