QR scanning that actually works at the rack
Lab-standard ISO/IEC 18004 codes, recognised in about a second - even on faded thermal cage cards under fluorescent light. One scan opens the full record.

The colony, under control.
Scan the QR code on any cage card to log records, then watch your whole colony sync to Google Sheets automatically - on the mobile app at the rack, or the web dashboard at your desk.

/ How it works
Three steps. No clipboards.
The whole workflow lives on the device in your pocket. Point it at a cage card and the record writes itself.
01 - Scan →
Scan the cage card
Point your phone at the QR code on any cage. CageSync recognises lab-standard codes instantly, even on worn thermal labels.
02 - Log →
Log the record
Weights, litters, genotypes, wean dates - capture them in seconds with fields designed around colony work, not generic forms.

Sync to Sheets
Everything flows to your own Google Sheet in real time. Share with the lab, run your own pivots - the data is always yours.
/ Why CageSync
Built for the bench, not the boardroom.
Every feature exists because colony management is fiddly, error-prone, and usually done at the rack. CageSync makes it fast and forgiving.
Offline-first
Vivarium with no signal? Keep scanning and logging. CageSync syncs the moment you're back online - nothing is ever lost.
No dead zones
Real-time Google Sheets sync
Your colony writes itself into a Sheet you own. Share it, chart it, export it - no proprietary database holding your data hostage.
Two-way
Breeding & wean reminders
Wean dates from DOB, breeding timelines, and generation planning - calculated automatically and surfaced before they slip.
Never miss a wean
Compliance-grade records, encrypted end to end
Every field your protocol needs, every change time-stamped. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest on Supabase - and you can export or delete it anytime.
Encrypted Audit-ready Export anytime

Researchers don't go back to clipboards.

I used to lose an afternoon a week to the colony spreadsheet. Now it just fills itself in as I walk the racks.
Dr. Maya Rosen
Postdoctoral Fellow, Neuroscience
“ 
The offline mode is the killer feature. Our vivarium has no signal and CageSync simply does not care.
Arjun Patel
Lab Manager
“ 
It's the first tool my whole lab actually adopted. Scanning a card is faster than finding a pen.
Dr. Lena Hoffmann
Principal Investigator
“ 
Wean reminders alone have saved us more lost litters than I'd like to admit. It quietly does the bookkeeping I always forgot.
Dr. Tomer Avraham
Senior Researcher
“ 
Onboarding a new student used to take a week. Now I hand them a phone and they're scanning in ten minutes.
Priya Nair
PhD Candidate, Immunology
“ 
Audit prep went from two days of spreadsheet archaeology to a single export. That alone justified switching.
Dr. Sofia Marchetti
Facility Director
“ 
The breeding calculator alone has prevented so many missed matings. It just knows when everything is due.
Dr. Chen Wei
Senior Research Scientist
“ 
No more hunting for cage cards or trying to read my own handwriting. Everything is digital, searchable, and actually legible.
Dr. Rachel Johnson
Assistant Professor, Genetics
“ 
The real-time sync means my postdocs and I are always looking at the same data. No more version control disasters.
Dr. Michael Kumar
Principal Investigator
“ 
I can pull colony reports for grants in minutes instead of days. The time savings alone pays for itself.
Dr. Emily Liu
Research Director
“ 
QR codes were a game changer. Point, scan, done. Even our most tech-resistant lab members adopted it immediately.
Dr. James Sullivan
Behavioral Neuroscience Lab
“ 
The data export feature saved us during our last inspection. One click and we had everything the auditors needed.
