Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An iPhone document-scanning app that turns camera captures into clean PDFs without an account, watermark, ads, or cloud upload.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

Field notes

The app describes a local-first workflow: camera capture, edge correction, PDF creation, and export through the iOS share sheet, with scans kept in the device's app container. Its free tier includes unlimited pages and watermark-free exports, while the paid tier adds searchable text through Apple's on-device Vision framework, reusable signatures, and PDF operations such as merging and password protection. The page also identifies iOS 17+ support and places iPad functionality on a future-release roadmap.
