LTO Finder — Support

Find specific LTO tape cartridges fast, by scanning barcodes with your camera.

LTO Finder helps you locate specific backup tapes in a rack full of hundreds or thousands of cartridges. Paste the list of barcodes you're looking for, point your camera at the shelf, and matching tapes are highlighted live on screen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an account?
No. LTO Finder works immediately after installing, with no sign-up required.
Does the app collect or upload any data?
No. LTO Finder runs entirely on your device. The barcode list you enter and the camera feed never leave your iPhone — nothing is sent to a server, and no analytics or tracking are used.
Is there a subscription?
No. LTO Finder is a one-time purchase with no subscription and no in-app purchases.
How do I enter the list of tapes I'm looking for?
Paste or type the barcodes into the text field on the main screen, separated by commas, spaces, or line breaks — any combination works.
The app can't access my camera. What do I do?
Open the iOS Settings app, scroll to LTO Finder, and make sure Camera access is turned on.
Which languages are supported?
English, German, and Spanish. LTO Finder automatically follows your device's language setting.
Can I find several tapes at once?
Yes. Every matching barcode currently visible to the camera is highlighted at the same time, with an optional vibration on each new match.
