Utility Apps

Socket Mobile Companion helps you configure Socket Mobile barcode scanners from the convenience of a mobile device.

• Register a device and extend your warranty by 90 days
• Add multiple devices
• Purchase accessories (limited availability)
• Browse app partners

The Companion app enables you to configure the scanner into the faster and more accurate App Mode, so it can be controlled by other apps, such as Shopify and Square, to name a couple of the 1000+ apps available.

The Socket Mobile Companion app is designed to ensure you get the maximum utility benefits from your Socket Mobile devices.

Stock Count is designed to help users easily leverage the high-speed scanning capabilities of Socket Mobile barcode scanners and SocketCam, our software-based scanner that utilizes your mobile device camera. Intended for routine stock/inventory counting tasks, Stock Count allows users to speedily scan multiple SKUs in a "rapid fire" fashion using SocketCam or with their barcode scanner or RFID reader connected to an iOS or Android device in Application mode.

The scanned data is written into an editable text file where quantity information is automatically added to each scan. Users can share this file (.txt format) and import it into most inventory management systems.

SM Keyboard is designed to address the specific challenge users face when their Socket Mobile scanner is connected to a tablet-based POS application in Application mode. When users want to add inventory in a web browser, they have to re-connect their tablet and scanner in basic Keyboard mode.

This app eliminates this difficulty by providing a custom keyboard for your iOS, Android, or Windows device when in Application mode. As a result, users can enjoy rapid, reliable barcode scanning in any application without the annoyance of switching between modes.

SM Keyboard includes SocketCam C820, a free camera-based scanning solution. The combination of SocketCam and SM Keyboard allows users to utilize their readily available smart device camera for scanning data into any application of their choice, even if their data collection application does not support additional hardware scanners or CaptureSDK. SM Keyboard is also included with Companion for Windows.

This app demonstrates the capability of using a Socket Mobile 2D barcode scanner to verify age by scanning a driver's license, passport, or travel ID. If a Bixolon mobile printer is also connected, a confirmation ticket will also be printed when verified.

Rumba is a web browser that enables high-speed, high-performance barcode scanning and NFC tag reading with Socket Mobile barcode scanners and RFID readers. It also provides:

• Quick data editing at scan time
• Customizable UI through Javascript API
• Full scanner control over Javascript-based SDK

This app is designed to showcase guests/members of a merchant checking in and out contactlessly, using Socket Mobile's S550 NFC reader, an Apple-certified device, with the integration of the Socket Mobile CaptureSDK. You can also use the app to manage guests/members lists, create mobile passes, or even check-in/out with QR Code-based passes (requires Socket Mobile 2D scanners).

NFC Script is the reference application for using the Socket Mobile D600 and S550 data readers over a Bluetooth Low Energy connection.

Connect to a contactless or contact SmartCard, retrieve its ATR, exchange ISO 7816 APDUs; read/write NFC tags or 13.56 MHz “HF” labels. Use the app to explore and validate your own use cases.

NFC Script implements the User Interface to:

• Connect the D600 or S550 as a Coupler to Read & Write RFID tags, SmartCards, and NFC devices.
• Manages the PCSC interface (Card Connection).
• Send Transmit Commands (APDUs) to the Connected Card either manually or by loading a script file.
• View Response from Connected Card.
• Import Models from the Socket Mobile Library.
• Send Control Connects to the S550 and transmit to the Contact Slot.

Maintenance by Socket Mobile provides essential tools for managing and maintaining your Bluetooth® LE (Low Energy) NFC readers and barcode scanners. Designed for advanced users, the app allows you to upgrade firmware, review device performance, and access key diagnostic information.
