Is There a Simple Stock Control App That Works on Your Phone
Yes, there is. Lagerliste is a stock control app you run from your phone: scan a barcode or tap a tile, and it tells you what you have and what to order. No spreadsheet, no separate scanner, no training needed.
What counts as 'simple' here
Simple means two actions cover most days: scan or tap. You are not filling in ten fields per item, building categories first, or reading a manual before you start. Lagerliste is built for one person running a workshop or a storeroom alone, so the app only asks for what changes the reorder number.
Does it actually work on a phone, not just a desktop with a phone view
Yes. Lagerliste runs in your phone's browser at https://lagerliste.pixygon.io, so there is no app store install step. The barcode scan uses your phone camera. You can stand at a shelf, scan, and move on — the same flow works whether you are on your phone or a tablet at the counter.
What it actually does for you
You scan a barcode or tap a tile for an item without one. Lagerliste logs the count and works out what you should order next, based on what you have left. That is the whole loop: check stock, see the shortfall, order it, done.
Who it is built for
Lagerliste is made for makers and storeroom owners who run things alone — not warehouse teams with dedicated stock staff. If you are the one person who knows where everything is, this is that job made faster, not a system you have to manage on top of your actual work.
What it is not
It is not a full ERP system and does not try to be one. There is no invoicing module, no multi-warehouse routing, no finance reporting layer. It does one job — know what you have, know what to buy — and keeps that job quick.
A note on keeping stock records for tax or accounting purposes
In Norway, businesses have bookkeeping duties under the Bokføringsloven, and some of those duties touch inventory records depending on your business type and turnover. Lagerliste is a stock overview tool, not a bookkeeping system, so it does not replace that legal record-keeping on its own. If you are outside Norway, check your own country's bookkeeping or tax rules for what inventory records you are required to keep and how.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a simple stock control app that works on my phone
Yes. Lagerliste runs in your phone's browser, no app store install needed, and the core actions are scanning a barcode or tapping a tile.
Do I need a separate barcode scanner
No. The barcode scan uses your phone's own camera through the browser.
Is this an app I have to install
No. You open it at https://lagerliste.pixygon.io in your phone's browser, so there is nothing to download from an app store.
Can I use it if I run the stockroom alone, with no team
Yes. It is built specifically for one person managing stock alone, not for a multi-person warehouse workflow.
Will it tell me what to reorder, or just show a count
It works out what you should order based on your current stock level, so you get a reorder signal, not just a raw number.
Does it replace my legal bookkeeping requirements
No. In Norway, bookkeeping duties under the Bokføringsloven may require separate inventory records depending on your business; Lagerliste is a stock overview tool, not a substitute for that. If you are outside Norway, check your own local bookkeeping rules.
