Field notes
The homepage describes scanning from phone-camera photos: the app is said to detect page edges, straighten them, and make black-and-white copies. OCR is listed for English and Spanish; digital-certificate signing uses PAdES, with sequential multi-signer preparation and an audit page. The project names Apache-2.0 and pdf.js, pdf-lib, and Tesseract.js among its license and underlying components. Offline resources are stored after first use.
