Tagaris iOS app for iPhone and iPad

Tagaris for iOS pairs with your own Tagaris server. Pair it once, sign in as you would in a browser, and work the register from your phone: scan a label to open the asset, change its status or whereabouts, add a new asset, audit a room from the shelf, or move stock. Nothing is hosted by us; the app talks only to the server you pair it with. It works on the free tier. Android is in development.

The Tagaris iOS app home screen with Scan and Audit

What it does

The jobs that happen away from a desk, done where they happen.

Scan a label to open the asset

Point the camera at a printed QR label and the asset opens, with its whereabouts, status, history, photos, attachments, maintenance records and linked tickets.

Change whereabouts and status

Assign to a person or location, put an asset into stock, or change its status, including your own custom status labels, with the same one-tap next steps as the web app.

Add assets from the phone

Scan an unknown serial or tag and choose Create asset, or fill in the basics by hand. A blank tag takes the next free one, and photos can be taken with the camera.

Audit mode

Records an audit for each label you scan, as the stock-take workflow does in the browser, and tells you when a label belongs to a different server or is not found.

Stock

Check accessories out, install components and issue consumables from the stock room or the desk you are standing at.

Browse and search

Assets, people, locations, accessories, components and consumables, for when there is no label to scan.

App lock

An optional Face ID or Touch ID lock, with the device passcode as fallback, guards the app when it opens or returns to the foreground. The sign-in session is unaffected; the lock only gates the screen.

Appearance

Match the device, or force light or dark.

Pairing and signing in

There is no separate mobile account. The app uses your own sign-in.

1

Enter your server address

The same address you use in the browser, for example https://assets.example.com.

2

Sign in as you do in the browser

Password with two-factor if it is enabled, or single sign-on. There is no API key to create; the app uses your own session, so your role and your organisation's security policy apply unchanged.

3

Work the register

The app remembers the server and the session. Sign out from the Account tab.

What the server needs

Tagaris 2.3.0 or later. The app's endpoints ship with the server, so there is nothing extra to install.
Any tier, free included. No API licence is needed; the app is separate from the REST API.
An address the phone can reach, so not localhost, with BETTER_AUTH_URL set to match it.
Plain http:// is fine for a server on your own local network. Anything reached over the internet should sit behind a reverse proxy with HTTPS.
A certificate from a public authority such as Let's Encrypt where you can. iOS does not trust self-signed certificates unless the certificate is installed on the device.
The mobile app guide and the install guide cover the details.

Privacy

The app connects only to the server address you enter. It sends nothing to Goodhall Solutions or to any third party, carries no analytics, and stores only your server address and session on the device, in the iOS keychain. The security page covers the server side.

Try it against the public demo

Pair the app with demo.tagaris.co.uk. The demo credentials are shown on the sign-in screen. The Scan tab needs a printed label, so the Browse tab is the quickest tour: asset detail, status changes and stock.

Android

Android is in development. Until it ships, scanning a printed Tagaris QR label with any phone camera opens the asset's page in the browser, and the web app works on a phone.

Questions people ask

Does the app need a paid licence?

No. The app works on the free tier. Its endpoints ship with the server and are separate from the REST API, so no API licence is needed. Whatever your role and licence allow in the browser, they allow in the app.

Do I need a separate account for the app?

No. You sign in with the same account and the same method as in the browser, including two-factor and single sign-on. Accounts are created on your own server by its administrator; the app has no account creation and no backend of its own.

Can I scan labels without the app?

Yes. A Tagaris QR label opens the asset's page in the browser when scanned with any phone camera. The app adds audit mode, which records an audit for each label you scan, plus photos from the camera, the app lock, and pairing that remembers your server and session.
