Thanks to mmaaaxx for the five star review of Barcode Basics on the Mac App Store
I am just using this to make basic UPC-A barcodes for products, but it’s a pretty slick little program and does exactly what I need with no fuss.

This does exactly what I need it too and it paid for itself in one usage. Make a batch of UPC-A codes for a client. Quick response from the developer was a pleasant surprise as well.

Great little app, that is affordable, simple and quick to use. The developer is really responsive, he added support for Code 128 barcodes a few days after requesting it!

Affordable and does what I need. Excellent value for money. Pretty much faultless.

As a small software company, it’s always great to receive positive feedback about our apps. So, many thanks to NotchValley for the five star review of Barcode Basics on the Mac App Store
Very easy and costs less than 2 image credits from GS1
I’ve only tried a couple of GS1 codes and it worked extremely well. Also it can save into several different formats including eps which GS1 won’t do anymore. Thanks!stars from NotchValley , USA
So, if you’re looking for a macOS barcode generator, with support for 10.15 (aka Catalina), dark mode and all the usual functionality you’d expect from a pro-quality barcode app then check out Barcode Basics on the Mac App Store today!
If you find your regular barcode creator isn’t compatible with macOS Catalina, maybe it’s time to switch to Barcode Basics.
It’s fully macOS Catalina compatible, 64bit, fully code-signed and available on the Mac App Store now. Go get it while it’s hot!
Recently, we’ve had a few questions about 64-bit apps and also code signing. It seemed sensible to talk about them here, rather than keep repeating the same message!
A number of users have asked whether our macOS barcode app, Barcode Basics is a 64-bit app. The short answer, is “yes”. But why does is matter? Well, all modern Macs have 64-bit processors. This means that apps designed to run on 64-bit processors will generally run faster and better than apps designed to run on the old legacy 32bit processors. So, why are people suddenly asking?
macOS displays this message if you try to run 32bit apps
Apple has been supporting both types of apps for quite some time, but has now announced that its current macOS (Mojave) will be the last to support 32-bit technology.
So it’s a good time to check that the apps you rely on are 64-bit, otherwise you may find yourself without them on the next major macOS release. To check whether an app is 64-bit or not, you could either contact the developer or follow these steps:
More about 64-bit here: Apple info on 32-bit/64-bit app compatibility
We also sometimes get asked about code signing. Code signing assures you that an app is from a known source and hasn’t been tampered with since it was signed. Logically, if an app isn’t code signed then you can’t be certain where it came from or that something malicious hasn’t been done to is since it was created – a popular way of introducing malware.
All apps purchased direct from the Mac App Store are code-signed (Apple simply rejects them if they’re not). However, apps from other sources (e.g. downloaded from websites) may or may not be code signed.
Apps which are not code signed can still run on macOS, although you may get a warning when you try to run them, depending on your security settings. If this happens, you should think carefully about whether you trust the source of the app and whether you’re comfortable with the risks of running unsigned code.
More about code signing here: Apple info about code signing

Thanks to KaelOK for the five star review of Barcode Basics on the Mac App Store
Was using an “online” software that is no longer available for mostly UPC-A and EAN 13 codes. I decided I would like the convenience of having software installed on my machine. I chose Barcode Basics because of cost ($19.99) and the developers responses to most all reviews. After using the application, I was very pleased at the ease to generate barcodes. I like using .eps for packaging, no issues at all.
