About this app

CageSync is a smart QR-based animal colony
management app built for researchers,
by researchers.

Stop managing animal colonies with paper
cage cards and manual spreadsheets. CageSync
lets you scan cage QR codes and existing lab
barcodes directly from your smartphone camera,
log colony data in seconds, and automatically
sync everything to your Google Sheet.

FEATURES:
- QR code and barcode scanning via camera
- NFC tag support — tap to open cage record
- Breeding cages: litters, genotypes, weaning
- Experimental cages: treatments, weights,
endpoints
- Automatic Google Sheets sync
- Weaning date reminders (DOB + 21 days)
- Works offline — saves instantly to phone
- Separate workflows for breeding,
experimental, stock and recovery cages

PERFECT FOR:
- PhD students managing breeding colonies
- Postdocs running in vivo experiments
- Lab managers overseeing multiple cages
- Any researcher who wants less paperwork

YOUR DATA IS SAFE:
All colony data is stored locally on your
device. Google Sheets sync is optional and
handled through Google's secure OAuth system.

Built by a researcher who ran mouse colonies
and knew there had to be a better way.

Scan. Log. Sync.
