NFCThing

NFC in the Browser, No App Needed

NFC tags are great for quick interactions, scanning tickets, tracking inventory, or pulling up information. But using them usually means installing a native app. NFCThing changes that by letting you read and write NFC tags straight from a web browser, making the whole process faster and easier.

Why This Matters

Most NFC tools rely on native apps, which add extra steps like downloading, installing, and keeping them updated. That’s a hassle, especially for businesses using NFC for things like warehouse tracking, event check-ins, or smart signage. A web-based NFC tool skips all that so you can get started instantly.

What NFCThing Does

NFCThing runs in the browser, using the Web NFC API to handle NFC tag reading and writing. No apps, no installations—just open a web page and go. Right now, it works in Chrome on Android, but as browser support grows, it will only get more useful.

Why It’s Useful

• No Apps Needed – Just open the web app and scan.
• Quick Setup – No downloads or approvals, just use it.
• Flexible Uses – Works for tracking stock, interactive displays, check-ins, and more.
• Live Updates – You can write new info to NFC tags on the fly.

How It Works

NFCThing is a simple web app where you can:

• Scan NFC tags to read their data.
• Write new info to NFC tags from your browser.
• Use NFC in real-world situations without installing anything.

That means you can use NFC for things like interactive museum exhibits, self-check-ins, or tracking inventory without dealing with app stores or software installs.

Real-World Use

This makes NFC far easier to use. Instead of developing and distributing an app, businesses and individuals can just use the browser. Whether it’s scanning stock in a warehouse, setting up smart product labels, or handling event check-ins, NFCThing makes the process much simpler.

Try NFCThing

You can use NFCThing right now. Just open it in Chrome on an Android phone and start scanning. Once more browsers support Web NFC, it will get even better.
